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.

                    The three people are basically inseparable in that person’s mind, because OP views them all as grifters.

                    I know you disagree (I also disagree even though I also dislike Williamson), but the argument is fundamentally not a straw man

          1. I watched all of them

          2. You’re not being very specific in your criticisms. What exactly did she say that makes you think she’s a “nut”? I only care about policy when it comes to voting for someone, so if it isn’t policy related, I very likely don’t care.
