Special Election megathread (6/11: OH-6, 6/25: CO-4)

[Suburbia]

Nina Turner's son is a police officer, and her husband is a retired police officer.

Will that disqualify her?

She'll be seen as part of the corrupt system. Once you are a part of the "family", you are complicit.

The Democratic Party has a strain of anti-police sentiment baked in with the leftwing movements.

bronz, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent statement were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, & may God have mercy on your soul.

It's not dumb what I said, it is the truth. When people find out that she is connected to cops, she could lose her leftwing base.

No, caricaturing the left as a group that will cancel somebody because their relatives are police officers is indeed dumb.

I see it happen all the time, even in New Jersey. A lot of people have been canceled because they are associated to cops, etc.

I had a friend unfriend someone because her daughter is a cop.

I don't know how to say this any more politely, but your sense of scale is off.

No, my sense of scale is not off.

It's the truth. You have places like small shops that say they won't serve cops, etc.

Then you want to know why the relationship between cops and civilians are so tense.

I like Nina, she needs to win and she needs to be on the Judiciary Comm., she can handle the Jim Jordans of the world who will deny police brutality.

She's more level headed than Cori Bush

I am surprised Turner's cop ties haven't damaged her yet

Her cop ties?

Her husband and son are police officers. Black police officers are seen as sellouts....I am surprised this hasn't been brought up yet.....

Do we really need another squad member?

We need about 430 more. Also anyone remember when a bunch of freshmen republicans tried to make their own “squad” a few months back?

You need an ideological balance...you need Blue Dogs and Squad.

I want to see Nina Turner clash with Nicole Malliotakis over policing in the House.

There is no need for Blue Dogs. Their ilks and failed "bipartisan" (in reality, policies that favors the elites) policies led to the rise of Trump.

Blue Dogs do represent normal people....they are in rural areas.....and no, not every Blue Dog is corporate....

Still don't get why folks on Atlas seem to care about this race so much

You forget, my friend. We're not in 2021. We're in 2016 Part 5.

Poor Nina Turner.

I like her. She should run for this seat again or for Governor......

She is feisty....
