Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can you please elaborate on that? I'm curious.
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.
Self help author. She’s a grifter. Anyone that does that shit is.
So you don't have any actual evidence that she's a grifter? Okay.
I bet you’re a big fan of Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson too
Nice strawman.
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
I was very specifically replying to that one comment.
I am aware.
