Davis’s surprise win at a deadlocked Democratic convention in 1924. The notion that Williamson, in her second run at the prize, can seize the Democratic nomination remains far-fetched, as she’d probably be the longest shot in American history to claim a major-party nomination, after maybe John W. And the one that mentions student debt and weed also includes a pledge to beef up the National Labor Relations Board, cut all government contracts with union-busting companies, and otherwise do everything she can as president to boost organized labor. But so have others that speak more holistically about the political system and the corruption that limits the ability of people to have their voices heard or their collective will translated into public policy. Some reasons for the support are obvious: Videos of her pledging to wipe out student debt and remove marijuana from Schedule I have predictably gone viral. “I am obsessed with it,” said Jessica Burbank, a leftist political TikTok star who posts as of the Marianne mania. A scroll through the popular account up multiple Williamson videos, all generating eye-popping numbers for her treatises on universal health care, corruption, gun rights, or abortion, including nearly a million views for whatever this is.Ī recent poll found Williamson hovering above 20 percent with voters under 30 - far higher than she reached in the crowded 2020 field - suggesting the buzz on TikTok is translating into real support or that real support is producing the buzz on TikTok. But there are also endless Marianne stan (Maristanne?) accounts - and among them - that post her speeches and rack up massive numbers.
Williamson has only posted 65 videos on TikTok, yet has drawn more than 11 million views, according to a TikTok data counter. If engagement on TikTok is any indication, a Democratic presidential primary held today among people under 50 would result in a landslide for the bestselling author now making her second bid for the nomination.
The kids may or may not be alright, but one thing is clear: They are super into Marianne Williamson.
