Between this and her silence on Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian's repugnant behavior at The Young Turks, I am officially DONE with @ninaturner.bsky.social. This level of naivety is going to result in the GOP controlling the US House of Representatives for the rest of my life. Nina is a pathetic loser.
This bitch must have been born yesterday.
Tried that, didn't work! This is where we have to go.
People like nimrod here just don’t understand there is no partisan ANYTHING with this government.
@ninaturner.bsky.social bipartisanship???? It takes two and republicans are too weak and feckless to challenge their dark money paymasters. Wake The Fuck Up
I loathe Nina Turner… she’s the reason Hilary lost 2016. The reason Kamala lost 2024. The protest vote in 2016 The Arab protest vote 2024 She is sickening
She also tried to kneecap Biden in 2020.
Yes she did… and she’s trying again now
is she on crack? bipartisanship with maga???? has she been under a rock?
People like her are going to be as responsible for the destruction of democracy as the republicans.
They have a name: Liberals, they're the 'left' (center to the rest of the democratic world) that will never divorce from capitalism, which means if you're not an owner of a means of production you're less than to them on some level.
Bi/partisan legislation 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 did you and Gov Newsom do some sort of freaky Friday move?
That’s hilarious
They “should” but “don’t”
There was legislation to prevent gerrymandering. Every Dem voted for it. All rethuglicans voted against it. What do suggest now Nina ? Bipartisanship didn’t work. It’s time to fight fire with fire.
No such thing as bipartisan legislation with the MAGAts
Hey, Nina, you have always been really loud, but never really bright. Bipartisan? On what planet?
Tina is definitely living in a dream world of yesteryear! This is a new and violent era for Americans and we need to Fight hard and dirty to keep our democracy! I don’t believe there will be an election in 2026 or 2028 and all of this is a distraction.
The whole "trust the process" argument is what got us into this shit hole predicament we're in now
Congress is doing nothing. Congress is lost to us
If things worked like they should, that would be the preferred way. When you have a President and Congress that ignore the rules and do what they want, you have to find ways to fight back that are not what you would normally do.
"Bipartisan:" Giving the GOP exactly what they want and then watching as they still vote against it because it was your idea.
For Nina Turner's option to work we'd have to wait for everyone in the current Rep. party to die of old age & we can't wait that long. The current crop of Rep.s will never cooperate in any significant way.
Nothing she said is wrong. She is identifying the issues. Gerrymandering blue states to match red states just kicks the can. I agree that the solution at the moment is untenable, but calling her a 'pathetic loser' for only saying true things is just unnecessary.
I stopped listening yo them a long time ago. They are the Manchin,Synema and Fetterman of podcasters
Oh, yeah, bipartisan solutions. Yeah, I don't think any GOP reps or senators are going to crawl out of trump's ass long enough for that to happen.
My god she meaning Nina lives in fantasy land.
She is right, but only for non MAGA opponents. In today’s world you either fight or you give up.
Think Nina believes in the tooth fairy
Congress should be working on a lot of things, like immigration reform, tax reform, redistricting reform. But they are not. They are Trump sycophants and won't do ANYTHING unless Trump says do it. So Congress needs to change. And wresting control of the House from the GOP is phase 1.
It’s not like Democrats are not being transparent about the gerrymandering. They’re being honest about why they’re willing to do it as opposed to the Republicans’ gaslighting.
IF we can get a fair election.
fair as possible under the circumstances, anyway
This is why Dems keep losing. Republicans do not care about legislation or laws anymore. There is nothing bipartisan anymore. They need to get that through their thick heads! Fight back or STfU and get out of the way.
Nina Turner is irrelevant now. Like John Roberts.
@ninaturner.bsky.social Are you not paying attention to what the GOP is doing, OR not some would say OR are you just stupid.
Congress should, but they won’t. Ever. So it’s this or nothing. Not a hard choice, Nina.
I blocked Nina years ago.
Nina…. Please wake up
This isn't anything new, she's a liberal. They're hard to see the difference between that and people who actually want to lift all boats until the heat gets turned up. Then when the house is on fire (Authoritarianism) they tell you to "trust the system to fix this." Hope for best, prepare for worst
People aren’t getting it. It’s now or never that we fight back. The rules have changed.
She lost the argument when she said "Congress should be working." Has she been asleep the last ten years?
Wait — Nina Turner saying we have to have “bipartisan legislation” on this right now? Did someone hack her account? I’m gonna start tracking how many “wtf?”s I have in one day
Wow!! Yeah. And congress should be working on taxing the 1%. How'd that go?
1) Who TF is she & why does she matter 2) She is either being obtuse or disengenuous, both of which are very unattractive 3) Bipartisan requires 2 cooperative parties & anyone who calls repubs cooperative is a damn fool 4) We must do whatever is necessary to keep our democracy & make it pretty later
Apparently she's been asleep since Little Johnson became Little Speaker.
"Guys, hear me out, have you tried having a polite debate with Nazis?" - Nina, probably
In this case both Nina and Truth teller are both 💯 correct. Desperate time call for desperate measures that usually lead to unintended consequences. We need to be ready to deal with them when the come
Can't primary her, but we can certainly ignore her.
TRUMP'S CONGRESS WILL DO NOTHING!
Agreed. Establishment politics will not work anymore.
Ah, Polyannina. I too remember fondly the days of bipartisan legislation, but also the federal bill to stop gerrymandering that went nowhere because of guess who.
What that fool Nina Turningpoint is saying is "give the Nazis what they want" No thanks to fools like Nina, Cenk and Ana who gladly let Trump and the Nazi Republican Party get into full power
I understand Nina's point, but you have to be really naive or plainly stupid if you think Congress will work in a bipartisan way to stop gerrymandering.
A decade ago, NY voters passed amendment to draw districts by independent committee. I voted for it, but I did worry about states that gerrymander. I hoped they would also stop. TX shows me how naive I was. We can’t give control of Congress by gerrymander in red states and non-gerrymander in blue
Also I remember back in 2021 Dems put forth For The People Act which would have made independent districts nationwide. Republicans blocked it. It is naive to think GOP will be on board, when they are literally in the act right now of re-gerrymandering states they already gerrymandered
The absolute ridiculousness of people that want to think they’re some kind of expert is astounding! What people like this show me is they are in any pocket that will make them feel relevant. It’s the GOP for ole Nina.
When people yell "Dems do something!!" And now we have someone standing up (which is leading towards other Dems doing things btw) The response is: "naw not like that" or "not him". This is one of the reasons why Dems feel like they're fucked no matter what they do.
Let me also be clear here, I have a HUGE problem with their inactivity, and we should criticize that. However, we should support that they're fighting back. We can deal with the nuance of being 100% fair when democracy isn't being eroded.
I had to go look her up because I couldn't believe any real person would have such an idiotic take on this attempted Nazi takeover.
This is a result of immaturity and short-term thinking. Perfect is the enemy of good.
Blocked her
There is no partisan option. There’s only Republican submission to Trump’s will. She’s naïve to think just Democrats alone can accomplish this without Republican support.
Congress "should" have done a lot of things but "should" isn't going to do a goddamn thing anymore. You can wish in one hand and shit in the other and tell me which one fills up faster.
youtu.be/zvjcJsy51oc?...
Another Dem bringing a wet noodle to a gunfight. Fuck that!
You mean that's a real person and not a bot saying that? Sorry, never heard of her.
She sounds like an msnbc liberal with that take
lol Nina. Been there, tried that. Remember Joe Manchin torpedoing that? Think Fetterman wouldn’t do the same damn thing now? We’re in a fucking war now. No time to be nice.
How can @ninaturner.bsky.social be this obtuse and naive? Has she met the 119th Congress? This is the problem with the dems. No fight, no strategy, no will. Just keep fighting with each other inside your own party. Thats always the winning ticket! 🙄 So Nina wants to let the slide to fascism continue
(She's not a Dem. She's an anti-Dem)
Trump is at war with the citizens of the US., destroying democracy and the rule of law. Unless we fight fire with fire, we will lose the country to fascism. Resistance is not futile.
Nina is a purity progressive 😉. I’m a realist more afraid of never seeing us regain stolen equality.
THAT LEGISLATION DIDN'T PASS BECAUSE REPUBLICANS HOLD THE MAJORITY, SEE HOW IT WORKS, NINA?
How fukking stupid is she? Congress is run by the Republican's only. They are going to help themselves only. She needs to STFU
Which is run by DT. They don’t act without his blessing and instruction.
People who talk that way are too centered in their privilege. I understand she isn't privileged in the same way a White person is, but she is privileged with power and I'm sure more wealth than most Americans. We need working class in congress. If only they made it affordable to run as a poor person
Yup. Brain worms. Anything short of a left jab and an overhand right in response to the GOP’s punches below the belt is conceding the fight to cheaters.
Bipartisan ??? What a fucking idiot ... 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I got talking points like that from one of my followers, too. I laughed as well.
Who?
They live in a fantasy world where Republican legislatures can be pressured by their constituents to back popular policy Ignores the fact that the minority against these policies tends to be the Republican base and that the base doesn't punish their reps for policy even when that isn't the case
But they're NOT!
I’m sure Nina is devastated 🥱
Isn’t that useless.
I agree. It's time to stop standing by while the right ignores rules! There is no bipartisanship in this current administration of retribution.
Most of us have been done with Nina Turner since she first appeared.
And people criticize when I say nope to politicians who supported Nina. I don’t forgive or forget.
pretty stupid or dense.
Oh god, so naive (I want to say stupid) that I’m embarrassed for her
Fortunately, Nina ‘Congress should work on bipartisan legislature’ has no power. Eggheads like her are a main reason for the erosion of democracy, indeed.
What’s Nina been smoking - MAGA weed?
Taking the high road would only work if the other side had morals. There are no more bipartisan issues. It's either fight back with every tool or be the Weimer Republic

It might feel good to defend yourself from a slasher. But violence is never the answer. The final girl is just as bad. But you don't have a choice when a slasher breaks into the house. There is always a choice! They should work with the slasher to get the HOA to address it.
Clearly, she hasn't a clue. The Republicans have no reason, and every reason not to work with Democrats.
She has to go go! #FirewithFire
What took you so long?
Bipartisan solution? lololol Since when did Tina turn into the establishment? I guess it depends on who is in office.
She is the second coming of Klandace Owens
Another establishment type who's out of touch with reality
Reciprocity is very close to the definition of fairness, albeit, flourishing the big stick
Dear Nina, Yes, and Santa Claus should be real too.
I have doubts that it’s naivety so much as “That’s her job now” but it really doesn’t matter as both mean nobody should be listening to her.
She’s naive and you’re hyperbolic. Did you ever ask yourself why the republicans haven’t done this before? It’s not free. They have to decrease the margins in safe districts to swing some blue districts. That makes some red incumbents vulnerable during blue waves. Eternal loss of the House? No.
Nina Turner has not been alive enough to have heard Lee Atwater, Ralph Reed, Jerry Falwell, and Newt Gingrich lay out their plan of anti-abortion politics to smuggle in resegregation and voter suppression. I was. (Heck, I went to a whites-only segregated school.) The GOP wants power, not sharing.
I wonder if anyone has checked out whether she is paid for what she says. When ppl have said similar things in the past, it was found out that they were paid for it. E.g. Manchin & Sinema were paid by GOP donors. Lots of supposedly liberal influencers were found to be paid by Russia etc.
This is like centrist apoolgia on Ukraine. "If you just negotiate, and maybe give away some land, the war will end." It is legal to gerrymander according to the Supreme Court. This will end the second the GOP stops doing it (like the war will end when Russia leaves). Centrism always aids the right
Does Turner realize that Trump passed the Texas maps to Abbott and that Trump will veto any "bipartisan" legislation? A gerrymander can't be overcome at the ballot box or with Roberts' SCOTUS.
Bipartisan?! Ma’am, who are these GOP you have imagined have any since of d century that you can work with? Oof, this is a problem.
**sense of decency
Congress doesn’t exist in this regime. We’re trying to remedy that
Games theory. Your roommate drinks your milk, but never buys any. You've asked them to pitch in. They laugh. Do you keep buying milk to "save milkocracy"? Is the burden of preserving the milk supply all on you forever? Or what do you do?

I❤️ @theyoungturks.bsky.social
She refuses to engage with her own supporters in terms other than whatever the fuck wedge she's trying to drive at a given time. The republic is fucking dead and honestly it's because of optics-only liberals like Uygur and Turner. I will now prove it mathematically (1/2) short 🧵
🧵 (2/2) Constitution provides for banning a candidate from office under section 3 of the 14th amdmt and orders that only by a 2/3 vote of Congress could such disability be removed. Congress could vote to save the republic today if they wanted to, but Nina doesn't support THAT kind of bipartisan.
I don't know who Nina Turner is, but this take is enough for me to know for certain, that she is an imbecile.
I can understand wanting to play by the rules bc it seems like the right thing to do and if these were normal times or if Republicans weren't such arseholes then certainly take the high road, but there not normal times. We have someone with a narcissistic personality disorder in the presidency._
Cultists in Control of the House, Senate, DoJ, and the Supreme Court, so no this is not the time to play nice!
Repubs are counting on our in fighting.
Pathetic and tone deaf. Count me in for mutual destruction! IDGAF
she's disgusting and stupid...vile woman
The fact anyone saw how Nina has acted over the past decade and thought she was someone who was serious had serious beer goggles on
There was a bill to fix this and not a single Republican supported. Yeah gerrymandering to counter there's sucks, but the alternative is to just let them make all the decisions and they will be no fixing it
Bipartisan? In what universe?
Nina Turner is living in an effing fantasy land. She's totally disconnected from reality. Her time on any stage, national or otherwise, needs to be over.
“Should” lol
Appeasement never works.
Lol sweet, naive summer child @ninaturner.bsky.social.
Has anyone told Fool Nina that DEMs introduced legislation banning mid-decade redistricting and that exactly ZERO RepubliCons voted for it?
This Nina person is clearly several fries short of a Happy Meal™.
It is almost like she is helping the MAGA here.
I’ve been convinced since 2016 she’s playing for the other team.
Nina plays for only one team--Team Nina. One player/one goal. Team motto--LOOK AT ME!!
Not almost, it’s exactly like that.
The belief by some that bipartisanship with current republicans can be achieved is going to ruin a lot of lives
There is no such thing as bipartisan even when it’s prancing around as such and spoken from lips of deceit the receipts proof the opposite if she doesn’t see that she’s delusional for sure
I agree, the gloves have to come off and we need different methods because for 20+ yrs or more the “high road “ has failed. And the only way to pass progressive legislation, crack down on price gouging , healthcare etc only goes through by flipping blue.
Any Dem who talks about bipartisanship in Congress should be ousted immediately. No use for cowards.
fortunately she's not in Congress. she's not anything except an "influencer" at this point. small mercies.
Not seeing this anywhere on her account. Can you please provide a link as a source just so people can verify? Sad if she did state this.
Apparently @ninaturner.bsky.social is a complacent, short-sighted coward.
The Young Turks can fuck right off! I gave up on them years ago.
Nina has her head up her ass on this one. Bipartisan legislation when GOP has ZERO interest in fair districts or fair elections. They know they can only win, maybe, if they cheat like motherfuckers. They know they lose a fair election 99 times out of 100. Hence the cheating.
I blocked that account long ago. I have zero use for her shit.
Democrats put out a national anti gerrymandering bill. It got killed, not ONE Republican would vote for it. Filibustered and dead in the Senate.
Yup. I remember. It was For The People Act in 2021. It required ALL states use independent committees to draw congressional districts
Opportunist Nins Turner is all about Nina Turner !
In 2021, Dems introduced “For the People Act” which required all states nationwide use independent committees to draw congressional districts. Republicans blocked it. What makes anyone think Republicans will be on board now, when gerrymandering is only way GOP can steal control???
Should…big, big word.
Maybe Nina can write some strongly worded letters…
Unfortunately she isn't alone in her delusions. I see similar nonsense on here every day.
Nina's response is pure garbage. Taking the high road is what got us into this mess in the first place. If you never punch the bully, you'll keep being bullied. So she wants the GOP to cheat and the dems to just keep playing by the rules? Fuck that and fuck her.
The neoliberals will take power, and they will push the US to the right wing and fascism again. Know why? It's what the ultrarich want, and they don't want anyone voting against them.
These Pollyanna idiots will kill democracy and us all.
“Good faith democrats need to be better and do better! Now go strike a deal with the Nazi’s!!”
Ohh that’s adorable Nina things congress will just fix something. It’s like she hasn’t watched any news for 30 years
Good-bye, Nina! Let us know when you wake up to reality.
Two options here...too stupid or too corrupt for the truth!
I totally agree. I saw her first post and immediately blocked her. She is ignorant and/or naive.
