Marianne Williamson launches bid for DNC chair

Nothing like a good deep sage rub.

Former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson on Thursday launched a bid for chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), jumping into a crowded field of candidates vying to rebuild the party after its general election losses last month.

“MAGA is a distinctly 21st century political
movement and it will not be defeated by a 20th century tool kit. Data analysis, fundraising, field organizing, and beefed-up technology — while all are important — will not be enough to prepare the way for Democratic victory in 2024 and beyond. That’s why I have decided to run for DNC Chair this year,” Williamson wrote in a post on her Substack.

“As Chairwoman, I will work to reinvent the party from the inside out. For if we want a new President in four years, and a new Congress in two, then we must immediately get about the task of creating a new party,” Williamson wrote.

The election for the new party chair and other leadership positions within the DNC is slated to be on Feb. 1 — less than two weeks after President-elect Trump is inaugurated — during the party’s winter meeting at National Harbor, Md. The DNC will also host four forums next month for the candidates to make their cases to the sitting committee members.

What are these policies that this person is pushing? I really dislike her attacks on real democrats such as Biden and Harris. Please describe this person’s policies if she has any?
