I am excited to endorse @BernieSanders for our next President of the United States.Bernie has spent his career fighting for working people and standing up to corporations and special interests.He has the grassroots energy and the vision to inspire voters across America. pic.twitter.com/uG4dEJ9GUa— Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) February 21, 2019
Ro endorsing already

Cool, one of his campaign co-chairs was rooting for Trump to win. Really winning over the people who soured on him in 2016. https://t.co/Trawg8x7Pa— The only Simpsons fan on this site (@agraybee) February 22, 2019

Not for the last time, I ask, who cares? Is Turner running?
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Friday, 22 February 2019 03:27 (five years ago) link
You may not get this but there are some people who viewed Trump and the GOP winning as a bad thing with significantly negative consequences. There are people who were serious about not seeing that happen. Saying “who cares” about this too nakedly telegraph that you’re not one of these people.
It’s potentially too big an ask for Democrats to back him unless he rectifies it. At the very least he should be made to justify it. No one gets to complain if he doesn’t get support now.
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 03:47 (five years ago) link
He needed to get rid of people like Turner if he was serious about this campaign.
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 03:48 (five years ago) link
its great that Ro is endorsing but I think it probably makes more sense for AOC to hang fire for now and endorse later into it (if she decides to of course! may be decide not to endorse any particular candidate, which is also fair enough!)

I'm sure tens of Americans are furious about Nina Turner being on his staff.

Cool, one of his campaign co-chairs was rooting for Trump to win.
Once Bernie's campaign for the nomination was done, how much did he pay this campaign co-chair to chair his non-existent campaign in favor of Trump, that's the dirty secret I want to know. Because if Bernie wasn't behind this person's endorsement of Trump, then obviously as soon as he discovered what this person was saying, Bernie should have beaten this person until they cried for mercy and would sign any recantation he put in front of them. That's how we should expect real leaders to act.
Never mind that Bernie himself publically and frequently endorsed Hillary after she won the nomination and never said one word about wanting Trump to win, we can easily see his true adherence to Trumpism shining through in his secretly bankrolling this campaign co-chair to endorse Trump.

I don’t know how many people care but this means we don’t get to complain if Dems don’t back him now.
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 04:09 (five years ago) link
Bernie was a good surrogate for Hillary and her campaign should have put him on tv more. He just has some people like this in his orbit for whatever reason and hand-waiving something like this away isn’t justifiable
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 04:12 (five years ago) link
The vast majority of Dems were never at risk of doing that. xp

Turner did not endorse Trump in any way afaict. Even in the same interview excerpted upthread, she also said "the Democratic platform is the more progressive platform by far; the Democrats have the stronger ideas".

It’s fine I guess. None of his stans are gonna act baffled and angry by people not wanting to vote for him probably

Did she endorse the democrat running against Trump? Or did she make a point of not doing that on national television just before the election?

There is the possibility Bernie might die peacefully in his sleep during all this and we want to be able to remember him in a good way. The conspiracy theories his stans would likely embrace after that would be brutal though

I pray to god it doesn’t happen but Whiney’s thread here has seemed by dominated by posts where people are indirectly voicing their worries over this (let’s face it) plausible course of events. I thought I could offer folks a sense relief of being the first to say it.

Xpost okay thanks Whiney that’s a good frame of reference and that makes me feel a little bit better.
Also another thing that might help put it in perspective is to think of all the people you probably know irl as well as the people you see when you leave the house everyday who are 77 and older, it’s really not small.
