I’m so grateful for your courage, perseverance, and brilliant articulation, Marianne. I voted for you (and have friends that voted for you) in the MA primary. Blessings to you and on all you do to impact the larger conversation. 🙏💕✨

Truth can be hard to hear, especially when it’s hard to find enough places to speak it. Thanks for your brilliant truth.

I admire courage and fortitude. I’m convinced as long as OUR government keeps collecting taxes out of our paychecks nothing will change. Congress does not represent me. The president does not represent me. Your beliefs and ideals represent me and I wish there was a primary. But let’s face it… Don’t you think part of the reason there’s not a primary is because of Joe’s not so clear speech and other ramblings? We still live in a patriarchal nation. And your sharp thought and presents would make him look even weaker. No one’s ready for that.

"That’s why for over a year I’ve decried the unwillingness of the Democratic National Committee to allow a real primary to take place, letting voters decide who the 2024 Democratic nominee for President would be." - This pissed me off too - I wanted a primary where the people decided who WE wanted to support - not having that decision made by the DNC and then getting pressure to support their candidate. How is that a Democratic process?

It's not a Democratic process. The Democratic Party is in name only. You have every right to be disappointed; we all are. We see them for what they truly are now.....

"People are in too many cases more disgusted by the shenanigans of the Democratic party than by the authoritarian threat posed by Donald Trump." TRUTH!! Because those shenanigans are ALSO the signs of an authoritarian leadership. Trump may or may not be blowing hot air; but Biden is already authoritarian, as evidenced by what he did - and continues to do - to you and everyone else running against him. I never thought I'd see the day when I actually felt some sympathy for Trump. But here we are.

Marianne, I've been supporting your campaign for several months. I'm one of those volunteers you mentioned, and I'm honored to be. If you don't get delegates, I hope you will consider endorsing Kennedy. He seems to be the last hope left for us to escape the clutches of The Machine.

Still hoping for those delegates and hearing you speak to the DNC in August!! But Kennedy - despite his woeful position on Israel - needs all the help he can get, to help us get rid of those two clowns, and end the divide. To restore the environment, and take America back from the corporate capture we are currently subjects of.

Thank you for being you, Marianne. 💖 Great post!!

I just attended your gathering in Eugene Oregon. I worked on your campaign in 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I love the idea of Department of Peace. You said that you are for ceasefire in Middle East; but support funding for Ukraine. How do you explain that discrepancy? Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have died and more will if war is prolonged.

Also interested in why you think that we are supporting democracy in Ukraine when Zelensky canceled elections and said there would be none

I support a cease-fire along with release of the hostages and a two states solution. I think the military actions occurring now in the south of Gaza are ultimately creating more Hamas, transgressing against our humanitarian values, and hurting the chances for a peaceful future for both Israelis and Palestinians

As far as Ukraine is concerned, refusal to help them will amount to what is essentially annexation by Russia. While you’re right that almost 500,000 Ukrainians have died already, that annexation would be even more dangerous not only for them but also for the rest of Europe

I agree about the importance of labor and other outside actions, but thinking that fundamental change can come about without electoral change as well is silly. Ask the Iraqis how important our elections are. And the only place where “political demands” make any difference is at the ballot box. I agree with a lot of what you said the complications of actually running are a bit different than you seem to think

And here we are again. :)

Interesting - and a great idea - you talking about withholding labor on a massive scale. Ironically, my boss just said something to this effect recently. And to do so would of course impact her first, before it would hit the Establishment. But that is an exceptional tactic, i agree. If we could get everyone to just stop working, until demands were met....wow.

(Ha! Especially if Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon stopped working! Where would Biden get his next 93 billion dollars worth of missiles??)
