Can We Win? (w/ Carlos Cardona & Marcurius Byrd) - FULL VIDEO

This week, Briahna spoke to the New Hampshire and South Carolina state directors for Marianne Williamson's 2024 campaign about what it would take for a progressive to win, and whether it's possible given what we know about how the DNC put the finger on the scale in the last two Democratic primaries. What lessons were learned from how Bernie operated in South Carolina? Do the changes to the primary schedule improve Marianne's chances in New Hampshire? And should progressives invest emotionally if not financially in this race? An insider view of the campaign you wont get anywhere else.

"We need somebody who does not believe in war," says Carlos, but Marianne does believe in this proxy war in Ukraine to the extent that she supports continuing to send weapons to the corrupt and arguably fascist Ukrainian government, enriching US arms makers at the expense of the socioeconomic programs she claims to support. Briahna, you didn't mention the many on the left who won't support Marianne's candidacy because she evidently thinks the USG has a legitimate role in policing the world: she has fallen into line with the Democratic establishment and the Neocons in supporting the USG's bogus role in this proxy war, which is bringing the world to the brink of nuclear conflagration. robertorwellhand.substack.com

Do both of these brothers agree with Marianne's support of the USG's role in the proxy war?

This is the perfect campaign for PMC pseudo-leftists that will utterly fail. Just the sheer notion that Williamson, who has zero credibility with workers on the ground, should receive $1 or one vote, is ludicrous. There are better actions you can take to feel better about yourselves in your safe spaces. I've always had a problem with Gray and others in her media circle shilling for the Democratic Party in their whole [the Dems suck, but...] shtick. But this is now getting out of hand. The only real purpose of a channel like this is to help people grow empowered on real working-class, leftist issues. That's why I decided to give $5 a month. But I cannot in good faith financially support a mechanism that distracts from real left endeavors for some kook running a failing presidential bid.

When the New Hampshire guy said when they go low we go high It was at moment I knew there may be a problem. The South Carolina man’s plan (in my opinion) doesn’t meet the needs of the moment. This is fine for a congress or senate run but a candidate can’t feasibly spend all that time going to 30 member community leaders meetings. I don’t have the answers but that ain’t it sir. (From a Mississippi man)

Yes. The "when they go low we go high" was ironically enough a low moment.

Meh, I won't be too harsh on these guys. I've worked shittier jobs for less pay. Nonetheless I shall say that it will be a cold day in hell before I vote for a Democrat (or a Republican), even in a primary. Insofar we are talking about electoral politics, I shall again implore you to seek and vet a third party or independent candidate. Ballotpedia indicates that several left-of Democratic Party candidates have registered to run, including Green Party, Communist Party, Peace and Freedom, and unaffiliated candidates. Can we reach out to them instead of bickering about whether or not we should vote for Williamson in a rigged Democratic Party primary that will likely block Williamson from appearing on a debate stage?

Agree 100% _ I feel like Brie is trying to convince "someone" that Marianne's run is a fool's errand.

RFK Jr. hinted at a presidential run in NH. He’s visited east Palestine and is now suing the Biden admin, and numerous govt organizations. So he is suing Biden and the establishment on behalf of the American people for a violation of our 1st amendment rights. It’s actually pretty brilliant. This lawsuit for no monetary gains allows him to introduce himself on a grand scale,determine his reception without officially running…if he wins he just pitted Biden against the American people with him as our defender. And if he loses but people are up in arms about the censorship regime and the battle continues into the democratic primary. He does have a reputation for making huge corporations accountable. And Matt Tiabbi just reported his site is actually “all reportable” meaning it’s not misinformation as we were taught to believe. It’s interesting nonetheless especially given he has the Kennedy name. He could pull bipartisan support.

Why isn't anyone talking about him being a potential contender

Marianne should fire these people....

Agreed. It’s pretty maddening to see how much attention Brie continues to give this.

There is no excuse for being for this war. It is not even a tough decision. If you are supporting this war, like MW is clearly is (though in a weasel way), then you would have been on the wrong side of the Vietnam war, for sure.

Poison Pilliamson is "Anti-War*" in theory - she's against all the past wars BUT she's ALL IN on current wars. Just give her another 20 years and she will be against the Ukraine proxy war too!

I thought the same thing. It's easy to anti-war against wars from decades ago. What about what we're doing now? What about the sanctions on Afghanistan that are causing starvation? What about the illegal US occupation of Syria?

“Some kook”. U obviously know ZERO about Marianne. Amazing how you Dismiss her! I wonder who u r.

She is a kook. She also has zero credibility with the organizers around the country. That's because she could give a damn and only cares about the spotlight. If you wonder who I am, I'm the Pittsburgh Poet. Feel free to check out my own Patreon.
