@marwilliamson “is having a conversation”. There are no specifics just generalities —florid rhetoric. @UPonMSNBC @davidgura Williamson got through that interview saying nothing. Truly she said nothing.

It’s a matter of how you present yourself during these interviews. There was elevated language—it was aspirational—but in the end, interviews w Ms. Williamson are vague & non specific. We are left with an impression that the candidate isn’t well-versed on the issues.

Afghans Want Peace, but Not Like This foreignpolicy.com/2019/09/12… — How do manage a withdrawal from Afghanistan that doesn’t leave a vacuum that is filled by ISIS, forces aligned against U.S. interests, how do defend women’s rights during a troop draw down.

And how do manage this revanchist interventionist Russia? Russia has their hands in this as well as everywhere? How do you deal with the criminal oligarch class in Russia? What will you do to defend our country and our Western allies from Russian aggression?
Will you support measures that force Russia to returned the illegally annexed region of Crimea? How will you work to NATO countries to align in support of Western Democracy? This will knowledgeable people doing the hard work. How do intend to address this rising authoritarianism?
What will you do about hidden off shore wealth? What legislation will you pass that pulls back the veil of dark money and opaque llc’s that facilitate money-laundering which has led to the rise of donald trump & the rise of Putin?
Tax avoidance through offshore tax loopholes is a significant reason why corporations, which paid one-third of federal revenues 60 years ago, now pay one-tenth of federal revenues.
U.S. corporations dodge $90 billion a year in income taxes by shifting profits to subsidiaries — often no more than a post office box — in tax havens.
U.S. corporations hold $2.1 trillion in profits offshore — much in tax havens — that have not been taxed in the U.S. What are your concrete plans to fix this? How will you exact compliance from recidivist recalcitrant corporations & wealthy individuals?
So here on your site are some specifics: marianne2020.com/issues/the-… good. I don’t hear this specificity coming from the candidate herself. A team has written these policy statements. Ms. Williamson herself has not yet shown the ability to communicate these points.
