    Interviewing a shitty Republican is sus, but nothing unforgivable. Her reaction though is what's fucking revealing. Holy shit. Straight up shitlib line of attack. Like, Neera Tanden level.

    Daou really must have struck a nerve.

      Daou was like king of donut twitter, he posted so much negative shit about her personally. He cheered when they fucked her over by not letting her inside the DNC in 2016.

      He has absolutely no right to attack her over anything, no matter how sus. Let other people handle that.

          Normal libs absolutely do, not someone who is as powerful as directly influential to the efforts against Bernie in 2016 (which still remained as our strongest chance) as Daou. If Neera Tanden became a leftist tomorrow I would say the same shit about her criticizing anyone already established in any sort of left wing capacity.

    2016 me would never believe it if told that in 2020, Peter Daou would be on the correct side in an argument against Nina Turner.

    before long she'll be back to attacking public education and unions.

    https://theintercept.com/2019/09/30/nina-turner-cleveland-ohio-education-reform/

    “It doesn’t matter whether our young people go to public, private, religious schools — it is all about choice, and it is all about high quality,” Turner said in her award acceptance speech. “We should demand high-quality schools, no matter how they come. … And to the parents, I want to salute you, because choice is something that God almighty has given us as human beings.”

    🤢

      Charter schools are tremendously popular among inner city black people in places like Cleveland, their public schools are garbage and it would be near impossible for them to be worse. The primary reason people are anti charter schools is because it hurts teachers unions.

        She tried to tear up the teachers contract and extort them into signing a new one.

        That's fucking disgusting and there is no excuse for it.

          Im not going to excuse that, and was just trying to provide context as to why someone would support these things.

          This also said Cleveland politics are fucked, the city is in insane debt with property taxes among the highest in the country in terms of percentage of assessed value. That means anything that requires new funding absolutely will lead to tons of people being evicted from their home. I don't know about this contract in particular, but there are a lot of things in the city that are desperate for more money that don't get it for the above reason.

        I teach at a public charter school. We're unionized. We have a lot of staff input in how stuff gets run, and we work our asses off trying to help our minority and Title 1 kids. It's a lottery entry, and we strive to make our lottery known in local poor and foreign language communities. So... yeah, for whatever that's worth, I'm trying to make the best of it. The privilege gap grows with covid though.

    she was a rising star for the left and they couldn't beat her with identity politics, so the establishment got scared must have made an offer she couldn't refuse

    RIP Nina, enjoy the money

      She sold her podcast to clear channel. She has zero control over the advertisers.

      If you want to criticize her for selling her podcast then sure, especially to clear channel, but this is a mostly bad take to say Goldman even knew it was her podcast in particular.

        Goldman Sachs isn't exactly a common podcast sponsor that that excuse could work for. It's not about why she'd accept the money (even though it is) it's about why they would want to sponsor her in the first place.

          Nah Goldman advertises on radio with clear channel a bunch. Clear channel is mostly like conservative talk radio.

        I guess we'd have to listen to clarify, and I for one am not going to (if only because listening to another political podcast will drive me up the wall)

    Honestly heartbroken if Nina has given up the fight. How quickly desperation and disillusionment can set in. Remember to stick together folks, we have many enemies and despair is one of the most insidious.
