Our political system has played this crisis the same way it played things before the crisis, paving the way for our unpreparedness medically and also our unpreparedness economically. The last thing we need is to go back to business as usual when this is over.

This forced pause is bringing up everything uncomfortable to look at, not only in ourselves but also in our politics. That’s why crisis is both danger and opportunity. We get to look at something and say “Do I really want to go forward with this, or is it time to drop it now?”

What I experienced as a presidential candidate is that the same system which led us into a ditch was very adamant that only they were qualified to let us out of it. Adamant to the point of viciousness towards anyone else, making it very difficult to introduce genuinely new ideas.

This situation is analogous to what happens when your house is destroyed let’s say by fire or by earthquake and you have to rebuild it afterwards. There are all kinds of things you’re free to change now. It starts by changing what we ourselves believe is possible in the the world

Lack of education among too many. Economic crisis among too many. Selfishness among too many. Propaganda that worked among too many. Failure to vote among too many. (Plus Comey, electoral college, etc.) Do you see it differently?

This administration is so full of new ideas that they threw away the pandemic plan that was drafted in detail for them by those "establishment Democrats" who actually don't want Americans to die. The very last thing we need right now is an essential oils and crystal healer.

I have a question for you. Find one place in my 35 year career, either in my speaking on my writing, where I talked about oils or crystals. You’re making up a story about who I am and what I believe. My exact point.

In 2016 we tried a new approach called, “Let’s elect a racist reality show host without any governmental experience to run the country.” How’s that working out, magical crystal lady?

I’m sorry. Can you find my mentioning a crystal anywhere in my 35 year career?

Marianne Williamson’s ideas were a disruption to the status quo... And “they” weren’t having it.
