I didn't listen to that state of the whatever speech, they're often just words. I listen to you, I will vote for you. No more voting out of fear, because if I don't support this one, the other one will win. No, there are options, we are not doomed to keep doing the same thing over and over because the time is now. I know why you had to be a Democratic candidate even if the DNC is as broken as everything else, but you follow your goals and not the party line. I like that. My parents didn't survive the Holocaust for me to do anything out fear. With you, I'm filled with hope and the passion of your vision.

You speak the truth...If Biden wants to win, he should immediately appoint you to oversee his speeches, public appearances, etc...But I doubt he will do that...It seems the political machines are now running the show and it will come down to the lesser of two evils...Meanwhile millions of dollars will be wasted and the world, including the USA will not be one bit better off...Thank you for continuing to deliver the truth...

By offering people genuine hope that their lives can get better, by addressing not only the symptoms of our problems but their root causes, and by calling people to the great cause of creating a new chapter in American history, we can not only beat Trump - We can truly heal the nation. THANKS, MARIANNE FOR STAYING IN THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT. GOD BLESS YOU.

As political speeches go, it was OK. But I strenuously objected to his stance on Israel. Sending bombs to kill people and dropping food aid. Is lunacy. What side are you on Joe? You know the answer of that question.

Joe Biden hasn’t mentioned the $15 an hour minimum wage in the last three years and further he let eight Democratic senators vote against including it in the relief package . Marianne offers a positive vision, and I agree with her 100% that we as Americans expect two of our government. It’s the people us, us, we do all the work, feeding people helping the homeless, giving free dental and medical clinics. All things that the government could be doing for us if they truly represented us. Which they don’t, all of them lie. Mary Ann is a truth teller, along with Cornell West, Jill, Stein, Ralph, Nader, and those who fight for a better country.

I ditto what Jean Knowlton said...DO NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT...You really WOULD be taking votes away from Biden or any other DEMOCRAT who runs.

Marianne is correct in what she says, "honesty is the best policy." Unfortunately, at present, both major political party candidates have brought forth short-sighted campaigns that are not focusing clearly on the well-being of the majority of the American population--stretching their own truth to entice voters. Instead, Americans would be much better off learning more about reality by uncovering the roots causes that have been blocking progress in the USA, including the realms Marianne has outlined, including solutions. Any other way will bring continued angst--be it a win by either major party. So we must press on, and become even stronger as a nation instead of weaker within the context of sustaining a worthwhile society. Uncovering new ways to achieve better outcomes is long overdue.

You got my vote in the Texas primaries.

I totally disagreed with Biden's comment that if Russia wins in Ukraine he will invade NATO nations.

Ukraine has great strategic as well as historical value to Russia. Over 300.000 fled to Russia, not the West when the invasion began.

I think there is zero hope of Ukraine beating Russia back. They should have (with U.S. backing) been seeking a cease fire and seceding the 5 Eastern Oblasts that are Russian speaking and stopped the killings.

Putin is far from stupid and our constant surge from 12 countries in NATO to 30 included moving weapons up to Russian borders is threatening.

Anyone who thinks some country is going to attack the U.S.A. is living in a false fear.

Fear breeds hate and anger, we need a leader who does not fear monger. Trump is the worst.

Only people winning are those in the military industrial complex and they give up a ton in the process.

You are spreading misinformation here. Biden has events that are open to anybody. I've signed up for health care briefings and women's issues. Right wing media has tried to portray him differently and now here you are doing the same thing. You withdrew from the race, why would you now siphon off Biden's votes when he's running against Trump? You are helping Trump and I know you don't like him any more than I do. Stop this campaign if you don't want another four years like Trump inflicted on us before, freezer trucks used as morgues. Biden deserves more credit for all he has done, and instead here you are trying to act as if he is out of touch. He is in touch, he communicates and those communications are available to anyone. It's insane that you would see reason enough to withdraw from the Democratic nomination, then turn around and flip flop into yet another campaign as what? As a spoiler, that's what.

We did not watch the State of the Union Address; we boycotted it in memory of the thousands of Palestinian people who have been killed, permanently maimed, experienced untold misery and loss, and are now dying of starvation. All of this is due to the cruel policies of our country's current administration that have supported Israel and financed its participation in the unprecedented devastation of Palestine and its people.

I agree with Marianne that Biden, who has been in the White House far too long and eats only off the best china at every meal, does not give a thought for his fellow country-men, -women and -children. As a consequence, he has no idea how the people of our country live and no real interest in finding out. He spent exactly 12 minutes on the picket line for the UAW strikers who had been on strike for many weeks, fearing for their future ability to feed their families. He expends no time or thought for the poorest people in our nation who are living in the worst of squalid conditions due to homelessness, poverty, racial inequity, lack of medical care and equal access to education.

I have heard enough media coverage of Biden's stellar performance at the

State of the Union Address to know that I have missed nothing, except the showmanship and entitlement of the haves over the have-nots. I will be glad when this administration comes to an end. It does not represent the rest of the world and its dreams for peace and good will in the 21st century.

The State of the Union address was, as it usually is, a collection of sound bites. Then, the Boo Birds come out and squawk their laundry list of "everything the President DIDN'T say." Neither the orator or his critics change anything. What does change things is, as you point out, a leader who actually sits down with real people, looks them in the eye, and listens- the way Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. did; the way Bernie Sanders and AOC do; the way you do.

This Presidential campaign is a huge disappointment. Of course the real lack of belief in democracy by the government itself. Biden, is not a leader with a moral back bone. Biden is not about defending democracy. Biden doesn’t work for, of and by, the people. There is no other candidate so committed to humanity like, Marianne. This should be a run away win for Marianne but the deeper issue in the world; is patriarchy. That’s what’s really going on here. I watched this up close and personal within the belly of Corporate America’s promotional process. The glass ceiling explanation is a smoke screen to ensure work environments’ favors the motherless worker. The ERA must put the nail on the patriarchy coffin ⚰️. The peoples of this country need a real leader and gender should no be one of the requirements. There is only one person to fill these shoes 👠 for 2024, it’s Marianne Williamson 🙏🔥🎙

Let us be crystal clear here folks:

Defeating Donald Trump is Not going to defeat the millions of his fervent followers, OR all those very many Trump invested politicians in his pocket OR The Supreme Court and Federal judges he appointed Or...to be fair, a lot of people desperate and living on the edge because of failed social policies from both political parties.

Until liberals and progressives HONESTLY examine in depth, the phenomenon that is Donald Trump and his mercurial rise to such power and influence....NOTHING is Really going to change if he should be defeated.

This upcoming Presidential Election is Not the Super Bowl where one team wins, and the losers then pack their bags and go home.

Everything is going to remain Exactly as it was before the election.

Trump will have lost in the history books - but he will claim an unfair election, forces at play conspiring against him, ad nauseum.

He will pretty much continue to do What He Is Doing Right Now.

And if Anyone is native enough to think that a jail cell will silence him....then you Really do Not understand what Donald Trump is to the millions who fervently believe in him with almost a religious zeal.

Donald Trump - self absorbed narcissistic sociopath that he is...is a symbol of defiance for the disenfranchised - the millions upon millions of Americans struggling to barely get by against a heartless uncaring monolith of a Federal Government which spends billions and billions of dollars on foreign wars...while large numbers of it's own people Suffer great deprivation and hardship.

Donald Trump won't be leaving the stage anytime soon, my liberal and progressive friends...because the fertile soil of Inequity in this once great Republic is a poisonous birthplace for tyrants, promising the people All that which their leaders have not only Not provided, but have in Large part stolen from them for many decades.

Address and Treat the problems that birth a Donald Trump, and Donald Trump will quickly cease to be a force of chaos.

Continue to ignore the will and unmet needs of tens of millions of American...and there are many more Donald Trumps just waiting in America's future.

Marianne Williamson is The Answer for all those people excluded from the Great American experiment, those people who Donald Trump Really couldn't care less about.

Treat the cause...and you eliminate the disease.

Focus on the symptoms, and the disease isn't going anywhere.

I would suggest that the true "STATE of THIS UNION " IS ITS OBVIOUS STATE OF DECAY and IT'S "ABSOLUTE" STATE of DISUNION!

An Opinion:

I have experienced, and KNOWN of this state of affairs since 1979. Your assessment of the severity of the decline really becoming serious with the "trickle down" policies of the Regan Admin, was only the "third, BUT THE ONE PROVING FATAL TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY!

Nixon's Revenue Sharing proved to be the major factor on their CORRUPTIBILITY and MANIPULATION OF THE U.S. POLITICAL ECONOMY and THE UNDERMINING OF THE SEPERATION OF POWERS ON THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS!

THE CARTER ADMINS' ambitions to give to THE poorer and needy people OF THE POPULATION THEIR DUE RIGHTS GAVE THE MODERNDAY CARPETBAGGERS the opportunity to FLOOD THE JOB'S MARKET WITH THEIR "snake oil, administrative benediction and other "expensive"

I did not listen to the State of the Nation address. I can't trust anything that is said on mainstream media. I see how they suppressed coverage of you and all you stand for. I want the real news. The true news. And that is all about our campaign for Marianne Williamson for President! They are afraid you'll have that viral moment. And they can't afford to let that truth out! Because then they'll be exposed - pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
