I listened to Sen. Sanders on Tweety about his climate change plans.

[TomSlick]

I agreed with everything he said but at the end of each sentence I yelled at the TV - "but have you fired Nina Turner yet?" As long as he has Nina Turner working in his campaign, I cannot support Sen. Sanders in the primary. I'm wrong and I know I'm wrong but I can't get past this.

Mind you, I will swallow my bile and vote for him if he wins the nomination but I'll need an antacid.

[W_HAMILTON]

1. He sure makes the rounds on TV for someone that claims to be subject to a "media blackout."

[Cha]

2. Yeah...

So why are they complaining? It's not going unnoticed that he's on ALL the time.

[George II]

4. He's already been on Chris Hayes' show twice THIS WEEK!

[ehrnst]

12. Yeah, I know...

[lapucelle]

3. From yesterday.

Mahalo! lapelle

[monmouth4]

5. I look forward to when he just goes away. n/t

[mcar]

6. He's been on a lot of shows

I thought the MSM was working against him.

7. Bernie's plan would need legislation, something he isn't very good at. Bernie also shows little

interest in, or knowledge about, foreign policy and relations.

A first nuclear conflict, which experts say we are closer to than ever before in history, would cause a climate catastrophe. However never heard anything on working for anti-nuclear proliferation, an Obama passion.

Bernie’s wheelhouse is narrow and shallow, filled by his ideology.

I am singularly unimpressed by plans he can’t bring to fruition and his ignorance of issues our next
president MUST address as the leader of a super-power, the free world, and in view of Trump’s blunders and negligence having brought us time forward on that nuclear clock.

Climate change is not the only existential issue we face.

Sexier though climate change may be, all of our candidates have good and in some cases highly
do-able plans for, while foreign policy, a less de jour area, is intertwined with climate change, and equally an existential matter.

8. Nice critique...

[Cha]

9. Thank you, emmaverybo!

[yardwork]

11. You're not wrong. Poor judgement is an important red flag.

It's easy to go on TV and say all the right things. It's very difficult to implement them. Who a leader chooses to work with says a lot about the eventual success or failure of promises.

[Cha]

14. And, in this case with hiring all

the 3rd party jill stein advocators in the GE.. and all the nasty things they had to say.. it says more than enough.

Mahalo, yardwork

[yardwork]

16. Exactly.

Mahalo, Cha!

21. ..

[Eric J in MN]

15. Why do you want Nina Turner fired? NT

NT

[TomSlick]

17. Because she is opposed to the Democratic Party.

She trashes Democrats at every opportunity.

If Senator Sanders wants to be a Democrat, he needs to hire Democrats in his campaign.

[Eric J in MN]

24. Nina Turner was a Democratic Ohio State Senator

...and was the head of "Our Revolution." About 99% of the candidates "Our Revolution" endorses are Democrats, the other 1% being Green Party.

[TomSlick]

25. Yes, she WAS.

Now she trashes all Democrats except Senator Sanders. So long as she is on the payroll, my assumption is she speaks for the Senator.

[Eric J in MN]

29. Give me examples of Nina Turner 'trashing all Democrats' NT

NT

[LanternWaste]

31. it was only a matter of time before someone actually attempted to rationalize her employment

I figured it was only a matter of time before someone actually attempted to rationalize her employment with BS.

And here we are.

[jcgoldie]

18. Turner went on TV in the fall of 2016 to advertise her opposition to the Democratic nominee

And to support Jill Stein. She continues to support as recently as a couple of days ago Susan Sarandon for being even more vocal in her opposition to Clinton. And Bernie Sanders thinks thats an appropriate person to hire as his national co-chair.

[LWolf]

19. I love Nina Turner.

I would love to see her on the ticket as VP.

[Jakes Progress]

20. And Deripaska as Sec. of State?

Seems like a guaranteed continuation of the trump regime.

[yardwork]

22. Do you love her because she brags about voting for Jill Stein in 2016?

[TomSlick]

23. Holy Jesus!

Are you hoping that Democrats stay home on election day?

[defacto7]

26. It has to be sarcasm.

[TomSlick]

28. Yeah, I don't think so.

Note the poster suggesting Turner on the ticket is a Sen. Sanders supporter.

Every time I see Ms. Turner on the TV, etc., a get angry all over again. I have honestly reached the point that when I see Sen. Sanders on TV I scream at him to fire her.

[defacto7]

27. I absolutely agree about Turner.

[Autumn]

30. I find him easy to watch. He doesn't misspeak, get confused or ramble about himself or his past. nt

[LanternWaste]

32. He rambles about his past quite often.

There have also been serious misstatements on his part "kids on street corners" and referring to Planned Parenthood as "part of the establishment..."

But I get it... the Purity Narrative reserves your criticisms for Biden alone, and sacred cows are immune to their own gaffes.

[Autumn]

33. Disagree. He talks issues most of the time. nt

[TSIAS]

34. I feel you

Until Kamala Harris publicly denounce Mr Weaks, Bravenak, and other unsavory actors in the K Hive I cannot in good faith consider voting for her.
