We speak with former Ohio state senator and Bernie Sanders presidential campaign staffer Nina Turner about how the 2024 election has left her and many voters "frustrated" and "exhausted." While she is not endorsing a candidate, she denounces the white supremacist rhetoric of the Trump campaign, which she notes is "as American as apple pie." Turner pushes back on comparisons of the Trump movement to the rise of Nazi Germany, which she argues threaten to whitewash the United States' own anti-democratic history. "The unfulfilled promises of this country, the undealt-with anti-Blackness and other types of racism and bigotry have not been dealt with sufficiently," she explains. "It is us, and we need to deal with it and not push it off on some other nation."
