In this week’s quarantine episode of our 'Useful Idiots' podcast, hosts mtaibbi and kthalps are joined by former Ohio State senator and Bernie Sanders surrogate Nina Turner
Our hosts break down Trump’s press conferences, his tweets, and the effects it is having on lockdown protests around the country. “I understand where people are coming from. At some point you do have to have a discussion about when do we just start dealing with this as a fact of life, right? We deal with all sorts of other issues that are fatal and are killing us, and we all start dying from birth, and that’s all part of the reality.
Nina Turner discusses the future of Bernie’s movement, and the current anxiety and despair among its people. “It’s OK to have a moment of grief.… I want to acknowledge that straight up,” she says. “We have to plan for the future. And so must find promise in the problem. The same issues, or value proposition if you will, or vision that the progressive left was fighting for is still true today. It was true two weeks ago, two months ago, two years ago, four years ago.
She speaks on the need for Medicare for All, college for all, a Green New Deal, and the progressive policy positions of the Sanders campaign, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It is cruel and immoral for that Congress, be they Democrat or Republican, not to stand up unequivocally and say right now, in this movement, we’re going to give the people what they need, instead of constantly giving the billionaire class what they need.
