That is a ridiculous belief on your part.
You don't support ANY of it. You support the demonization of gay and trans people. You guys always have to have some group to demonize and hate.

And you jump right on board.

How Marianne Williamson, RFK Jr. Compare to Biden on 6 Key Issues
President Joe Biden and his Democratic challengers, Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are taking different stances on a wide range of issues ahead of the 2024 primary election.

All three candidates have put forward their plans to deal with inflation, with Williamson, an author who ran for president in 2020, calling for "fundamental economic reform."

While Biden and Williamson support aid for Ukraine amid Russia's invasion, Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer, has taken a more critical tone with regards to Biden's leadership......

Williamson is running a vanity campaign designed at raising rates for speeches and to sell books.

I believe Kennedy probably believes he has a chance at winning. But, is more concerned with shining light on some of the environmental issues and perhaps vaccine issues he is passionate about.

She has a grasp of the issues and policy platform that are better stronger than any of the other candidates, Instead of putting their platforms up for comparison they back away and pretend shes not running or not serious.

Marianne Williamson: We need a 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights

Marianne Williamson addresses the National Press Club in Washington, DC, as she outlines a new vision for the American economy as we head deeper into the 21st century: An Economic Bill of Rights, inspired by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's pitch of a Second Bill of Rights in the immediate aftermath of World War 2.
Wow That was good speech. She has much to offer that just isn't available anywhere else.

Scholar, activist Cornel West says he will run for president in 2024 as 3rd-party candidate

WASHINGTON – Scholar and progressive activist Cornel West announced Monday he is running for president next year as a third-party candidate, saying he wants to empower people who have been “pushed to the margins."

In a Twitter video, West said he will run as a member of The People's Party. He criticized both major political parties and their standard bearers, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Both Biden and Trump are running again in 2024.

Tim Scott booed on ‘The View’ for comments on DeSantis, Disney

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) was booed by members of the studio audience watching “The View” on Monday after he praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and his recent battles with Disney.

“Disney and Ron have been in a combat zone over what I thought is the right issue, which is our young kids and what they are being indoctrinated with,” Scott said.

I know it barely registered with anybody here or most places, but Mike Pence announced his candidacy. yesterday. If nothing else, it could make for some interesting primary debates, if Trump stays in the race.

Ballotpedia now says there are 9 officially declared presidential candidates in the Republican primary, including Cory Stapleton. If you didn't know who he was, don't feel bad; he was the former Montana Sec of State.

I have tremendous respect for Cornel West as a scholar and activist, though I have not forgotten that he and Tavis Smiley said some ridiculous things about Obama, or that he published an op-ed saying he liked Guv Ron's educational policy.

I have zero interest in him as a third party candidate, and as usual all he can probably do in 2024 is act as a spoiler.

Hot damn, another lefty third party candidate to suck off votes and make Democrats lose.

Been there, done that.

Pass.

Chris "Bridge Troll" Christie has officially announced. He's just another clown car rider, but he might also be the most willing to punch Trump in the face directly. Of course, Trump can point out he used to be a sycophant, and at one point he was, maybe because he was hoping for an administration position, although I think Jared did not like the fact he prosecuted his dad, so that ended quickly.

Next up: Doug Burgum has also announced. You are totally forgiven if you just said "who?" :D He's the governor of North Dakota. Now I'm just waiting for the Miami Mayor to get in the clown car. This one could be on more of a wild joyride than 2016.

Today I was looking at ratings on RCP. Somehow Biden's approval numbers are lower than Trump's and his disapproval higher than Trump's at the same point in their presidency.

Any Republican not named Trump will defeat him.

America needs a President oriented differently to war and the economy than is currently available Cornelle West and Marianne Williamson are 2 very good candidates in that way

At least Williamson is running in the Democratic primary. Cornel West is running on the Peoples' Party which means while he can't win, he has the usual ability to act as a spoiler.

It's not clear how many state ballots he will even appear on. Ballotopedia doesn't have an exact answer, but it appears to be less than 10.

There is no earthly way he could win the electoral college.

I didn't vote for him. Couldn't even if I had wanted to. Was a proud supporter of Danielle Levine Cava, though.

Cornel West Moves to Green Party in 2024 Presidential Run

Cornel West has switched party affiliation and is now running to be the Green Party’s 2024 presidential nominee. The author, civil rights activist and professor of philosophy announced earlier this month he would run as a candidate with the People’s Party. West confirmed the news on “The Katie Halper Show.”

In this deep dive with 2024 Independent candidate Dr. Cornel West, Briahna Joy Gray presses him on his decision to distance himself from the Movement for a People's Party, eliciting details about his prospective affiliation with the Green Party that other interviews haven't captured. Is there a chance he wont be the Green nominee? If not, what then?

Also, Dr. West explains in detail why RFK Jr. dramatically misunderstands the plight of Palestinians, his failure to apply the same logic he uses to argue against Ukraine funding int he Middle East. They talk campaign strategy, ranked choice voting, and more. A must listen.
