I didn't listen to that state of the whatever speech, they're often just words. I listen to you, I will vote for you. No more voting out of fear, because if I don't support this one, the other one will win. No, there are options, we are not doomed to keep doing the same thing over and over because the time is now. I know why you had to be a Democratic candidate even if the DNC is as broken as everything else, but you follow your goals and not the party line. I like that. My parents didn't survive the Holocaust for me to do anything out fear. With you, I'm filled with hope and the passion of your vision.
MW offers blessings, hope and vision for the majority, even if they still cannot see or understand that she is standing for them in so many essential areas of our lives.
You speak the truth...If Biden wants to win, he should immediately appoint you to oversee his speeches, public appearances, etc...But I doubt he will do that...It seems the political machines are now running the show and it will come down to the lesser of two evils...Meanwhile millions of dollars will be wasted and the world, including the USA will not be one bit better off...Thank you for continuing to deliver the truth...
By offering people genuine hope that their lives can get better, by addressing not only the symptoms of our problems but their root causes, and by calling people to the great cause of creating a new chapter in American history, we can not only beat Trump - We can truly heal the nation. THANKS, MARIANNE FOR STAYING IN THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT. GOD BLESS YOU.
As political speeches go, it was OK. But I strenuously objected to his stance on Israel. Sending bombs to kill people and dropping food aid. Is lunacy. What side are you on Joe? You know the answer of that question.
Joe Biden hasn’t mentioned the $15 an hour minimum wage in the last three years and further he let eight Democratic senators vote against including it in the relief package . Marianne offers a positive vision, and I agree with her 100% that we as Americans expect two of our government. It’s the people us, us, we do all the work, feeding people helping the homeless, giving free dental and medical clinics. All things that the government could be doing for us if they truly represented us. Which they don’t, all of them lie. Mary Ann is a truth teller, along with Cornell West, Jill, Stein, Ralph, Nader, and those who fight for a better country.
Israel has become a polarizing issue for too many and so the solution is more difficult. It is the leadership and support of both Hamas and Netanyahu that is the problem. As usual, and as in the Ukraine, the people want peace the leaders want conflict. Netanyahu will soon be gone through the parliamentary process and democracy in Israel. Unfortunately the Hamas leaders will not leave and pay for their crimes unless the world condemns them and stops glorifying murderers. Sad but true.
I ditto what Jean Knowlton said...DO NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT...You really WOULD be taking votes away from Biden or any other DEMOCRAT who runs. PLEASE stop bashing President Biden...you remind me of Senator Sinema...she was a closet republican...maybe you are too? DO NOT TAKE AWAY BIDEN'S VOTES....PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...the "spiritual" part of you should know better!!!!
By your not recognizing the truth of President Biden's physical and mental condition, and past lack of will to work for the health, well-being or economic security of so many American citizen's who have lost their housing and have trouble feeding their families. What or who will you be giving us and why? I hope you are in a very secure life position financially and not close to retirement.
"Speaking ill of Biden" is in your mind. Marianne is just stating the obvious that we can all see. Including you, evidently.
News flash... BIDEN is doing T's work for him. BIDEN says that T thinks the entire campaign is about himself. Well, DUH!! So does BIDEN!!! So does DNC. So do all the comfortable establishment Dems who defend the indefensible Genocide Joe.
True Suz-an: Biden's new campaign: "I'm on board." As if that applies to the people. Instead, he should say: "You count." But nope--too much ego is not what we need now.
Marianne Williamson really is a very strong courageous woman who is fighting for the the basic needs and well-being of the people of this nation. Speak the truth.
Marianne is doing the work that Biden won't. We need her voice in the Democratic primaries. She is giving everyone a much needed reality check.
Please stop lecturing people who are already so completely turned off by the incrementalism, inaction, and excuses of this administration that they would never consider voting for Biden in a million years. A candidate who actually supports the people is what we need. That is who Marianne is.
"A candidate who actually supports the people is what we need. " We certainly do; and MW knows we must help and take responsibility in order to make the necessary changes that will turn the US of A around for the good of our people.
You really DO want Trump, then, don't you? Enjoy the good life offered to all with Project 2025. If you star gazing Twinkies don't get real, that is what you will have. Just like the young and enthusiastic Berniecrats did in 2016 and could not vote for Hillary, ignoring Bernies pleas to vote for her and they gave us Trump in the first place. If you want him again, go for it. Dachas not far from St. Petersburg are going for a song these days.
Actually... it's what YOU (and perhaps ALL of us) will get for people like YOU supporting the worst candidate DNC has run since Hillary. (Turns out, she's a warmonger, too. ) Yeah, really. Maybe... just maybe... we'd have made out worse with her in WH... an idea that's recently occurred to hubs and me. Wild, i know. And yet...
Maybe... just maybe this is all just part of the process of realignment. We ALL need Marianne out there, telling it like it really is. The ones who've been in power the longest are DEFINITELY NOT the ones who need to pull us out of the ditch where THEY drove us. WAKE UP!! Or don't. Change is happening... so go with it and support the country by helping Marianne ... or keep resisting. Up to YOU.
Some people are just too terrified of fixing the mess to acknowledge how Marianne is helping ease us onto a more productive path... well, you know. Fearmongering is just so unattractive. Ignore that person... and let's carry on. Cheers!
"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE..." don't vote for a man who can't perform the functions of a president.
"Closet republican"...??? Please, please, please name us just one single republican candidate who in the last sixty years has ever supported the the issues Marianne Williamson supports.
This is a very misguided post. It is Primary Season. As a Democratic challenger to Biden, the whole point is to take votes from him and become President. Marianne Williamson is superior to Biden in every way - don't take my word for it tho - check out her world-class Platform at Marianne2024.com/issues
As usual, your comments and "take" on the situation are BRILLIANT! YOU should be our next President, because you really UNDERSTAND the situation AND WHAT'S at stake!!! Please keep putting out your comments/reactions to the situations that "BE!" Hopefully, people will WAKE UP to what's REALLY being offered for our future!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!
I totally disagreed with Biden's comment that if Russia wins in Ukraine he will invade NATO nations.
Ukraine has great strategic as well as historical value to Russia. Over 300.000 fled to Russia, not the West when the invasion began.
I think there is zero hope of Ukraine beating Russia back. They should have (with U.S. backing) been seeking a cease fire and seceding the 5 Eastern Oblasts that are Russian speaking and stopped the killings.
Putin is far from stupid and our constant surge from 12 countries in NATO to 30 included moving weapons up to Russian borders is threatening.
Anyone who thinks some country is going to attack the U.S.A. is living in a false fear.
Fear breeds hate and anger, we need a leader who does not fear monger. Trump is the worst.
Only people winning are those in the military industrial complex and they give up a ton in the process.
Marianne is correct in what she says, "honesty is the best policy." Unfortunately, at present, both major political party candidates have brought forth short-sighted campaigns that are not focusing clearly on the well-being of the majority of the American population--stretching their own truth to entice voters. Instead, Americans would be much better off learning more about reality by uncovering the roots causes that have been blocking progress in the USA, including the realms Marianne has outlined, including solutions. Any other way will bring continued angst--be it a win by either major party. So we must press on, and become even stronger as a nation instead of weaker within the context of sustaining a worthwhile society. Uncovering new ways to achieve better outcomes is long overdue.
You are spreading misinformation here. Biden has events that are open to anybody. I've signed up for health care briefings and women's issues. Right wing media has tried to portray him differently and now here you are doing the same thing. You withdrew from the race, why would you now siphon off Biden's votes when he's running against Trump? You are helping Trump and I know you don't like him any more than I do. Stop this campaign if you don't want another four years like Trump inflicted on us before, freezer trucks used as morgues. Biden deserves more credit for all he has done, and instead here you are trying to act as if he is out of touch. He is in touch, he communicates and those communications are available to anyone. It's insane that you would see reason enough to withdraw from the Democratic nomination, then turn around and flip flop into yet another campaign as what? As a spoiler, that's what.
It's a primary, Jean. What votes am I siphoning off? I am literally taking maybe 5 per cent of his votes in a PRIMARY! Did you actually read the article? I would appreciate if if you would.
True, I didn't read all of it, because just seeing what you said about Biden made it seem like you were still running against him, yet you withdrew your candidacy from the Democratic primary? If you were going to come back in, why do it as independent instead of as a Democrat?
Marianne is NOT taking any votes from Biden. I can PROMISE you ... no one in this house was ever gonna vote for Biden again... even before Marianne said she's running in the primary. We're DELIGHTED to support her!! We're not alone by a long shot.
Plenty of us have had it with him... and with DNC fearmongering us and invisibilizing Marianne because she actually speaks about what they and Biden OUGHTA be acknowledging to the entire country. The world, even. Yeah.
Happily and proudly did our patriotic duty this week and cast our PRIMARY votes in TEX-ASS for Marianne. Yes, even in Texas... we're not buying the BS anymore.
Nov?? NOT voting for either of those two ridiculous candidates that NO ONE wants. Promise. Que sera sera... really.
If any of them are smart... they'll genuinely embrace the brilliant ideas and plans that Marianne has offered to help our country to a new beginning... which we desperately need. None of them appears smart enough or truly cares. So we all stand with Marianne. Only sensible thing to do!
She is certainly not spreading misinformation here. Marianne is simply saying what we are all thinking except she says it behind her microphone. I watched his speech, scared that he would stumble over his words or stumble down the stairs. It did not instill hope for our country. We need Marianne’s voice now more than ever ! Go to her website , read her policies Jean
Jean, this fearmongering will turn off more potential voters than Marianne running ever could.
Biden's administration is responsible for more oil drilling permits than Trump!! He has handled Covid worse than Trump!! Listen to the disability community, listen to the youth. His administration is failing in so many ways, and now he is pushing regressive policy at the border.
If this is only the primary are you sure MW can be a spoiler?
"I've signed up for health care briefings and women's issues." --Always good to try. You may learn more about how the game is played and who the real players are.
In my experience to be let in a door (does not mean that you can or will ever have a meaningful voice no matter how important the issue you are addressing; unless you have more than your voice to offer, like, power, influence or $$$, but they may feed you well, --if you get that far. And there will be paid staff, junior officials or volunteers assigned to smile and nod and treat you nicely, while they appease you then congratulate themselves for their well calculated PR moves.
After it is over let us know what you have gained for the people you cared about and whose lives you were working to improve. Maybe you will personally benefit. Sometimes if you have made enough of an impression they like to make you think you have won some something that makes a difference. And if you did benefit, you will not be likely to forget it. Loyalty until your death, with maybe a Christmas card thrown in too.
We did not watch the State of the Union Address; we boycotted it in memory of the thousands of Palestinian people who have been killed, permanently maimed, experienced untold misery and loss, and are now dying of starvation. All of this is due to the cruel policies of our country's current administration that have supported Israel and financed its participation in the unprecedented devastation of Palestine and its people.
I agree with Marianne that Biden, who has been in the White House far too long and eats only off the best china at every meal, does not give a thought for his fellow country-men, -women and -children. As a consequence, he has no idea how the people of our country live and no real interest in finding out. He spent exactly 12 minutes on the picket line for the UAW strikers who had been on strike for many weeks, fearing for their future ability to feed their families. He expends no time or thought for the poorest people in our nation who are living in the worst of squalid conditions due to homelessness, poverty, racial inequity, lack of medical care and equal access to education.
I have heard enough media coverage of Biden's stellar performance at the
State of the Union Address to know that I have missed nothing, except the showmanship and entitlement of the haves over the have-nots. I will be glad when this administration comes to an end. It does not represent the rest of the world and its dreams for peace and good will in the 21st century.
The State of the Union address was, as it usually is, a collection of sound bites. Then, the Boo Birds come out and squawk their laundry list of "everything the President DIDN'T say." Neither the orator or his critics change anything. What does change things is, as you point out, a leader who actually sits down with real people, looks them in the eye, and listens- the way Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. did; the way Bernie Sanders and AOC do; the way you do.
This Presidential campaign is a huge disappointment. Of course the real lack of belief in democracy by the government itself. Biden, is not a leader with a moral back bone. Biden is not about defending democracy. Biden doesn’t work for, of and by, the people. There is no other candidate so committed to humanity like, Marianne. This should be a run away win for Marianne but the deeper issue in the world; is patriarchy. That’s what’s really going on here. I watched this up close and personal within the belly of Corporate America’s promotional process. The glass ceiling explanation is a smoke screen to ensure work environments’ favors the motherless worker. The ERA must put the nail on the patriarchy coffin ⚰️. The peoples of this country need a real leader and gender should no be one of the requirements. There is only one person to fill these shoes 👠 for 2024, it’s Marianne Williamson 🙏🔥🎙
Defeating Donald Trump is Not going to defeat the millions of his fervent followers, OR all those very many Trump invested politicians in his pocket OR The Supreme Court and Federal judges he appointed Or...to be fair, a lot of people desperate and living on the edge because of failed social policies from both political parties.
Until liberals and progressives HONESTLY examine in depth, the phenomenon that is Donald Trump and his mercurial rise to such power and influence....NOTHING is Really going to change if he should be defeated.
This upcoming Presidential Election is Not the Super Bowl where one team wins, and the losers then pack their bags and go home.
Everything is going to remain Exactly as it was before the election.
Trump will have lost in the history books - but he will claim an unfair election, forces at play conspiring against him, ad nauseum.
He will pretty much continue to do What He Is Doing Right Now.
And if Anyone is native enough to think that a jail cell will silence him....then you Really do Not understand what Donald Trump is to the millions who fervently believe in him with almost a religious zeal.
Donald Trump - self absorbed narcissistic sociopath that he is...is a symbol of defiance for the disenfranchised - the millions upon millions of Americans struggling to barely get by against a heartless uncaring monolith of a Federal Government which spends billions and billions of dollars on foreign wars...while large numbers of it's own people Suffer great deprivation and hardship.
Donald Trump won't be leaving the stage anytime soon, my liberal and progressive friends...because the fertile soil of Inequity in this once great Republic is a poisonous birthplace for tyrants, promising the people All that which their leaders have not only Not provided, but have in Large part stolen from them for many decades.
Address and Treat the problems that birth a Donald Trump, and Donald Trump will quickly cease to be a force of chaos.
Continue to ignore the will and unmet needs of tens of millions of American...and there are many more Donald Trumps just waiting in America's future.
Marianne Williamson is The Answer for all those people excluded from the Great American experiment, those people who Donald Trump Really couldn't care less about.
Treat the cause...and you eliminate the disease.
Focus on the symptoms, and the disease isn't going anywhere.
I would suggest that the true "STATE of THIS UNION " IS ITS OBVIOUS STATE OF DECAY and IT'S "ABSOLUTE" STATE of DISUNION!
An Opinion:
I have experienced, and KNOWN of this state of affairs since 1979. Your assessment of the severity of the decline really becoming serious with the "trickle down" policies of the Regan Admin, was only the "third, BUT THE ONE PROVING FATAL TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY!
Nixon's Revenue Sharing proved to be the major factor on their CORRUPTIBILITY and MANIPULATION OF THE U.S. POLITICAL ECONOMY and THE UNDERMINING OF THE SEPERATION OF POWERS ON THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS!
THE CARTER ADMINS' ambitions to give to THE poorer and needy people OF THE POPULATION THEIR DUE RIGHTS GAVE THE MODERNDAY CARPETBAGGERS the opportunity to FLOOD THE JOB'S MARKET WITH THEIR "snake oil, administrative benediction and other "expensive"
I did not listen to the State of the Nation address. I can't trust anything that is said on mainstream media. I see how they suppressed coverage of you and all you stand for. I want the real news. The true news. And that is all about our campaign for Marianne Williamson for President! They are afraid you'll have that viral moment. And they can't afford to let that truth out! Because then they'll be exposed - pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
I didn't listen to that state of the whatever speech, they're often just words. I listen to you, I will vote for you. No more voting out of fear, because if I don't support this one, the other one will win. No, there are options, we are not doomed to keep doing the same thing over and over because the time is now. I know why you had to be a Democratic candidate even if the DNC is as broken as everything else, but you follow your goals and not the party line. I like that. My parents didn't survive the Holocaust for me to do anything out fear. With you, I'm filled with hope and the passion of your vision.

As political speeches go, it was OK. But I strenuously objected to his stance on Israel. Sending bombs to kill people and dropping food aid. Is lunacy. What side are you on Joe? You know the answer of that question.

Indeed: Hamas leaders net worth:
Abu Marzuk $3 billion
Khaled Mashal $4 billion
Ismail Haniyeh $4 billion
Hamas’ annual turnover: $1 billion
While Gazans are deprived of basic needs, Hamas uses aid & funds to line their own pockets.
And Murzuk and Mashal and Haniyeh are hiding in Yemen where is is a real genocide occurring. Why is no one mentioning that?
I ditto what Jean Knowlton said...DO NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT...You really WOULD be taking votes away from Biden or any other DEMOCRAT who runs.

I'm running in the PRIMARY.
By speaking ill of Biden, you are doing Trumps work.
We should just all close our eyes and ears and pretend everything is fine. That will really help.
It's Primary Season people. As a Democratic challenger to Biden, it would be bizarre if Marianne Williamson was not questioning him.
Not ill. Just an honest and accurate assessment.
By your not recognizing the truth of President Biden's physical and mental condition, and past lack of will to work for the health, well-being or economic security of so many American citizen's who have lost their housing and have trouble feeding their families.

Read the article, Jean.
I voted for Marianne in the primary. She will not get past the primary so it does not take away from Biden's vote count in Nov.
Mine was a sincere vote as a change in thinking is needed in DC.
She is running as a Democrat now.
She is certainly not spreading misinformation here. Marianne is simply saying what we are all thinking except she says it behind her microphone. I watched his speech, scared that he would stumble over his words or stumble down the stairs. It did not instill hope for our country. We need Marianne’s voice now more than ever !

Wake up.
Yikes. Please do more research 🙏
Was that to me, or to Jean?
Jean. Keep speaking Truth @marianne. Its time to put a Mother in the White House! 🇺🇲
indeed it's WAAAY past time!!

As a consequence, he has no idea how the people of our country live and no real interest in finding out. He spent exactly 12 minutes on the picket line for the UAW strikers who had been on strike for many weeks, fearing for their future ability to feed their families. He expends no time or thought for the poorest people in our nation who are living in the worst of squalid conditions due to homelessness, poverty, racial inequity, lack of medical care and equal access to education.
I have heard enough media coverage of Biden's stellar performance at the
State of the Union Address to know that I have missed nothing, except the showmanship and entitlement of the haves over the have-nots. I will be glad when this administration comes to an end. It does not represent the rest of the world and its dreams for peace and good will in the 21st century.
The State of the Union address was, as it usually is, a collection of sound bites. Then, the Boo Birds come out and squawk their laundry list of "everything the President DIDN'T say." Neither the orator or his critics change anything. What does change things is, as you point out, a leader who actually sits down with real people, looks them in the eye, and listens- the way Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. did; the way Bernie Sanders and AOC do; the way you do.
This Presidential campaign is a huge disappointment. Of course the real lack of belief in democracy by the government itself. Biden, is not a leader with a moral back bone. Biden is not about defending democracy. Biden doesn’t work for, of and by, the people. There is no other candidate so committed to humanity like, Marianne. This should be a run away win for Marianne but the deeper issue in the world; is patriarchy. That’s what’s really going on here. I watched this up close and personal within the belly of Corporate America’s promotional process. The glass ceiling explanation is a smoke screen to ensure work environments’ favors the motherless worker. The ERA must put the nail on the patriarchy coffin ⚰️. The peoples of this country need a real leader and gender should no be one of the requirements. There is only one person to fill these shoes 👠 for 2024, it’s Marianne Williamson 🙏🔥🎙
Let us be crystal clear here folks:
Defeating Donald Trump is Not going to defeat the millions of his fervent followers, OR all those very many Trump invested politicians in his pocket OR The Supreme Court and Federal judges he appointed Or...to be fair, a lot of people desperate and living on the edge because of failed social policies from both political parties.
Until liberals and progressives HONESTLY examine in depth, the phenomenon that is Donald Trump and his mercurial rise to such power and influence....NOTHING is Really going to change if he should be defeated.
This upcoming Presidential Election is Not the Super Bowl where one team wins, and the losers then pack their bags and go home.
Everything is going to remain Exactly as it was before the election.
Trump will have lost in the history books - but he will claim an unfair election, forces at play conspiring against him, ad nauseum.
He will pretty much continue to do What He Is Doing Right Now.
And if Anyone is native enough to think that a jail cell will silence him....then you Really do Not understand what Donald Trump is to the millions who fervently believe in him with almost a religious zeal.
Donald Trump - self absorbed narcissistic sociopath that he is...is a symbol of defiance for the disenfranchised - the millions upon millions of Americans struggling to barely get by against a heartless uncaring monolith of a Federal Government which spends billions and billions of dollars on foreign wars...while large numbers of it's own people Suffer great deprivation and hardship.
Donald Trump won't be leaving the stage anytime soon, my liberal and progressive friends...because the fertile soil of Inequity in this once great Republic is a poisonous birthplace for tyrants, promising the people All that which their leaders have not only Not provided, but have in Large part stolen from them for many decades.
Address and Treat the problems that birth a Donald Trump, and Donald Trump will quickly cease to be a force of chaos.
Continue to ignore the will and unmet needs of tens of millions of American...and there are many more Donald Trumps just waiting in America's future.
Marianne Williamson is The Answer for all those people excluded from the Great American experiment, those people who Donald Trump Really couldn't care less about.
Treat the cause...and you eliminate the disease.
Focus on the symptoms, and the disease isn't going anywhere.
LOVE this, Michael!!! Sooo well described and understood. Thank you! No one else seems to get it.
I would suggest that the true "STATE of THIS UNION " IS ITS OBVIOUS STATE OF DECAY and IT'S "ABSOLUTE" STATE of DISUNION!
An Opinion:
I have experienced, and KNOWN of this state of affairs since 1979. Your assessment of the severity of the decline really becoming serious with the "trickle down" policies of the Regan Admin, was only the "third, BUT THE ONE PROVING FATAL TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY!
Nixon's Revenue Sharing proved to be the major factor on their CORRUPTIBILITY and MANIPULATION OF THE U.S. POLITICAL ECONOMY and THE UNDERMINING OF THE SEPERATION OF POWERS ON THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS!
THE CARTER ADMINS' ambitions to give to THE poorer and needy people OF THE POPULATION THEIR DUE RIGHTS GAVE THE MODERNDAY CARPETBAGGERS the opportunity to FLOOD THE JOB'S MARKET WITH THEIR "snake oil, administrative benediction and other "expensive"
I did not listen to the State of the Nation address. I can't trust anything that is said on mainstream media. I see how they suppressed coverage of you and all you stand for. I want the real news. The true news. And that is all about our campaign for Marianne Williamson for President! They are afraid you'll have that viral moment. And they can't afford to let that truth out! Because then they'll be exposed - pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
