Not at all, and I see where the disconnect is for you.you've seen several people say it because it matters to low information voters
on attack ads: 1) if it turns off "peaceable voters" then that should hurt both people doing them, making it a wash. i would even assume that undecideds and liberals hate attack ads more than progressives and green party types, so it might be a slight benefit to turner to let it be as rough as possible. i could be wrong.
establishment people have at least one narrative; that of continuity/steady hand/familiarity, trustworthiness, etc. if i lived in that media market, i could probably suss out even more of a narrative for brown
What Does Progressive Darling Nina Turner’s Loss in Ohio Say About the Democratic Party?
"Shontel Brown—the chosen candidate of the caucus—would honor “the rich history” of the group, not be someone who fights against it while “trying to make a name for themselves,” CBC Chairwoman Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) said while campaigning in the district Saturday with other top Black lawmakers. Brown wouldn’t be “a single solitary know-it-all,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.). She wouldn’t “come in and try to break up that unity,” Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) added."
a non-issues voter will make a narrative out of this...
why was the turnout so low?Not at all, and I see where the disconnect is for you.
Attack ads don't usually work, but when they run with a specific narrative, or align with a certain sentiment, then they succeed. For low-information voters, particularly the suburban and middle-class kind - they've been fed a certain narrative that aligned with Brown's campaign. And the narrative long predates this race.
The establishment narrative works on its popular demographic, but does nothing for the disinterested. - which was heavily in Nina's favor.
The problem here was simply that the turnout for Black urban voters was so low, that even with overwhelming popularity in those communities, she couldn't make up for the large suburban voting blocs
The Rep. and Sen. quotes are just posturing.
Nina Turner has been in office before. Why can't she figure out how to win?What does this have to do with the goofy shyt you asked me before?
Felony disenfranchisement, lack of information about the vote itself (unless you happen to be watching ABC on 5 at 10 AM you didn't hear about), and the community has been fukked for decades - most of the people that live there are largely disinterested in anything electoral.why was the turnout so low?
You think it's because they like Biden or they don't like black women yelling at white men?
