Lovely comment from Clyburn.

Biden is more sympathetic to the woke left than I am. I want a broad channel for public conversation and behaviour. One that permits people to be different. So yes to people who want unconventional relationships and also yes to people who espouse ideas that seem outmoded even if I disagree with them; and no to oversensitive and manipulative people making us all tread on tightropes and no to actually wicked people doing very bad things.

That doesn't mean I have to listen to them here. But that people can make space somewhere for their weird opinions and wacky behaviours is fine by me, so long as they do little damage to others.

In a nutshell, in part:

Opinion: Nina Turner’s loss in Ohio means Biden doesn’t need to keep caving to the left

Opinion by James Hohmann
Yesterday at 5:03 p.m. EDT

.....

Turner lost by 5.7 percentage points, even though she outraised Brown $5.6 million to $2.4 million. She released an internal poll from May that showed her leading by 35 points.

A turning point came in June when Turner appeared alongside Killer Mike as the rapper said it was “incredibly stupid” for House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) to endorse Biden before the South Carolina primary. “The only thing you get is a federal holiday and nothing tangible out of it,” he said, referring to Juneteenth. Turner appeared to agree.

That viral moment helped spur Clyburn, the No. 3 in Democratic leadership, and leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to come out strongly against Turner. “I just kind of decided if I’m going to be stupid, might as well be stupid,” Clyburn told the State newspaper last week.
