The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people’s lives better.

      Self help author that rose to prominence on Oprah as a “spiritual advisor”, she should be viewed the same as Dr Phil, Dr Oz, and Rachel Ray

        And? How does this make her a grifter? How does this make her like Donald Trump? How does this mean that she scams people like Dr Phil, Dr Oz, etc.?

        I vote for people because of the policies they believe, and I think that she actually believes them, and has for a long time.

        Other than Cornell West, who is running as a third party, I think Williamson is the best candidate on the ballot so far.

        And I say this as a non-spiritual athiest.

                  It’s not a straw man because his central claim is that all self-help gurus are inherently grifters.

                    The straw man was him/her claiming that I must like Andrew Tate or Jordan Peterson (two people who I am not a fan of) because I like Marianne Williamson.

                    Being a self-help whatever doesn’t mean that you are automatically a grifter, it just means that you write self-help shit.

          You clearly didn’t watch her debate performances in the 2020 primaries. She’s a nut.
