Nina Turner was a progressive fighter in Ohio and helped the black community there since If you've never been to Ohio, the black community wasn't/isn't very well represented outside of certain places.
She ran for state secretary and lost... soo. People lose elections all the time. Then come back and win. She chose not to run again.
Her loss was actually 59 to 36, not really two to one. Also again Ohio, she had a lot of big money against her.
Why is it so hard for folks here to understand that most times whoever has the most money wins. Not everytime, but most. She also ran against an entrenched Republican.
Didn't Abrams lose?
I donated to her, and supported her run, but once I learned she took money from Bloomberg, I'm good. Call me a purist. But I don't think using the money of a racist to fight racism is good.
If you think so, I'm happy for you. I won't support corruption anymore. They need to earn my vote.
