We have built a toxic society in this country. Land use, transportation, housing, food policy, income inequality - These and more are the reasons our “health care” system is unaffordable and out of control.

No one else, over both nights, talked about the UPSTREAM causes of the health care problem and of other maladies in our country and the world.

It’s a shame that voice for a holistic view is marginalized as simply kooky.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

I have never heard of her either. How in the world did she make it anyway ???? trueblue2007 Jun 2019 #80

Williamson is not a grifter in any way obamanut2012 Jun 2019 #23

She is an anti-vaxxer RhodeIslandOne Jun 2019 #84

Actually, I think she is talking about how toxic our environment is - because it's all about money womanofthehills Jun 2019 #88

How is she a grifter? She's unqualified, but a grifter? IluvPitties Jun 2019 #27

Anti-vaxxer RhodeIslandOne Jun 2019 #85

She isn't a grifter. madaboutharry Jun 2019 #76

OMGOMG! Your post made me laugh so hard. I needed that. nt emmaverybo Jun 2019 #30

If you had a print out of what she said and did not know who or where it came from, most of us would wasupaloopa Jun 2019 #33

She made a few cogent points. But, no, if you had her transcript any thinking adult would not hlthe2b Jun 2019 #35

Most people here know nothing about her. She is my kind of person wasupaloopa Jun 2019 #37

She may well be "my kind of person"... Just not my kind of President. No more celebrities with hlthe2b Jun 2019 #38

I don't want her for president. It's just that the intelligentsia at DU has ruled her a kook wasupaloopa Jun 2019 #40

well, she didn't exactly come across in such a way as to exclude it. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #41

I like her - she's coming from another direction, but she cares - NYT today womanofthehills Jun 2019 #87

I think she'd be fun in person to hang around with but she's singularly unqualified for President hlthe2b Jun 2019 #44

Ignore her anti-vax crap. IluvPitties Jun 2019 #48

We can't. Children are being put at risk from anti-vax zealots. Vaccines are a core part of wellness hlthe2b Jun 2019 #50

Ignoring that shit is dangerous. MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #53

Why the hostility? IluvPitties Jun 2019 #54

So you make it personal? MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #55

Obama did it very well, Bill Clinton too IronLionZion Jun 2019 #65

But try to name a ReThug who lets the love shine True Dough Jun 2019 #67

The conservative mind appeals to fear and glorifies the past. Liberals are more optimistic IronLionZion Jun 2019 #68

Agreed True Dough Jun 2019 #69

I enjoy her attitude and worldview IronLionZion Jun 2019 #61

yeah... druidity33 Jun 2019 #83
