    1. Yeah, sure, we heard the same threats in 2016, 2018, and 2020. The progressives make a lot of noise, but are very unpopular with normal people.

    2. @Deborah Freedman Hey, I didn’t vote for Hillary and she lost. I voted for Biden and he won. I’m not disagreeing with you that progressives are pretty pathetic, but we do have some SOME power. I’m pretty sure I won’t be voting for Biden a second time, so take that as you will…

    3. @Deborah Freedman They’re not unpopular, the GOP is literally cheating by gerrymandering. Republicans never win the popular vote. Imagine that. Progressives, on the other hand, typically win by strong majorities.

  1. I want Nina Turner to win. In a 222-213 House, we cannot imagine the horror of having Joe Manchin type Democrat

    1. You mean a Democrat who isn’t lock step with the establishment? The establishment has given us slugs like Biden,Pelosi,Schiff,Schumer,and Nadler. Nothing better than old white liberals to destroy America.

  2. So…people are tired of our government giving special treatment to friends, Companies and Donors and they decide to support one that faces felony charges for that very thing? Wow.

    1. But but but… uhhhh….uhh…… wait I think i saw Ivanka Trump behind a potted plant look over there!!!! (runs)

    1. Is it another one of those false allegations brought to damage a good politician? I guess, as a woman, you can’t trot out some “progressive” liar, falsely claiming a sexual assault, like was done in the NYC mayoral primary, so an ethics allegation is all you’ve got.

    2. @Deborah Freedman ,..hardly a good politician,..with endorsements with big pharma & GOP,..🙄

    3. @Deborah Freedman don’t be a Trump clone. Before you embarrass yourself and scream “fake news” i suggest you explore the details of the allegations above–they are proven instantly obvious. This is not a troll post nor a slam or shade on Brown–she’s just not the better and moral candidate. Nina is. question i have is why does she make you uncomfortable? And that’s the real truth of this, isn’t it?

    4. @Deborah Freedman it’s not, she’s actually had an ethics investigation running against her for quite a while now for directing over $17 million in city contracts to a company that her significant other is an executive at
      Pretty corrupt.

  3. Why nothing on Brown’s corruption? Or the clap track she has to bring to sparsely attended events. Nina has the backing and energy of the people. Brown is supported by corporations. Why no so-called “reporting” on that?

    1. Shontel is backed by Republican donors and Nina is backed by the people.

      The choice is an easy one; the choice is Nina Turner

    2. FOMOOS = Fear of Missing Out On Sponsorship. Progressives represent the people who aren’t an allied group of corporate donors. All we have to offer is the most important thing–our vote!

  4. Nina Turner tells the truth.
    The other candidate tells the party line “truth”.
    Trump got elected because we were sick of the latter and the more you push for the party line “truth” the more you get Trump 2.0

    1. Nina Turner helped Donald trump win the elections in 2016.
      She hated Hillary to the core…But Im sure Hillary is better than DT.
      She will lose to the other candidate.

  5. WOuldn’t it be insane to have an AOC/Turner ticket in 2028?!? OMG whatever is left of the Reich White will headsplode!

    1. There’s “hopeful” and then there’s “fantastical”
      Make it 2032 for a double female presidential ticket

  6. Ethics Probe, can you say it? Shontel Brown Felony. You don’t know about it? Isn’t it your business to know about it and tell us all about it?

  7. John 8:44
    Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    Isaiah 5:20
    Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
