Marianne Williamson Speaking at a Convention for Progressives Discussing Forming a Third Party
Breitbart ^ | August 19 2020 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 08/19/2020 12:11:59 PM PDT by knighthawk

Marianne Williamson — author, self-help guru, and former Democrat presidential candidate who rose to national attention for her quirky style — will speak at the upcoming “People’s Convention,” where attendees will discuss the possibility of forming a third party.

The People’s Convention, geared toward progressives who feel ignored by the Democrat establishment, is slated for August 30 and will feature speakers including Williamson, former Sanders campaign national co-chair Nina Turner, former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-AK), Amped Up host Ryan Knight, comedian and The Jimmy Dore Show host Jimmy Dore, and Dr. Cornel West.

Organizers say participants will broach forming a “major new political party in America” — an idea that would seemingly resonate with Williamson, who has voiced her frustrations with the Democrat Party, blasting them for taking money from corporate donors while simultaneously vowing to “take them on.”

Could almost consider that it would be the fourth party, if the RINOs/#NeverTrumpers are taken into account...

Gravel must be older than Biden. I wonder if he knows he isn't in Alaska any more?

There already is an American Communist Party. Maybe she could start the American branch of the Monster Raving Loonie Party.

Oh boy, the New-Age Party!!!!

If this were the 1970s, a New-Age party might develop some traction. But in the 2020s, not so much!!

Didn't she not do well, because she wasn't progressive enough?

Didn't she get in trouble for once saying abortion wasn't that great?

Although he is a thoroughgoing leftist, Jimmy Dore can be funny and reasonable.

He has been skewering Biden and even Bernie on his YouTube show.

He used to be with the Young Turks but left because of Cenk's nonsense.

There already is a party called the Natural Law Party that has more to do with New Age than with Catholic legal/philosophical theory.

Too late, Marianne. Way too late to be seen as anything but a protest vote. You may as well vote for Kayne. That’s going nowhere too.

doesn’t mean squat unless the fools are willing to pull a Kanye and get themselves on the ballots in a bunch of states, preferably blue ones ...

She was actually ahead of the curve on the “apologize for being white” movement. There is video of her last year joining with other white liberals in a church, having them personally pray and apologize to blacks who were present.

It will be the party of LOVE. They will pass an orb around a group of people (like passing a joint) that will give organisms to those holding it.
