 So if you'll recall back in May we talked about an internal poll from Nina Turner's campaign And it showed that she had a 35 point lead over her closest opponent She had over 50% of the vote But I cautioned everyone back then if you'll remember this I said look just because things are looking good now Doesn't mean that things won't change because the establishment the Democratic Party They're seeing the same poll that we're all seeing so all this is going to do is catalyze an all-out war against Nina Turner And that's exactly what happened Lobbyists came out in droves to try to stop Nina Turner Hillary Clinton Jim Clybert all came out to stop Nina Turner and guess what the establishment's war on Nina Turner is Working it is very successful because now a new internal poll from her opponent shows that her lead has shrunk drastically and Now is the time to panic folks so as Ali Mutnik of political explains Nina Turner opened an early lead in this summer's hotly contested Ohio special election But the progress of heavyweight might not be running away with it a new internal poll by her top competitor Coyahogy County Democratic chair Chantel Brown Suggests the Democratic Party race has tightened and the survey conducted in early July Turner led with 43% followed by Brown with 36% that seven-point gap is a much closer spread than earlier polling from both candidates an April survey from Brown's campaign found her trailing Turner by 32 points 42% to 10% and Turner's late-may poll showed her with 50% of the vote up 35 points of a Brown, but now she is seven points behind Nina Turner That is a huge swing So if she made up that much of a gap She can easily surpass Nina Turner given a few more weeks within a few more weeks So it is panic time and if you were previously sitting out this race because it's Nina Turner And she's a political behemoth. She has more money in name recognition Now is the time to not take this race for granted now is the time to get involved donate anything if you can even a buck or two Support Nina Turner on the ground phone bank Everything that you can possibly do to help Nina Turner now is the time to do it because I'm telling you folks The Democratic Party establishment isn't just going to allow her to walk to victory I knew that when that gigantic lead was released That was the beginning of the end of her status of just basically coasting and it's not like she wasn't already fighting hard for this But it's no longer going to be an easy fight now It's going to be a really difficult battle to try to overcome the entire Democratic Party and corporate establishment Now to show you what Nina Turner is up against outright lies So this race, you know, Nina Turner has basically been running on Medicare for all because it's very popular in this Heavy Democratic Party Leaning District. So what are they doing now to counter that since her opponent doesn't support Medicare for all They're just lying about Nina Turner's position and they're Implying that she doesn't actually support Medicare for all So Ryan Grimm shared this mailer that was sent out by DMF five, which is Democratic majority for Israel pack and it's a mailer that tries to suggest that Nina Turner is against raising the minimum wage and Universal health care and also she's against immigration reform as well and you can see all of this right here They're basically explicitly saying Nina Turner doesn't support raising the minimum wage. How awful is that Nina Turner? Doesn't even support immigration reform. How awful is that? Priorities that you care about the most now to say that Nina Turner doesn't support universal health care or immigration reform or raising the minimum wage It sounds wrong Because it's a lie now the reason why they're saying that she's against these things is because she voted against the 2020 Democratic Party DNC platform now ask yourself. Why would Nina Turner vote against this platform? Well, it's specifically because it didn't contain the things that she wants Medicare for all But rather than pointing that out They're saying well, you know what? She actually doesn't support universal health care Even though Chantel Brown literally is against Medicare for all Well, Nina Turner is the one who's actually against Medicare for all and Washington Post reporter Dave Wagle breaks it down saying the letter claims that not supporting the 2020 DNC platform means you oppose universal health care That's wildly dishonest Sanders delegates including Ro Khanna and Rashida Tlaib oppose the platform explicitly because it did not Contain Medicare for all now he adds not every Sanders delegate voted no There was an understanding that this was a protest vote of a platform that was not going to pass anyway And basically what they're trying to do is equate her with Donald Trump Well, you see Nina Turner said that voting for Joe Biden is like eating half a bowl of shit Rather than a whole bowl of shit with Donald Trump. So, you know, that's bad She's really divisive Americans came together to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris So why is Nina Turner trying to be like Trump and divide Americans further? So they're trying to make it seem like she's Trump Ian when ironically they're the ones who are being more Trump Ian by explicitly lying about her positions Nina Turner has been very consistent about her support for Medicare for all It's been one of her main issues that she's running on in this race But what do they do to counter that rather than just adopting Medicare for all themselves? They just lie and say actually Nina Turner doesn't support Medicare for all And it's not just that the Democratic Party establishment is now coming out against Nina Turner Now the media is predictably joining the Democratic Party's smear campaign against Nina Turner So the Daily Beast's Roger Solenberger writes Democratic star Nina Turner blows pledge not to take lobbyist money flip-flop Bernie Sanders 2020 national coach here Nina Turner said she wouldn't take lobbyist donations Guess what happened next and he writes according to federal election Commission records However, the Nina Turner campaign reported a March 31st donation of $1,000 from the director of a mayor public affairs a firm Turner founded last September as an offshoot of DC based lobbying shop Mercury public affairs and on January 19th three days after her tweet Turner accepted $250 from a partner at Mercury per FEC filings Okay, so they're very clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel here but let's just accept the author's argument here and Let's let's agree. Nina Turner is a flip-flopper She took two problematic donations One from a firm that she founded and another from a firm from an individual at a firm that she's associated with So that's $1,250 that are bad that Nina Turner should probably return and not to mention that $250 that she took I mean, I've probably given more to Nina Turner myself I'd have to check but basically I signed up to donate $27 per month to Nina Turner I've also bought merch and given her, you know, $10 here $15 there So, I mean, it's funny like you can you can see how desperate they are But let's just accept that Nina Turner flip-flopped on this position if we're being extra charitable to this author Who's definitely not trying to smear Nina Turner? Okay, so Nina Turner flip-flopped on this issue here. She's still the better candidate Hands down by a mile and a half because guess what her opponent not only openly accepts corporate PAC money and Lobbyist money and a lot more than the amount that Nina Turner received But she also publicly solicited donations from pro-Israel super PACs and on top of that She placed quotes on her website to show how pro-Israel she is so that way this well-funded lobby would jump in the race and Support her and guess what she did get them on board because now they're smearing Nina Turner that DMFI Mailer was sent out by the Democratic majority for Israel And I don't think it's a coincidence that she put a quote from the DMFI president on her website Basically saying hey come and support me I'm pro-Israel I'd love to have some of your support in this race and some of your money in this race So it's disingenuous Anything that Nina Turner has previously done any little misstep that she makes even if we can say alright by By her standards perhaps this is something that's problematic perhaps Nina Turner should return those donations Even though they're from individuals. They're still technically, you know, their occupation is lobbyist So perhaps she should return these donations even if we accept the worst that they believe about Nina Turner She's still the best candidate in this race and would unquestionably Unquestionably be one of the best fighters in this country for the policies that they claim that she doesn't support So it's so desperate and you see their desperation but guess what it's finally paying off for them and look if you've been sitting out now is the time to get Involved because here's the deal folks. It's gonna be Nina Turner or Chantel Brown a progressive or Corporate Democrat who doesn't support Medicare for all Who shamelessly? Tries to solicit donations from the pro-Israel lobby while they were doing a bombing campaign in Gaza executing civilians children So you have to ask yourself Do you want Nina Turner to take that seat and actually fight for progressive policies? Or do you want a corporate Democrat to take that seat? I think this is a very clear solution if you're a leftist and any leftist who wasn't getting involved to help Nina Turner here. I Don't know what you're doing So I mean we have to absolutely go to bat for Nina Turner now because her success here is in jeopardy and Her lead has basically disappeared and at the rate that it is shrinking it may be gone come election day So now is the time that we get involved Don't kick yourself later get involved now and fight for Nina Turner if you want her to fight for you It's that simple. This is easy to me
