Marianne Williamson Unplugs The Lamp!

The guru of talk isn't running. Marianne Williamson drops out the race for president.
The campaign is over for author/activist Marianne Williamson.

The longshot bid to become the Democratic nominee for president was quite interesting for Williamson, who is a known spiritual advisor. She had to lay off her entire staff but still continued on even though most people are moving away from her campaign.

In a post on her website, Williamson said, "We will not be able to garner enough votes in the election to elevate our conversation any more than it is now."

Williamson barely charted on the polls and struggled to gain traction in fundraising during the final months of 2019.

"I ran for president to help forge another direction for our country. I wanted to discuss things I felt needed to be discussed that otherwise were not. I feel that we have done that," she said in a post on her website. "I stayed in the race to take advantage of every possible effort to share our message."

She added, "The primaries might be tightly contested among the top contenders, and I don't want to get in the way of a progressive candidate winning any of them. As of today, therefore, I'm suspending my campaign."

Williamson, a onetime spiritual advisor to Oprah Winfrey whose only other bid for office was running for the 2014 California congressional primary made herself a name for her unorthodox methods to medicine.

Anyway, the next debate is a controversy. The junk food media is obsessed over the diversity of the candidates running. There will be five candidates on stage and they are white.

Again, the Democratic Party nominated and the American people elected Barack Obama to be President of the United States twice. I don't see the problem with the candidates.

I am tired of the junk food media focusing on race. Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard, Deval Patrick and Julian Castro didn't meet requirements. They didn't light a fire with the base. What more can the Democrats do?

I mean there's no stopping the momentum of the candidates that made it to the stage.

I highly believe that Donald J. Trump will win reelection but I do understand that Democrats need to win over voters who sat out this election. Matter of fact, they've done all they can. They can't figure out how to better market themselves as a better choice than an obnoxious white, old, rich and perverted bigot like Trump.

Trump is the face of white nationalism. He didn't become that overnight. He was led by a coalition of far-white agitators like Rupert Murdoch, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Breitbart and old fart Rush Limbaugh.

They continue to bring up divisive themes to sow discourse among progressives and moderate Democratic followers.

Not to mention, the Squad's (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) demands to have a progressive candidate.

They figure if Trump is the face of conservatism, why can't we have a face of progressivism?

Williamson is like every candidate running. She wants to be better than Trump. However, there's no candidate capable of defeating Trump. They won't sink to his level. They won't attack him because of he has special needs. They can't break that base of bigots who support his mentally ill ass.
