The plus side is that there are a number of progressive candidates that DO have significantly greater backing that have their primaries coming up. And since Nina Turner didn’t have the same cavalcade of progressive organizations backing her this time, she performed worse than before. In other words, it’s the same problem we’ve been dealing with since 2016. Unless you can afford to consistently run adds on TV and get your campaign out there, a lot of people will just vote for the incumbent. Meanwhile, the people who show up to vote for every election are typically older voters who will lean more towards partisan politics and less skepticism. Those who would most likely support Nina Turner over Shontel Brown are the people who either don’t vote, or only show up during Presidential elections. The vast majority of people do not follow politics as closely as most people reading this. While it is true that a lot of leftists tend to think to be prone to echo chamber thinking, the same is just as true as establishment media. There are some people who will say shit like “oh, that bowl of shit comment cost her” or “oh she spends too much time on Twitter attacking other Democrats,” but tbh, this sounds like a bunch of coping. So the question everyone is asking is “why did Nina Turner lose?” And there are a multitude of different explanations provided, but the most likely one is her lack of endorsements and financial support when combined with the overwhelming smear campaign against her. Because God forbid we treat politics like a serious topic the effects the lives of millions of people instead of like a team sport. Good to see where your priorities are you fucking parasites. KHive certainly was not above gloating less than 24 hours after SCOTUS announced that Roe Vs Wade was being repealed. Oh, and Nina Turner got destroyed in her election as well. Unless, of course, your ego is more important than the well being of the millions of vulnerable people in this country who are at risk as long as Republicans are in power, but I’m sure that’s not the case at all!!!! Yes, I’m fucking mad. You’re all a bunch of fucking idiots and I hate you all, but you need to bang and get over it before Republicans strip away any of our other human rights. It’s quite impressive how much power that an actress who I never even heard of until she didn’t vote for Hillary can single handedly sway the election, yet Ruth Bader Ginsburg refusing to retire in 2014 just in case she needed to approve any more oil pipelines through Native American graveyards before handing her seat over to Amy Coney Barret bares no responsibility! Oh, you didn’t think I’d let these sneering liberals off the hook, did you? The sneering liberals whose first instinct is to blame Susan Sarandon for the millionth time. What they ARE wrong on is fucking everything else. I hate to say it, but the Democrats are not wrong when they say “vote harder” is the solution to this. Say what you want about Hillary Clinton, but the Supreme Court would have 7 Democratic justices if she were elected in 2016. I don’t even want to talk about this shit, not just cause it’s dangerous, but all the stupid twitter leftists whose immediate response is to blame the Democrats and talk about how voting doesn’t work, when this is a direct consequence of Republicans winning the Presidency in 2016. Do you really think they wouldn’t do so? Do you think that just because most of the country doesn’t want that to happen, that they wouldn’t do that? Well, wait until you hear that the vast majority of Americans support Roe Vs Wade. The Civil Rights Act could also come undone, maybe even the 19th and 14th amendments. And if they get their way, they will not stop there. LGBT rights are next on the chopping block. Right now, it’s abortion, but they will keep coming for our rights. There’s no more reasoning with these people, and every liberal notion that these people are well meaning people is not only insultingly off base, but is actively harmful. We could sit around and speculate as to what the Republicans hope to gain from this, but at times like this, I just need to remind you that 56% of Republicans believe that Democrats, both the party and their voters, are a cabal of child predators running a sex trafficking ring. It’s not so much a question of “what happened” but more so “why?” Starting with the SCOTUS leak that Roe Vs Wade will be overturned, this only makes sense as the logical conclusion based on the direction this country is heading.
