@marwilliamson from the article: "Turner’s defeat feels like it might be the final nail in the coffin, an end to any illusion that corporatist Democratic leadership will allow a progressive to get anywhere near the seat of power."

This is honestly a dumb take when Nina lost by 5 despite extreme easily exploited negative baggage. How about running a progressive who didn't spend the last five years viciously attacking the party she's running to be the nominee of?

Democrats now have to line up in some kind of creepy loyalty to Biden the way Republicans line up in creepy loyalty to Trump? Democracy means we don’t always agree! A disagreement is not an attack. She did not “spend 5 years viciously attacking the party.”

Turner, in fact, spent most of the last 5 years trying to elect Democrats. That's what Our Revolution is all about--building a downballot bench of future progressives.

Do you have to? No. But do you get to do that and win an election among Democratic primary voters? Not likely. That's a thing you don't get to have both ways.
