Marianne Williamson: The Democratic Elite Should Resign

We have to ask ourselves: What happened to the critical thinking on the part of the average Democratic voter? When did we become the party who just said: Okay, whatever the DNC says! What has happened with the Democratic Party is the nightmare that George Washington and John Adams were afraid of. The role of the party is supposed to be to stand to the back, let the voters decide, and then the party steps in. But if your main media partners suppress, blacklist, de-amplify anybody but their chosen candidate; if they are willing to lie and smear anyone else to make sure that nobody even wants to hear them, even if they know they exist, then where we go is where we got to. They’ve done this twice. They did it in 2016 by suppressing Bernie Sanders. I don’t know who would have won that primary if they had taken their fingers off the scale, but I do think Trump would never have been president either way, because the Democrats would have shown up, more happily.

Trump's re-election rests solely on the shoulders of the Democratic Party.
