    Isn’t Nina a little sus as well? Far superior to the other people running, obviously, but we already know that.

      She was a pretty boring centrist Democrat until 2015 (with bad takes on charter schools), when she abruptly switched to Bernie and went nuclear against Hillary and the Democrats in the primary. She then stuck with Bernie in 2020, co-chaired his campaign, picked tons of fights with establishment Dems, and called voting for Joe Biden "eating half a bowl of shit" right before the 2020 election (as opposed to Trump, who was the whole bowl).

      Her pre-2015 record is sus but honestly she's done so much work for the left since then it'd be foolish not to at least give her a shot. If she's a grifter, then hats off to her. She sure fooled me.

        I agree with your sentiment. Even if she is a grifter, that doesn’t mean she will necessarily hurt the left

      Unfortunately, yeah. Ive heard she's got family members that are cops so thats obviously not ideal

      Anecdotally, I follow her on Instagram, and one day I got an alert that she was live streaming. I really admired her during Bernie's last run, and so i checked it out. There were about 50 other people watching Nina and some man walking on a sidewalk and talking. I heard the guy say something like, 'we dont have a problem with capitalism, just predatory capitalism' to which Nina replied, 'yes exactly, we dont want predatory capitalism. ' And with that all my opinions of her came into question! Quite a few people on the stream called it out but to my knowledge Nina did not acknowledge it.
