You can't let those types of people make headlines in the middle of your convention.

Don't care if a few Bob's were upset.

she just about loses control. If she and her followers want to hand the election to Donald Trump by campaigning against Hillary, so be it. But, they will have the blood of millions of Americans on their hands. That's the way I see it.

And besides why was she getting so much face time. She was state senator serving only 6 years.

You can bet that they would have not pulled her from speaking if it wasn't serious.

After this convention it's time to do some pruning.

We have been infiltrated by crazy radicals in Free Mumia! T shirts.

These people weren't democrats before it was convenient to be democrats. And I mean that about a certain Vermont senator too.

I love how you know who is a Democrat and who isn't.

There are no tests or oaths.

I have an idea. Let's call up Erdogan. He's good at purges. Maybe he can help.

Do you undermine democratic candidates who have been duly elected and nominated?

If so, you're no democrat.

Defend her all you want. She's a joker and a fool. There is no "revolution." Being "radical" doesn't make you "progressive."

I'd say supporting Jill Stein after the last few days makes a very clear test of who is the enemy.

Dems attacking Dems... Please, unity only occurs during 1week very 4 yrs. otherwise, it's hear sing cats.

I wish we would adopt a parliament! Then we could have better representation and more parties.

when our opponent is a damn fascist demagogue.

... the no. of opponents to whom Erdogan has said, "You're fired."

I guess some folks are ok with purity tests after all.

Bullshit.

Erdogan is purging people from a position of state power.

We are talking about a private political party. You don't have free speech in a private institution. You don't have guaranteed rights to dissent and mess things up and shout down elected officials.

Typical leftist demagoguery. It's the far left who wants to shout down its opponents and purge people who fail to meet THEIR ridiculous purity tests.

Turns out that insulting your allies worse than your enemies has made the far Left rather unpopular among their allies. Who could have guessed??

Seeing a lot of that here these days. You know who says 'far Left'?


Bill O'Reilly

We've privatized democracy?? There are two viable parties only, at least on the national stage. So now some believe that you gotta keep your mouth shut or be banished from either/or. My, we've come a long way!

More accurately, "I guess some folks are ok with party platforms..."

Even though we have much in common, it would be the height of absurdity to showcase a plea to vote for an opponent at a party's convention.

sounds a lot like Trumpism to me.

"After this convention it's time to do some pruning."

I don't know what happened with Turner.

in the general.

The primary is over. Which side are you on?

Black Bloc/Free Mumia childish anarchists and wannabe "revolutionaries" need to form their own party. What we have seen here is a successful infiltration of the Democratic Party by people who don't care about democracy. They lost an election and can't accept that millions of people chose the centrist candidate? Then they are not worth a bucket of poop.

I've been a Democrat for 42 years and there are people on this board who want to tell me I am NOT a Democrat if I don't like a candidate that has been a Democrat for a year and a half. I would have supported that candidate had he been selected by my party.

I predict a lot of these people who are trying to demonize people who have sustained this party for a long time will leave the party and not work for down ticket candidates much less the proud woman at the top of our ticket.

with the exception of foreign policy. She's pretty much to the left on most issues. Her and Bernie aren't super far apart ideologically. Its more about methods, imo.

I'm falling into the loony left's silly scheme.

Hilary is progressive as hell. If elected she will be among our most progressive presidents ever.

As opposed to the Bro-aggressives. Thanks for the reminder.

Bernie and Hillary are together now and have crafted the most progressive platform in D history. Are you on board with Bernies "looney left" positions now that Hillary is on board with them?

Geesh, some people. Can you please tone it down rjsquirrel? Nina Turner's been sidelined ... and maybe she deserves it, I don't really know because I haven't been paying attention to her. Maybe she doesn't deserve it? I don't know that either. If she has been saying to the public, the media or Party officials that she won't vote for Hillary but will vote for Jill Stein instead, then sidelining her seems reasonable. But some of the stuff you are saying frankly strikes me as not a lot different from Trumpism. The Party's been infiltrated "by people who don't care about democracy"? Really? You have the corner on that judgement? You know how long all of these people have been members of the Party? Really?

Differences? You sound like Trump.

But, the majority of those Democrats understand where the line cannot be breached. Turner is not one of them. She continues to threaten to burn down the house. The people in that house will rightfully not allow her on the property in the future.

Anyone notice that after the convention began on day one, the two haven't been seen together at all?

She doesn't mention Bernie as much as she used to either, but talks solely about "political revolution".

It appears she is trying to co-opt the movement from Bernie and deliver it to the hands of Jill Stein.

Fortunately, the more sane Bernie supporters are not following.

Only a very small percentage of Bernie supporters will leave with her.

It was absolutely right to remove her from the list. I'm sure Bernie agreed.

party, then she has no place on the Democratic stage.

That's the joke of many extremists on left and right. She's like Sarandon and West and Grayson and so many other idiots we've allowed to use the left to make themselves famous.

She is not with the people. She's with Nina. And she's willing to see Presidendt Trump, so screw her.

A) his "DU" account is not actually him

B) have you read the news about him lately? He's a wife beating hedge fund manager who hides his millions in the Caymans and he is just about drummed out of his primary because of what just came out.

To top it off he practically attacked a reporter who asked him about it Tuesday.

Lots of DU members know and say he is a bully, and a creep, and has zero legislative accomplishments. All he has is a big mouth, and some people like that.

I'll trash men who hit their wives all day long. Go ahead and alert on me.

will you ask hem to stop beat his wife.

Is join DU an we can no longer trash them? Might want to rethink that.

It's a shame.

This articulate woman had a great chance of a long career in politics...she has now s**t in her mess kit. It's sad to see such talent drop away from our party. Nina will be a young "has-been" within 2 months.

"Wasted talent," as the Bronx Tale saying goes.

Sad.

sad

as a progressive "firebrand".

However I am seeing more and more, where in some cases the "firebrands" (like her and Cynthia McKinney) get pulled further and further into the fringe, which often results in a self-inflicted wound to their credibility.

What a lunatic.

They should be stripped of their credentials. They are obnoxious trolls at this point.

She doesn't have a job. This is all she's got. What else is she going to do, and her behavior is being rewarded with national media coverage. It's more attention than she ever got while in office.

She ceased being anything other than a needless irritant, some time ago.

she's been running around.

is staying silent about her removal,I think there's a reason for that.

I was looking forward to hearing her; she's always worth the time to listen. I would rather have heard her than some.

The more irrelevant she becomes, the more relevant she thinks she is.

With her in the room she said she is a Democrat, like it or not. DNC didn't like it.

endorsed Hillary, but asked his supporters to follow suit.

This is all on Nina Turner for deciding not to support the Democratic nominee

The vast majority of Bernie supporters not only will vote for Hillary, but will work within the Democratic party to push the issues they strongly believe in.

Seems to me like a lot of conjecture.

As a former Bernie supporter, when I hear people say it's time to move on, in part what I am hearing from some folks posting here is Bernie's agenda lost so drop it and get on board, or get lost. THAT ... is what sounds like a PURGE.

in a shameless attempt to boost her own visibility and bona fides. She supported Hillary early on, but she realized that doing so would gain her no media time. What media outlet was going to interview a D-lister like her when Hillary had more high-profile surrogates than you could shake a stick at?

By aligning with Sanders, she became an instant A-lister, one of the few D politicians willing to back his campaign. Unfortunately, the media time exposed her to be a horrible, horrible surrogate for Sanders, while also doing lasting damage to her own public image.

Put a fork in her, because she's done. She'll probably seek the Green Party presidential nomination in 2020.
