I don’t know why you don’t have a ticket but that’s one of the saddest things I’ve heard over the last many many months. You deserve to be there and your voice deserves to be heard. That’s the DMC machine that is corrupt. That’s a DNC problem… You’re not the problem! They are afraid of your solutions!

You're absolutely correct! I was once a delegate at the DNC and it's not the united front you see on camera. Behind the scenes is disagreement and dissension but that's not what the DNC nor the media want the public to see. And when there, there's no room for debate; the candidate is decided upon before doors even open and the convention begins. I imagine the RNC is much the same.

Great interview! Marianne is so on point, so articulate. I loved what she had to say and the way she said it!

Answers can never be found on one or the other side of a polarized conflict. It is the transcendent function (Jung) that grants us access to an integrated unifying solution.

But to get there, those committed to polarization (even via unconscious trauma) must find the willingness in their hearts and minds to step well beyond their limited views in order to see a bigger picture - one in care of the whole. This is where Grace happens.

Israel is not its government, very much like the USA is not its government. I would not like to be associated with Trump. However the narrative about Israel spills over to the Jewish people there and abroad. The goal of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and other countries is the complete destruction of Israel, it has been for decades and continues to be. This can't be minimized, ignored, treated as immaterial in today's world. Maybe the terrorists in Palestine, Lebanon and other countries cannot be defeated by the Israeli Defense forces, so what is the answer? Pull back, cease fire, give up, try negotiations, beg for peace, ask for forgiveness for existing?. My extended family is in the ashes of the concentration camps, in mass graves in Poland or just disappeared so I have a different view of how critical the survival of the homeland is. If only its rotten government could be made to be something else. The Israeli people can't stand Netanyahu and his cronies, but a true democracy is not the place to overthrow the government, any more than we can do it in the US. Israelis and all of us in the diaspora have to just endure the hate, understand the political manipulation during elections, rely on biased news reports and the endless lies of the media. Apparently nobody can force anyone to do anything very much like the DNC disregarding anyone they want to push away. Their agenda is fixed and our complaints go in the shredder. There's a war in Ukraine, civil unrest in the Sudan, Syria is in shambles, Haiti is destroying itself and femicide goes unchecked. Not so important as defeating felon or blaming Israel for "genocide and apartheid". I still wear my MW for president shirt, because dreams can be sustaining when we are sad.

That you were not allowed into the DNC is telling, Marianne. You represent a departure from politics as usual and this scares the establishment. A famous quote by Albert Einstein comes to mind that we cannot solve problems with the same thinking that created the problem. Your presence is being felt. The more your light shines, the more it disturbs the status quo. That is the nature of change and we NEED it. Changes of great magnitude are slow to progress. Like a large cruise ship turning around, it does not feel like it's turning around when it actually is. You weren't allowed into the DNC because your presence and passion for country and people is being felt. This is a good thing...a very good thing. ❤️‍🔥

Your being out of the studio gave a clear message that you are out operating in connection with the real world. Who needs to be in a fake bubble?

Marianne, you are awesome. You couldn't be better. You are so real, so present, so comfortable delivering intelligent answers to a good interviewer about a critical issue. Get her enrolled in getting the interview to Kamala? How I long for Kamala to tune into you. You would change the world.

Someone with clout, do something to hook these two up!!!

Kamala could learn a lot from Maryanne, that’s for sure. Maybe Tim Walz could help get them both together.

I just hope the media's " pick a side" narrative is not adopted as its a war slogan. This is another media show that we must not believe, they( Washington) want their world war 3 .

We must have peace in our hearts.

We know how much the corporates like profiting off the perpetual invasions, borrowing for wars.

Like with individual humans its hard to get past the past. In human history there has been so much unconsciousness( humans making others into enemies , hurting and killing ) . And how we can heal from it is by being present now.

You know why Kyra Phillips of ABC is speaking from the convention hall, while I’m outside? Because the DNC wouldn’t give me a ticket to come in! I know, I know, it’s so ridiculous.

Yes, it is ridiculous that you, of all people, should be denied entrance to the DNC convention when you have always fought for what is right for the USA and it's citizens.

God bless you and all those you love now and forever.

Yes, Stephan Hiltner, and to make my brain explode even more, I just saw that Christian Nationalist Charlie Kirk got a ticket! What planet am I on?!

Ms. Williamson...I think that you letting everyone know that you were not allowed into the convention without an explanation...may turn many of your followers against the Democratic party...and it worries me that they will not vote at all...I'm sure they must be too smart to not vote republican...but we need their votes for the "light" to win over the "darkness"...please explain to your followers about what happened and continue to lead them to the LIGHT...please.

As always, 🙏 ❤ 🙏 for Marianne.

Then Live. And. Let. Live.

How can I live actively and fully in my own life while cultivating my soul and being responsibly available to my Democracy?

These are the questions I learned to ask myself after reading Marianne's political books, especially the first one.

All we can do about this is pray, and notice the HUGE number of people who are FULLY engaged in this election, and support them.with money, prayers, and our hope for the future.

You Tube has a Dem Convention link that allows ppl to see the entire convention w no press commentary or commercials.

I watched that last night and enjoyed myself thoroughly. I'm making good choices one night at a time.
