Part 4 --Marianne Williamson and the Power of the Word
In this series, we confine ourselves primarily to the question of how effectively does the candidate work with the power of their word. In other words, given how they marshall universal law to their favor through the power of the word, how much do they appear to be grounded in a vision of a world that works for everyone, how likely are they to win, and when they assume the White House, what are they likely to accomplish?
My assumption is that every Democratic challenger for president shares most of the same policy positions (affordable universal health care and education, pro civil rights, combat climate change, raise the minimum wage, pro gun control). There are plenty of other writers out there that will spend their time evaluating the nuances of where Democratic candidates for president are on these issues. And most news forums will spend their time looking at the experience, the demographics and the charisma of the candidates, all of which play a role in whether they will win.
Here are my rankings of the candidates I've thought closely about (not all of whom I've written a whole post about and all of whom I reserve the right to change my mind about ). The 4 charts below are incorporated in the chart at the top. Obviously this is completely nonscientific and just my own subjective analysis. But I wanted to give my relative rankings so that you could see how they stack up on what I care about.
What is being evaluated here is the degree to which candidates speak as if they are here to create or reveal a word that includes and works for every person, regardless of who they are
