          No it doesn’t. That’s a false dichotomy. A person can choose to support Marianne Williamson, or not vote at all. Also, framing it as an ultimatum makes a voter defensive and more likely to vote for someone else.

            And that accomplishes nothing but a Trump victory.

            Also you know that Williamson has her own hang ups right? Older gay people seem to have a very visceral dislike of her for the AIDS epidemic. She ended up convincing people that the illness was a “psychic scream” from your body, telling you to love yourself more.

            So they went off their medications, and then died, thinking they were incapable of loving themselves hard enough. Williamson hasn’t apologized at all for it and outright lies about what she said.

              You know what causes a Trump victory? The DNC putting forward corporate candidates that don’t inspire their base, and then saying if you don’t vote for them that you support the other party.

                You say their base as if you’re not talking about the demographic that couldn’t be assed to turn out to the primaries to back the candidate they were allegedly so inspired by.

                  You mean to support the candidate that the DNC was actively sabotaging and had secret agreements with their adversary?
