President Joe Biden's headaches:
- The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
- Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a Democratic Socialist.
- The so-called progressive members of The Squad.
- The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
- Americans who refuse to get vaccinated or follow CDC mandates.
- Washed Up 45
- Fox's relentless talk about his son Hunter Biden.
In a final summary of the race between Shontel Brown and Nina Turner, HuffPost writer continues to run on this notion that Turner was outspent by "dark money." This summary totally misses the point and it also gives an excuse to why Turner was rejected by the voters.
1. Nina Turner was not an angry Black woman.
Turner was the woman who wanted to appeal to white leftists. People in Cleveland, Ohio do not care about Medicare for All or defund the police. They don't care about taxing billionaires, Green New Deal and activism. Turner's rallies and events were catered to white people.
Turner was running in a Black district. They know who she is. She is a Black woman. Brown is a Black woman. Turner did not (and repeat), did not understand the district.
Remember her "souls to the polls." The march to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections was met with a response for the poll workers. If you're not here to vote, please stay away 100 feet.
What they care about is jobs, blight, bringing down crime, fixing roads, building the Opportunity Corridor, ending food deserts and improving the RTA rapid rail corridor.
2. Nina Turner was too aligned with Bernie Sanders.
Turner is most notable for saying that voting for Joe Biden is like eating half a bowl of shit.
The remarks will go down in history as one of the dumbest things said by a politician. Turner tried to distance herself from the comments. Turner's failure to endorse Hillary Clinton and embrace Jill Stein was a big mistake.
Turner is one of the most visible faces of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) two failed presidential campaign.
Sanders' and his supporters are insufferable. They are similar to the Washed Up 45 and his MAGA crowds. They are emboldened on conspiracies, baseless accusations and ad hominem attacks.

| Nina Turner was tone deaf. |
Then when they lose, they refuse to accept defeat, they blame other entities and refuse to understand why they lost.
Turner lost because she embraced Sanders who lost to Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020.
3. Shontel Brown ran a better ground game.
All politics is local.
For all the conspiracies about Brown having applause tracks to allegations she engages in "pay for play," Turner was hoping to tarnish her opponent as a part of the establishment.
The junk food media continued to called Brown, a local politician who engages with the people in Cuyahoga County, the establishment. They called Turner, a former elected leader, a prominent voice on television, radio and internet, and a person with more name recognition, the insurgent.
How the hell can Turner blow a 35 point lead?
She never had one.
Brown was engaging with constituents. She was hosting BBQs, block parties and engaging in the Black church. She was doing the things that Marcia Fudge was doing. She didn't need to have Killer Mike, Cornel West, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Cenk Uygur to make appearances on behalf of her.
Brown earned the endorsements of former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC). Turner burned bridges with Clinton and allowed Killer Mike called a civil rights leader and longtime kingmaker "stupid."
Folks know who Turner is. She underestimated who she was dealing with from the jump. As soon as Brown was picking up momentum on social media, Turner ran that bullshit Tulchin poll saying she was up by 35 points. Then her troll army decided to label Brown, transphobic, corrupt and a corportist who embraces dark money. They even had the audacity to say that Republicans wanted her to win.
Black constituents and Democrats knew Brown. She wasn't in the race trying to make noise. Her job was to serve the constituents and help Biden throughout his presidency.
Republicans rather see Turner in the House becoming a distraction. Already Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) became a distraction when she basically sloganed "defund the police" into the conversation when she was criticized for having private security. The comments became fodder for culture warriors within the Republican Party.
The Republicans already trying to turn the page on the insurrection are now focused on conspiracy theories about Biden's health, fearmongering about the Taliban reclaiming Afghanistan, bitching about inflation while not engaging in helping American families struggling, trying to push restrictions on voting and mask mandates and allowing more racism and firearms in the public spaces.
They need folks like Bush, Ocasio-Cortez and Turner in the spotlight. They need the noise to scare white voters and win back Congress.
4. Turner was a crappy candidate.
Turner ran a terrible campaign. Tone deaf. Too white. Too polarizing.
Turner lost her last campaign in a landslide. She was defeated in the race for Ohio Secretary of State by the guy who would eventually become lieutenant governor of Ohio.
Turner can blame "evil money" all she wants. Cleveland was not into her. If it makes her feel better, she won the areas around the University of Akron which led to her winning Summit County barely.
Daniel Marans was a crappy journalist from the start. His "bro" journalism was disgraceful.
He literally was stanning for Turner.
Brown is now targeted by the far-left as a "puppet" of corporate donors. It is dog whistle politics from the jump. They criticized Black leaders who backed Brown as being "stupid."
Fuck around and they found out. White leftists are not allies of the Black community.
