First principles of non-violence: 1) Self-purification precedes political action. 2) The end is inherent in the means. 3) Even psychological violence blocks miracles. Say it however but the point is this: Democrats hating on other Democrats will help re-elect Trump #repairamerica

Trump’s power derives from his power to divide; our power to override that lies in our power to unite. Argue? Yes. Make our points abundantly clear? Yes. But threaten that if the nominee isn’t our chosen candidate then we won’t vote blue? That’s a sure way to guarantee he wins.

Is the system rigged, corrupt & held tight in the hands of a few? Oh you bet; I don’t think anyone’s clearer about that than me. But nothing justifies giving the election to Donald Trump.The Suffragettes agreed with the Abolitionists: We need to deal with the greatest evil first.

It is really hard to find the lesser Evil when it comes to @realDonaldTrump and @MikeBloomberg. And a democracy lesson for you @marwilliamson: forcing yourself to choose the lesser evil is the greater evil, that is the essence that guarantees maintaining status quo.

Perfectly said, Marianne.

Thank you for this thought stream, Marianne. It gives a lot of food for thought. I pray to know how to make the best use of it.

I’m taking it day by day. When you were running & still now I think discussing issues w/ kindness is foremost, not polls & guessing the future (#BlueNoMatterWho). And Trump also benefits from #DNCRigging & #FPTP voting system (votes split between progressive and moderate left).

I am disappointed that you are mounting this defense for Bloomberg, a Republican interloper who very well could be worse than Trump himself: nytimes.com/2020/02/15/opini…

We can move ahead and solve our problems in a generation or we can march lockstep in the failed, zero sum, Submissive Fabian system assuring continue residence in dismal Scare Cities. True non violence is peaceful—THE AMERICA SYSTEM is CREATIVE FORWARD! MAGA is a start.

I admire your grace towards a system that treated you so unfairly. My difference is I think the corruption is the greater evil than Trump. The corruption is why people turned to Trump, and will prevent us from getting real improvement. Bloomberg = Trump with media on his side.
