  1. She spent the past two years advocating for down ballot progressive candidates on her podcast, and interviewing them state by state, issue by issue. Could that be considered one example of building a movement?

  2. That's his defence? Pretty flaccid.

  3. And she pointed out at the end that Al Qaeda is funded by Saudi Arabia.

  4. It would also be a smart move for some of the less visible candidates to stand up for them. It would draw some much needed media coverage not to mention being the right thing to do.

  5.  @MusicfromMarrs  It MIGHT help. I simply don't know. But I know her answer to that. She'd say, "If that political experience was so worthwhile, why are we still in this pickle, unable to pass medicare for all, free college, and living wage." The executive branch is a bit different from the legislative. Possibly that rhetoric could be quite powerful with a presidential microphone.

  6.  @MusicfromMarrs  If you think there's time for a long game. I applaud that positivity. I think Marianne feels their isn't time, and the established politicians (most of them) aren't about to reform their own economic policies. Trump was Trump. The professional records of Marianne and Trump don't even compare. That doesn't mean they have nothing in common though. They both have that ability to reach people emotionally. The key difference I see, is that Marianne created a foundation to feed AIDS patients, while Trump was calling for the death penalty for the Central Park five, just to take 1989 as an example.

  7. There are so many fascinating candidates running this time, a latecomer would have to demonstrate supernatural powers to distract me from witchay woman Marianne Williamson. My concern is what it means that they're polling undeclared candidates, especially since poll rankings are one of the ways a candidate can qualify for the debate stage.

  8. But look at what they were saying up until the recording surfaced. "Difference of perspective. Erosion of trust." Personally I'm glad she recorded it. Without that what evidence would she have had? Wernick wasn't phoning to tell her about a strange dream he'd had. He was phoning to insist on his position and rightly deserved to be taped. I'd have taped simply because he was calling me at home. That's already interference.

  9.  @lostinthefogofwar5774 She's not his lawyer. She's the nation's lawyer and he'd already shown himself to be acting in a way, shall we say, contrary to the interests of the nation.

  10. I'm torn between Jagmeet Singh and Elizabeth May. What are your thoughts?

  11.  @gamingislife3332  why terrible?

  12. Personally I consider Biden and Warren very similar. But my guess is as wild as anyone's.

  13. In the words of Jagmeet, it's a culture of impunity.

  14. Do you remember what changed your mind?

  15.  @lostinthefogofwar5774  If I was a public official, acting in an official capacity, I would expect the possibility of being recorded. A friendship is different, that's personal. If a colleague recorded me at work because they suspected I was doing something illegal, no I wouldn't be happy about it, but I can understand the motives. In government and law, I don't think an expectation of trust is appropriate. Especially with someone like Wernick.

  16. Just my feelings on the matter. I appreciate your discussing it with me.

  17. I hear it's even spread to Holland! 😱

  18. She'd make a great president.

  19. I thought Canadians didn't have a look.

  20. David, I agree that it depends on coverage from the media. I don't want you to discount your own influence in that equation. If we're talking about coalitions with workers, that's actually an area where you could help. I'm not saying that you should, or that you have to, but maybe you could? It's understandable if you're just not feeling it or you don't think she's viable, but I do see The Rational National as one of the channels instituted to push back against the network news monopoly. You're clearly clearly not here just to go along with the corporate narrative. How you choose to push back is, of course, entirely up to you though.

  21. Agreed about Kamala. Enough about Warren. Defend why you think she's progressive!

  22. Her campaign Manager's mother is ill. He said that's why he quit, and he's been continuing to tweet support.

  23. How grass roots is Warren?

  24. That's actually a very good point you have there.

  25. Even if they trashed stamp collecting, they'd be in hot water honestly.

  26. Where are my pearls to clutch dammit? Ugh who bothers.

  27.  @Slayqueenatron  Thanks for that insight. It's interesting to note. She's one of the few characters in political spotlight I've seen being the most consistent also.

  28. She messed with the Grand High Witch Marianne Williamson, and then Williamson sent her an email saying "bless your heart". Girlfriend, it's so on!

  29.  @samcinematics  Hi Sam! Good to see you!

  30.  @MusicfromMarrs  I'm a volunteer. When I saw the Trump era, and the kids in cages, I went through the candidates on the democratic side, looking for someone who had both the magic, and the policies. I came upon Marianne, and for once both my gut, and my common sense were in agreement. I'd actually sworn I was going to sit this election cycle out, but when I saw that Marianne was on the move again, I couldn't hold back. That's just me though. I actually agree that Marianne could do a bit more listening when talking to black people about reparations. However, I want it in the public sphere, and she is willing to bring it there. I have no doubt that her friend Nina Turner is not holding back, if she think Marianne's communication style needs work.

  31.  @DickskinJones666  that's what I'm seeing too.

  32. Where is Ford redirecting these funds to? He's adopting the trickle down theory? Ah I get it. The beer trickles down.

  33. Katie Porter and Marianne Williamson could get a lot done together. I'm a fan of both.

  34.  @marcusowen7944  My favourite bot was the Russian one that said, "She is very dangerous vooman".

  35. She spent the past three years boosting down ballot candidates. Her skill set is more suited to the executive branch though. Good presidents are powerful speakers and she is, they can see the whole picture, and she can, and they need an intuitive grasp of human psychology, and she has that, intuitively and intellectually.

  36.  @TraceyJean  You don't look that old, but okay. That's reasonable reasoning.

  37.  @TraceyJean  Mine's from ten years ago.

  38.  @pancakehouse2900  I was going to say something like that. You beat me to it.

  40. This is actually an improvement on the other videos he did on her though.

  41. Actually the best answer to Swallwell was Marianne's. "Young people can have old ideas."

  42. All of Meghan's reactions are emotional. She just gets angry. For a journalist, it's quite unprofessional. She should just represent, not have a meltdown every time.

  43.  @dynamicworlds1  Okay a bit of a fanciful honouric! 😂

  44. Which party is Teresa Doyle? I love her music, but I recently heard she went into politics.

  45. It's true, we have normalised being awful. Very good point.

  46. Took us long enough eh?

  47. I don't really care about how they framed it. The media did actually show segments of her speech and they were good segments. I think people will be curious enough to check into her.

  48. I remember even before Google bought it, YouTube policy was always a bit random senseless.

  49. Recumbents! 😂

  50. She never had the Venus or the fire. Williamson has it.
