"We have far more lovers than haters in this country. Those who hate mean business... now it's time for those of us who love to love with conviction. It is time for those of us to love to organize and it is time for those of us who love to mean business." @marwilliamson

"America is a very powerful country.... we can not afford for our conversation to be superficial/childish/irresponsible... because everything we do has consequences... What we do comes back to us... What our country does comes back to us..." @marwilliamson

"We are way too close to the cliff. We can't just back away from the cliff. We need to get out of the vicinity of the cliff. We're not living in a time where incremental change is needed - we need a serious disruption... and we need it now." @marwilliamson

Marianne is now speaking on the amoral American economy that has no human responsibility. "There is a disconnection from love and that is causing chaos. The political system has become a handmaiden to this system. This is an inversion to an aristocracy." @marwilliamson

Marianne is discussing the issues in America that will remain issues so long as short term profit maximization take priority over anything else. No healthcare No common sense gun legislation No fight on the climate crisis No peace creating agenda All to benefit corporations.

"Democracy does not just give us rights... it gives us responsibility... when those words were inscribed in the Declaration of Independence, 41 of them were slave owners.... that dichotomy has always been with us."
