"The Marianne Williamson Can Win" Crowd's Flawed Logic Is Crashing Against Reality

 The reality is this: "for any non-status quo candidate to have a chance, they should run outside the Democratic and Republican parties. Anyone running inside hoping to 'change the party from within' will either be absorbed or ousted." 

Most of the American left learned this after two attempts by Bernie Sanders to run for president (some of us suspected even before the 2016 and 2020 Democratic primaries, but the elections confirmed it). 

There is, however, a group that (for various reasons) can't let go. They simultaneously boost the insider strategy while turn away in disgust when offered third party solutions. They have declared Marianne Williamson the heir to Bernie Sanders (even when he has embraced Joe Biden).

Now, some of them have put out videos saying that Williamson is being ignored. On the contrary, whatever the media's doing isn't making people ignore a person who ran for office in 2020; in fact, people know and they don't prefer her to Biden:

As the poll shows, even Biden not running is enough to get Williamson to double-digits. Heck, leaving Biden out makes Kamala Harris the frontrunner! Hillary Clinton and Amy Klobuchar outpace Williamson so you can't claim sexism. And look: lefty-Dem favorites Elizabeth Warren, Stacey Abrams and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are also ahead, and as a bonus, two of them are non-white so technically they are a more diverse choice. 

So with six other female Democrats polling better than Williamson and her supporter also being fans of some of these politicians (imagine Secular Talk or Breaking points trying to convince their audience that Williamson is a better candidate than Warren, Abrams or AOC without attacking the later three), I find it hard to believe that it's the solely the fault of the Democratic Party machine and the media. 

If Williamson really wanted to make waves, she would have ran as an independent.
