Or she’s selling you what you want to hear, exactly like a bullshit guru and self-help speaker has practiced doing for decades? 

Wow, crazy person tells audience exactly what they want to hear before the general election cycle promptly kills any such nonsense realistically. How PROGRESSIVE!!!

I understand that you have no intent to legitimize a path to the presidency. However, there is danger in legitimizing her statements and/or presence because we like some of what she’s saying, or how she says it.

Looking back at how the right leaning publications cast Trump as a clown, but “tells it like it is” in 2016…

No, her more controversial beliefs about vaccinations and mental health should be disqualifying.

Please don’t give this mess more oxygen. Maybe you are not old enough to remember her “A Course in Miracles” bullshit and what damage she did during the early days of the AIDS crisis, but everybody who DOES remember knows she is a grifter.

Fucking Lou.

I think the risk here is that she’s found a way to run a low-cost, high-visibility campaign by saying things the conventional candidates won’t or can’t say, in ways they don’t dare say them. Does that remind you of anyone?

So much this. The Marianne orb-mother memes have been terrible from the beginning. She may have some genuinely leftist beliefs that put her ahead of a good portion of the clown car, but like Tulsi her drawbacks are utterly disqualifying. The fact that she’s better than any of the Democratic candidates only shows how…

THANK YOU! Seriously this article should have ended after -

Nope to all these pieces today (at this family of sites and others) fawning over her for saying the bare minimum truths that progressives share in meme form on FB. Not to mention that the majority of her “points” have already been made by the top two progressives on the stage (barring the reparations commentary).

That sounds very specific, and yet it's so utterly universal! 

She did surprisingly well on that note. But her closing speech reminded me of an evangelical preacher catching the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues. Is holding hands and singing Kumbaya the balm to Nazis with tiki torches? I don’t think so. The need to believe is understandable.

We have Uncle Bernie now Aunt Marianne. She is like the kooky aunt you have who has a grown daughter from a short marriage who she is always sort of at odds with. Is attractive and lives by herself but is always traveling and always has  Lou with her ,the guy she has been dating for 15 years, when she shows up for a…

It is a crime that he’s even on the stage, and even more so that Jake Tapper directed so many questions and replies to him.

Biden, Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, Harris. The rest can GTFO and stop wasting my time.

It's too bad the only one he's passed was to name a post office.

I’m a fan of the shoe method. I acknowledge I can be forgetful, especially when there is something outside of my routine. My wife and I have agreed I need something else besides “I’m a great parent and this can’t happen to me” to make sure this can’t happen. I feel terrible for the dad that it did happen to.

You do realize that this was happening before cell phones, right? 

You didn’t answer my question.

How do you hold them accountable, though? What purpose does prison serve here?
