As a supporter of Marianne’s candidacy, I’m very happy to see her being interviewed by a mainstream media outlet. It’s a solid 10-minute interview, one in which Marianne raises a number of informed and insightful points. I hope there will be many more appearances by this Cassandra of U.S. politics, as we sorely need her wisdom and clarity.
UPDATE: In addition to her appearance today on ABC News Live, Marianne was also a guest on Fox News’ Your World With Neil Cavuto. Following is the resulting 6-minute interview.
Following are some YouTube comments on Marianne’s media appearances today.
• I just signed a petition as a delegate for the DNC to nominate Marianne Williamson for President of the United States.
• Marianne is speaking for the people. The process by which we choose a candidate has been removed from our hands. I would love to see a respectful discussion and debates. How can we create a peaceful and prosperous future for everyone without it? Thank you for this respectful interview. We are not lemmings, and it’s up to us to hold politicians accountable for the needs of every American.
• Marianne Williamson is as sharp as nails and is the fearless truth-teller that we need in Office.
• Go Marianne! I already voted overseas for her because I believe she is for the greatest good of all Americans and the world.
• Nice to see Marianne Williamson respected and so warmly welcomed by ABC Live. It’s about time.
• Thank you, ABC. Let’s continue with a full democratic process. Let’s hear from all the candidates. Kamala Harris said she would earn this nomination. Then let there be open debates. Thank you for amplifying Marianne Williamson’s voice in this moment.
•I don’t know if Marianne Williamson will ever receive the gratitude from America that she deserves, but she is a patriot, and she is fighting for working people. I thank her, and am grateful.
• This last Democratic primary was a joke. Still, Marianne won more votes than expected.
• Thank you, Marianne, for explaining how our democracy is supposed to work and that now is a wonderful opportunity for all Americans to see a range of candidates presenting and debating solutions to the problems we face as a nation and in the world.
• So grateful to you, Marianne, for continuing to stand up for democracy and for the many people who are not being served by our corporatist government.
•She is right. Somebody needs to speak to what people are concerned about: healthcare, clean food and water, education, housing, fair wages, everyday concerns of the people.
• Marianne Williamson has vision, heart, and is incredibly articulate. No wonder the establishment doesn’t want her to be heard or debated!
• Marianne has never given up on democracy or the American people, despite being ignored and dismissed by the political elite. She is guided by higher principles than just the political theatre that is currently going on, and now I think her time has come. She has been proven right time and time again and is usually the first person to lay down her position on important issues while the others just sweep things under the rug. She has proven herself to be a committed, strong, intelligent, wise, determined, gracious, respectful, honourable, and compassionate person with the drive and courage to lead and restore a government that works for the PEOPLE.
• Is America ready for Marianne? I hope so. It would be really exiting to see what difference she would make.
