Is it against the TOS to call her a crackpot? Asking for a friend.

One of the two that couldn't be convinced not to run or drop out Real Quick. Dean Phillips was the other.

She got some votes as presidential candidate.

Well, today is Saturday. Wonder if she picked up any???


.....Williamson’s delegate play is centered on this idea. Earlier this week, she released a video outlining her message to delegates and suggesting they can “open up this convention” by sending letters to the DNC. Williamson stressed that these letters would need to be “notarized” and submitted before Friday.

“The only chance now to stop this is for you who are delegates to use your power and to step in,” Williamson said in the clip, adding, “You do that by sending a communication … saying that you as a delegate to this convention no longer automatically pledge your vote to Joe Biden, that, according to the dictates of your conscience and your firm belief that we’re in trouble regarding the election in November, you want to hear from any other candidates, you want to open up this convention.”

In her video, Williamson stressed that she was not calling for delegates to pledge to support her.

“What I’m asking you to do is to just pledge to opening up the convention,” Williamson said. ...................

Every Tom, Dick and Susy would be throwing their hat into the ring. It would be an unprecedented shit show of immense proportions. Corporate media would absolutely love the spectacle.

It’s their nature; they can’t help it. That’s why they’re best avoided.

Those who publicly pushed for Biden to step aside need to quickly retract that idiotic move, and move on.

In any case her suggestion isn't going to happen, just like her candidacy

No problem. No electoral college no Republican presidents. One person, one vote. The most novel of ideas.
