Williamson is a dangerous anti-intellectual demagogue

[mathematic]

People are giving her a pass due to her applause lines and her low poll standing. DON'T. That's how trump started too. She's trumpian in style (though obviously very different in policy goals).

She's denigrated policy discussion in both debates. This isn't an accident. She has the answers, believe her.

Moderator asked her why she knows how much reparations should be instead of a commission specifically made to determine that. Her answer was basically "I just know". She even said that "40 acres and a mule" would be trillions today and yet she still said her number was the right number.

She's ignored at our peril. The republicans didn't see trump coming either.

1. Another Jill Stein?

5. No, I believe she's sincere

But dangerously unsuited to be President.

2. We Need Her in the White House

To light up a giant smudge stick and fumigate the swamp gas from the place, and cast out the demons of corruption and stupidity.

After that, let the real President move in.

3. I think your worries are unfounded. There is another big difference. We are not stupid pukes. nt

11. She drew a lot of applause

and did you notice the smirk at the end of one of her comment?

Yes, she is very articulate. A public speaker, after all. And she skimmed the topics to use clever response. But, honestly, can you deal with rivaling departments? With budgets? No. All we need is love

4. I can credit her with a good performance while maintaining my conviction that she's not qualified.

Her voice is helpful, however. For Example, while she's tried to soften her anti-vaccine views and step back from previous statements, I won't forget that.

6. She's done after this

Difference between Dems and Republicans is that all the dumb people in America have been shuffled into the GOP.

Williamson might get some votes. But she has no chance at winning. Dems won’t be fooled in large numbers.


(Look for example at Jill Stein- she got almost no votes. The problem with her was that she ran as a third party and sucked voted from Hillary.)

7. She got too space-y for me at the end of her

Closing.

8. THANK YOU!!

It's amazing how many on here are impressed by platitudes and emotion. So the point is understandable but she doesn't have a chance of moving forward.

9. Democrats aren't Republicans...

That's the difference. She's only dangerous to the easily persuadable. Every candidate the party has nominated since Roosevelt has outshined, in many ways, their Republican opponent. And it's not just the modern GOP, either. Remember, the GOP put up Reagan, who was, in many ways, very similar to Trump. Reagan, in many ways, was just a more polished version of Trump.

10. Respectfully disagree.

I don't think that I ever heard of her before she entered the race. From what I've seen, she is intelligent and sincere. I think her voice should be heard. One of my sons -- who wants another candidate -- thinks so, too. I showed him an interesting thing ....9 of my facebook friends support her in the primary contest. Each is over 50, and I am 100% confident that they will all vote for whoever our nominee is. They represent an important voting block, and want to be heard. That's a good thing.

12. WHY WHY WHY would ANYONE consider a nominee with zero governmental experience...

...to go up against the man who is breaking down all the administrative structure???

Additionally, she presents as a woo juju weirdo, IMO.

What is she doing in this?
