Ah yes, Oprah’s spiritual advisor with zero political experience. Her national recognition sums up to being on TV. I don’t want to ridicule her (and you for saying so) so I won’t dig into her political campaign in 2020 and her California disaster. You can find debate videos on YouTube.
Cenk Uygur
The constitution is clear; you cannot run if you’re not born in the United States (or at least the McCain’s loosely defined US soil). I’m not gonna dig further there either (I had to google him) because just that is disqualifying and there’s no more argument about whether he’s a serious candidate or not.
That’s the best you could do? You want the DNC to promote those two?
Being familiar with her history, I’m not a huge Williamson supporter personally but I do think she and the other primary challengers deserve a platform to promote themselves and their policy positions. At the least, Williamson challenges the establishment centrists from the left, which I am greatly in favor of doing.
The constitution is clear - it has the capacity for amendments to change it over time. The 14th amendment gives naturalized citizens equal protection under the law. This is not ambiguous at all, they are citizens by all rights. This gives Uygur the ability to hold office, including President. This has already been settled case law in lower courts. Uygur is challenging it in higher courts now due to state DNC commissions removing him from the ballot arbitrarily, thus preventing his ability to garner delegates. But alas, wouldn’t you know it - the courts have opted to delay deciding on this until after the election. Even just recently the Supreme Court stated they don’t think states should have the ability to remove candidates from the ballot based on perceived constitutional issues, which also supports his case.
The fact that you have to google Cenk just proves my point - corporate media will not allow for any inkling of challenge from the left. They refuse to platform leftists, and so unless a person is actually informed on politics, they won’t know about these types of challengers. However, if you’re an establishment outsider on the right, you get unlimited free airtime (Trump). The conservative bias is oppressive, and the reason American political discourse has moved so far to the right, despite the generally progressive nature of the American people (backed by lots of polling data). If you take a moment to consider who owns these multinational media conglomerates, this shouldn’t surprise you.
