Going forward… #SmashTheMachine

Marianne. I support you. I like your campaign and your policies. But you’re making a mockery out of the Progressive movement. The Democratic party for some reason wants to re-nominate Joe Biden and they view the only other viable option is Dean Phillips.

This isn't on her, the establishment views Phillips as the only other viable option because he's one of them.

I didn’t say it was on her. But she literally isn’t even taken seriously. She is wasn’t even competitive in New Hampshire

Im afraid im one of many who expressed that concern or contributed to that narrative. However, i do understand the real reason underneath this ‘people don’t take her seriously’ is because many/most people are not in touch with their own spirit or spirituality & much of her work…

… in the past was about spirituality. And this kind of ‘touchy feely’ stuff, matters of the heart, or sometimes labeled as “hippy” stuff, that’s really nothing new & nothing spiritual leaders throughout the ages have taught, people can be UNCOMFORTABLE with it. & when people…

… are UNCOMFORTABLE with something (which btw sometimes is exactly what people need if not want is to be made uncomfortable)… a pretty natural go-to defensive response is to make fun of it, to use humor, to laugh it off, to minimize, deflect, to avoid actually looking inward.

But there really truly, is nothing wrong, it is not a shortcoming, far from it, and there is nothing unserious about someone who’s been willing to explore spirituality. Strong values and morality is something we actually ought to value in a leader and something many have lacked.

So long story short, I am sorry for my own part or for ever contributing to that narrative. I poorly expressed how it was a concern of mine. I tapped into what I believed was a point of weakness, actually secretly hoping it be addressed and ultimately she come out even stronger.
