Williamson accuses DNC of 'rigging' the primary system for Biden

Marianne Williamson, the first officially declared Democratic candidate for president in 2024, accused the Democratic National Committee (DNC) of “rigging” the primary system in favor of President Biden as she begins her long-shot bid to win the party’s nomination.

“The DNC should not be rigging this system,” Williamson said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week.” “They don’t even pretend anymore. They’re not even covert about their swaying the primary season. They’re very overt about it.”

The “rigging” that Williamson railed against included the Biden-backed plan to move New Hampshire from its place as the first primary of election season and replace it with South Carolina, which Biden won overwhelmingly in 2020. Williamson said that people in New Hampshire “were not happy about that.”

Williamson welcomed an opportunity to debate Biden, though the DNC has yet to plan any presidential debates for the 2024 election.

Williamson said that Biden should debate her and give the voters a chance to decide who should be the nominee.

attacking Democrats for rigging and doing bad status quo establishment conspiracy things really doesn't work. It's passive-aggressive and similar approach has been done before.

That didn't end up changing the end result much, either.

The "rigging" conspiracy was embraced just as eagerly by tRump's voters. His campaign didn't even bother with the fake lawsuits filed during the Democratic primaries and then dropped after the MSM moved on to new states to play their role in all this there.

Marianne Williamson is a semi-celebrity dilettante who is "running" for president to sell her "brand" of whatever it is she's selling.
