Please show love to Ohio State Rep Nina Turner and other endorsers

[merrily]

Ms. Turner decided that Senator Sanders earned her endorsement. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251799937

As you will recall, New Hampshire State Representative Timothy Smith was, IIRC, the first state or federal Democratic officeholder to endorse Senator Sanders. In answer to questions from facebook users, he said that there was indeed enormous pressure for Democratic politicians to endorse "another candidate." (No doubt the Lincoln Chafee machine struck again!) So, any Democratic officeholder who endorses Senator Sanders deserves love. http://www.democraticunderground.com/128054423

Smith thought showing love to endorsers publicly might make a difference, showing politicians that the public would have their back if they made the choice they were being pressured not to make. So do I.

Show love to Ms. Turner and, if you haven't gotten around to showing love to Smith, please do that as well. And, of course, the co-chairs of the House Progressive Committee, which Bernie founded during his first year in Congress, Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva, who have also endorsed Sanders.

4. I love all the people who have had the courage to endorse Bernie. They knew they would face

pressure which is a shame. But hey, WE face it with the demands we get on a regular basis to declare loyalty to the party. It is a SHAMEFUL anti-democratic practice and I hope as these few Dems have taken the step to follow their own choice, others who are merely going along due to pressure, will follow their lead.

7. Yes They stood up to the pressure. Good for them. Remember when Democrats were democratic?

At least, they seemed so. Maybe I was just more naive and less well informed.

And of course Grivalda and Ellison.

And now Nina Turner.

She is getting some negative comments on her twitter feed from Hillary supporters. But a whole lot more from supporters. And to be fair, some of Hillary's supporters have been very gracious to her, respecting her decision.

9. Kudos to those sending support to Rep. Turner.

smh that some are tweeting negative comments over 1 endorsement from a state rep. Nothing less than every Dem in the country will do! a$$es
