Nina Turner, former co-chair for the presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., wants progressives “go crazy” and turn up the heat on the Democratic Party and maybe mimic how the Tea Party previously defied Republicans.

“What I would love to see the progressive movement do — from the progressive members of the House of Representatives and progressive members who may be in the Senate — is to go crazy,” she said during an interview published on Thursday.

Turner told Jordan Chariton, CEO of the liberal outlet Status Coup, that Democrats might want to “take a page out of the Tea Party’s book … and hold the Democratic Party hostage until they do something on behalf of the American people.” […]

“Well, we know that COVID-19 has blown the roof off of all of the rhetoric and the lies, and the illusion — that health care tied to one’s job does not work. [Thirty-three] million people unemployed and climbing on top of the almost 90 million people who are already underinsured and uninsured. And guess what? They don’t have health care,” she said. …

This evil thing compares left-wing thugs “go(ing) crazy” to the Tea Party, srsly?

[BenLurkin]

Don’t recall Taxed Enough Already being anything other than rational.

[SaxxonWoods]

Too late, they’ve been crazy all along. This is the sound of desperation from someone who knows defeat is at hand.

I’m only “uninsured” now because of the last time Dems went crazy with healthcare

[a fool in paradise]

They don’t have healthcare? Don’t they buy a policy as Obama mandated?

[smvoice]

The Tea Party did NOT "go crazy". That being said I do hope the progressives go bat $h* t CRAZY. I do. 🍿

Too late, they’ve been crazy all along.

Yes, but maybe they can get worse. 😁

Bunch of chicken livers. I double-dog dare you.

[MtnClimber]

If they go crazy on the regular (corrupt) democRATs I guess I am OK with that.

She sounds like the perfect choice for Joe’s VP.

They have actually pitched it on the Hill TV.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Is this why the rats conspired with the red Chinese to destroy the US economy? Because they thought it would lead to commie health care?

Rat heads need to roll after this is over. Won’t happen, I know, but that’s the only rational response.

Sanders had a complete lack of consideration for his committed, core supporters when abruptly withdrew and then endorsed the creepy, corrupt demented Biden. It reflects his true character. His supporters after being stunned have to come to some ugly conclusions.

The Socialist left hijacked the Democrat Party starting in 1896 with the purge of the Cleveland Bourbon center-right. They’ve just been going further and further into the Twilight Zone for the past 124 years.

[SunkenCiv]

That's not going to work -- they can't go crazy, the already are and have been crazy.

Woodrow Wilson was a Bourbon Democrat, and yet is infamous for writing Socialism and Democracy, which is a treatise on seizing governmental power for the purpose of imposing tyranny.

Nina...

[Olog-hai]

Aside from the agony that face engenders, look at all that red; even more than at a CCP parade.

[shanover]

We got your crazy!....They have no idea what crazy is....We can light things up and show them.
