    I love how up until yesterday, they posted about every poll like it was decree, and today, polls be damned, Oprah’s spiritual advisor needs a shot.

    Honestly though, I do hope it’s an open convention, even though Harris looks like she’s got backing from all angles.

      Oh, Williamson can try. I don’t begrudge her. She’s just not gonna win because she’s seen as the nutjob and has been since 2020.

          Yeah she kinda cray cray.

          I’ll be blunt: I don’t want someone who thinks “crystal energy fields” are a thing anywhere near the nuclear football. It was harrowing enough having the orange nutjob in charge of it for 4 years.

            She says she’s never even owned a crystal, and the whole “crystal lady” thing is a media smear.

            None of her books say anything about crystals.

              Ok, I’ll be more blunt:

              I don’t think a “spiritual advisor” has appropriate or pertinent experience to lead anything outside of a spiritual or religious organization.

                That’s not the only thing on her résumé. Back in the ‘80s, she formed a charity for people with AIDS called Project Angel Food, and a lot of her support today comes from gay men who remember Project Angel Food.

                Project Angel Food is still running today, but Williamson is no longer involved.
