Ah, so the penny drops. You hate Biden for his support of Israel. I get that. Israel is engaged in a genocide, and I wish we had a president, or a populace, with the political will to stop it. Are any of the democratic primary challengers running on that?
Israel should be stopped. The people of Gaza deserve the same human rights as every other human on the planet.
But universal human rights aren’t on the table. We’re not going to stop supporting Israel. Trump won’t stop supporting Israel. Well, actually, he might if someone pays him enough, but guaranteed the resulting clusterfuck would be a disaster of at least equal proportion. And the damage Trump would do in every other aspect of human life makes that a nonstarter.
Look, I agree with most of her political positions, but she’s not a viable candidate. I can’t think of a way to describe her that isn’t reductive or condescending. The kindest words that come to mind are “talk show,” “pseudoscience,” and “nutty.”
I welcome her support to the policies she likes, because those are the policies I like, but I don’t trust the train of thought she took to get there. If she were running for state or local government, I might vote for her, but I wouldn’t phone bank or donate to her campaign. I just don’t know how to look someone in the eye and say she’s a serious person.
Having said all of that, her platform is peace in general, peace as a priority. And while I can agree with that on principle, it isn’t a plan but a goal. She wants Israel and Hamas to reject the evil psychic forces drawing them to war and dismantle their bonbs to make garden planters. She isn’t running in opposition to Zionism or promoting a two state solution. She doesn’t know how to get them to heal their hearts and end the violence, but she’s sure that’s what she wants.
So you’re probably right, but I don’t really count that because it’s not a serious campaign. Anyone who offers criticisms without alternative solutions is just trying to get a little publicity.

I’d be pretty surprised if Marianne Williamson was pro-war.
Is she the candidate you support?
