Marianne Williamson is announcing her candidacy for the Presidency tonight





Join me tonight as I formally announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president. Live in Los Angeles, the Saban Theatre 8440 Wilshire Blvd. 7:30PM


On November 15, 2018, I put out the word that I was exploring a run for the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 2020. I asked you to let me know your thoughts, and with your dollars and your energy you did. I hope you will now join me on January 28th, either live or in livestream, so I can tell you mine.

Together we can embark on an extraordinary adventure. We can show up for our country in a way we have never shown up before. And with God’s help, we can create miracles.



Hard pass.

Williamson preaches about believing in Miracles, or something like that. I saw her on Oprah a zillion years ago. I can't believe she is still around. Her brand of bullshit was figured out a long time ago.

is basing her schtick on "A Course in Miracles." Her first bestseller was "A Return To Love."

New-age mumbo-jumbo at its finest.

Nothing wrong with her positions but the God and miracles stuff makes my skin crawl.

I haven’t heard anything about Williamson for 20 years, when I would frequent new age bookstores.

Besides, I am awaiting for a new person to channel Seth so he can run for president.

A truly wonderful person and absolutely so not ready or qualified to even think about being a candidate for POTUS.
