Nina Turner will prove to be a fraud just like the rest of the squad. Why?? Here's the red flags:

1) Didn't publicly come out and endorse #ForceTheVote .... watch the videos of her trying to weasel her way out of directly answering the question whether she supports FTV when asked by Krystal Ball (in Rising) and Briahna Joy Gray on previous occasions!!

2) Didn't publicly endorse Shahid Buttar when he ran against Pelosi for Speakership

While I love her personality and think she has the perfect combo of charisma and policies to have a huge impact in politics, she is already not being forceful enough in criticizing the Democratic party. It was noticeable even in this interview when she was asked about what she thinks about the Democrats' actions with regard to pushing the stimulus checks and other relief legislation in Congress. A very bad sign this early on.

I disagree

Nina Turner Endorses #ForceTheVote!

She endorsed it,

indirectly,

after the fact,

just like AOC.

There was no 'before the fact.' - As Kyle points out, Dore put ZERO planning into executing 'force the vote.' - It would have taken months of ground work and consensus building to even have a chance at success. -- But Dizzy Dore wasn't interested in winning. He just wanted to use FTV to bash true Progressives over the head with.

It’s a shame. Not one mention. Not one #forcethevote hashtag. Her whole Twitter feed was full of it. Totally ignored it and squirmed out of the question with krystal on the show. Very disappointed.

your views on progress are deeply concerning which attributes to the divide that the left is currently in. i suggest you read the Art of war which emphasizes the use of intellectual warfare as opposed to brute force. i believe Nina Turner, the squad, and Bernie Sanders all display a kind of intellectual warfare that our political environment allows, without being hyper criticized by colleagues and possibly isolate from position of power. i Believe this path allows for progress that not only unites, but also provides a very peaceful transaction of power(a goal of many) which ultimately leads to systematic change.

Personally i think the electability issue she discussed about could explain the reason for those choices. I feel like in a strategic way she would try to not make the same mistake as Bernie Sanders and avoiding giving a chance for the media to coalesce her with terms like socialism. So not taking direct stands on those particular issues especially against Nancy Pelosi could help her on not being too much on a spotlight against the establishment especially in these times where she is trying to run for congress. But thats just my opinion.

You mean the movement that was thrown together at the last minute without structured planning on how to proceed if Pelosi didn’t cave to the pressure? The problem with #forcethevote is that it assumed pelosi would cave.
