Biden's First Official 2024 Primary Challenger Is a Meditating Hippy Who Preaches the 'Politics of Love' And Yes, This is Not Her First Presidential Campaign
Townhall ^ | 03/04/2023 | Sarah Arnold

Self-help author Marianne Williamson officially declared her 2024 presidential run against President Joe Biden, vowing to fight "forces of hatred, injustice, and fear."

"I, as of today, am a candidate for the office of president of the United States. Williamson said at her campaign kickoff event at Washington D.C.'s Union Station. "The status quo will not disrupt itself… that's our job."

Williamson, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020, is taking another shot at the White House, being the first Democrat to primary challenge Biden.

"We know that this country is plagued by many challenges now, not the least of which is hatred and division, which is greater than any of us have experienced national life. It is our job to create a vision of justice and love that is so powerful that it will override the forces of hatred and injustice and fear," the Democrat continued.

Williamson was a one-time spiritual advisor to Oprah Winfrey and views the current state of America as a country with "broken windows" filled with poverty and despair, adding that "half the people in this city don't even notice [despair]."

The 70-year-old's red, blue, and black campaign features slogans that say "A New Beginning" and "Disrupt the System."

Williamson plans to campaign in early-voting states on the 2204 election calendar, such as New Hampshire, which has threatened the Biden Administration's plan to have South Carolina lead the nominating contests.

"You can appreciate what the president has done, defeating the Republicans in 2020, and still feel that it is time to move on," Williamson said, speaking of Biden, adding that "many of us, myself included, feel that in order for the Democrats to win in 2024, we're going to have to be able to offer to the American people something much more than" what the sitting president has offered.

Williamson fell short as a 2020 candidate for being unconventional who pushed politics of love by introducing "six pillars for a season of moral repair," including economic justice, a Department of Children and Youths, and a Department of Peace. She also campaigned for reparations for the descendants of enslaved African-Аmericans while holding meditation sessions during her rallies.

I don’t care to diss her if she wants to disrupt let her disrupt the system of corporate bought politicians wanting to sanction Russia and China instead of the World Economic Forum, George Soros and Company.

The stupid Globalist Uniparty System speaks for itself getting us into angry factions of Left and Right is not the answer.

When Pharma got its way on the vaccine when Big Government and Big Pharma jointly pushed those shots on us they wanted Progressive arms and Conservative arms to get those jabs.

Hey Sarah Arnold:

A long-haired 60s flower child was a “hippie.” “Hippy” is an adjective describing someone with wide hips.

Is English your second language?

Department of Youth? Alice Cooper predicted this in 1976.

We’re in trouble all the time
You read about us all in the papers
We walk around and bump into walls - a blind delegation
And we ain’t afraid of high power
We’re bullet proof
And we’ve never heard of Eisenhower
Missile power, justice or truth

We’re the Department of Youth
Your new Department of Youth
We’re the Department of Youth
Just me and youth

We talk about this whole stupid world
And still come out laughing, ha!
We never make any sense
But hell that never mattered
But we’ll make it through our blackest hour
We’re living proof
And we’ve never heard of Billy Sunday
Damon Runyon, manners or couth

We’re the Department of Youth
Your new Department of Youth
We’re the Department of Youth
Just me and youth

We’re the Department of Youth
The new Department of Youth
We’re the Department of Youth
We’ve got the power
And who gave it to you?
Donny Osmond!
What?!

I'm surprised if many on either side really believe that Mister Biden will actually run for re-election.

My guess (just a guess, mind you) is that the Dems will promote Biden for re-election until the very last moment, then find a way (change of mind, spend more time with, cough- cough family, fake an illness, whatever) that Joe walks away, leaving a fresh Dem candidate at the last minute (too late for internecine debates and too late for in-depth scrutiny).

Just my guess, other predictions invited.

If you were Mister Biden, would you hang around for 4 more?

The Politics of Love?

I actually like that Tears for Fears song

https://youtu.be/VAtGOESO7W8

It’s really a well-produced song

Sowing the seeds of love

Yeah, I saw that too, and just shook my head. Today’s young writers are just not hip.

A “meditating hippy”?

Hardly. Hippies weren’t exactly materialistic and she definitely is. Think “Real Housewives of Orange County”. That’s her social circle.

She’s a wealthy Orange County, CA New Age woo merchant who got rich peddling her “A Course in Miracles”. Politically leftist.

Wasn’t she married to Salman Rushdie at one time, or am I thinking of someone else?

Never mind. I’m thinking of Marianne Wiggins, another leftist author from the same era.

RE: Wasn’t she married to Salman Rushdie at one time, or am I thinking of someone else?

You are probably confusing Marianne Williamson with the author, Marianne Wiggins, who indeed was once married to Salman Rushdie.

That’s understandable because they share the same first names and initials.

Marianne Williamson needs you to send $20 a month (or more!) Coto de Caza and Emerald Bay isn’t cheap, and neither is shopping at Fashion Island in Newport Beach.

Then I read this notice in The Holy Encounter that suggested a monthly donation. That notice has probably been in there for years, but I never paid attention. So rather than wait until I can collect a respectable amount, I would like to donate $25.00 a month to be taken from the same credit card that I pay for my weekly meetings with. It’s $300/year which is $300 more than I’ve been donating until now. Thank you.”

“Hippy” became a valid variation decades ago...
