Marianne Williamson's speech/tweet ...

I think in a case like that, they might try and put Harris in Biden's place. I can't imagine too many Democrats would be excited about Harris near as much as Biden, but being his VP does give some clout.

Technically, there is another candidate of minor note, being Jerome Segal (who also run in the Democratic primary for Maryland's Governor in 2022, along with running for president in 2020 under the Bread and Roses Party, which he has since disbanded).

Though it's unlikely he'll ever amount to much in terms of polling, remember that Lawrence Lessig did technically get the poll totals he needed to in order to be on the debate stage back in 2016 (along with O'Malley, Clinton, Sanders, Webb, and Chafee), but the DNC pretty much shot him down without good reason (there's a shock), which pretty much ended Lessig's campaign. I think the same happened to Mike Gravel in 2020's Democratic primary, but I can't swear to it.

With that in mind, I don't think it's impossible that Segal could replicate that, but I also think it's fair to say that no matter how the Democratic primaries go, if Biden announces, he's a pretty sure shot (again, provided his health doesn't fail him).

True enough, but since Bernie, but even before him we had Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel and of course on the Right Ron Paul, but especially since Bernie, the American people never really conceived that they were free to think.

Since that door war opened though, the Right brough their think tanks and analysts to bear working overtime as to how to reverse that.

Coincidentally politics in the UK has taken a negative turn as well. They had BREXIT which has turned out a disaster for them, and which is understood to have been a big lie - apparently to throw their NHS into private American hands.

I don't think people do like being controlled or having someone think for them. Maybe that is just you. It is a characteristic of human beings that they resist being told what to do. What I think is happening is that the information people base their decisions on is more critical since the last part of the 20th century, and there never used to be the kind of control that Orwell warned about, so what people can actually base their votes on is fed to them - and they hate it. Everyone on both sides bitches about how crappy the news is, even as most on the Right have lapped it up, still most on the Left have not done any better.

It's a real positive thing to hear Marianne Williamson remind us of what can be if we lift our eyes up - even if she is not the one to be able to do it.

I think she's make a better VP than Kamala Harris in my opinion, and be continually reminding us to push Joe Biden. If she has some cred in the actual White House it would reach even more people.

The initial traction Bernie got on the right was totally unexpected, and I think it scared the hell out of the establishment to realize that right and left have a lot more in common that anyone thinks, and the lengthy standing ovation Bernie got in the Fox News Town Hall was a motivator for the Right to redouble their disinformation efforts, and insults towards Democratic candidates.

Why the LOL?
At least she doesn't have the typical establishment plan, that's a major plus right there.
