On some level, I think they do it because they know I am. But I\u2019m serious about things that challenge their preferred worldview. I\u2019m serious about our having the highest poverty rate of any advanced democracy; serious about the fact that the majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck; and serious about one in four Americans living with medical debt. <strong>I\u2019m serious about the fact that America is on the wrong track, and status quo politics is simply a path to making things worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; padding:10px 0px\"><a class=\"substack-button\" style=\"height: 25px;\" href=\"https:\/\/secure.actblue.com\/donate\/marwilliamson2024?refcode=substack_on_mw24\"><span class=\"btn-text\">SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yet our current political system is institutionally resistant to a genuinely anti-corporatist message. Its minions have decided that economic values should take precedence over democratic and humanitarian ones. And we\u2019re simply not supposed to question that. <strong>I\u2019m saying things, quite simply, that we\u2019re not supposed to say.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m saying things on this campaign that I believe need to be said. And I\u2019m staying in the race because of things that need to be done. If you agree with me, please help me in whatever way you can. <strong>Whether it\u2019s one dollar or a thousand dollars, your contribution will make the difference whether this campaign can keep on keeping on.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m putting my blood, sweat and tears into this campaign &#8211; from waking up every morning to the insults and smears the likes of which I\u2019ve never experienced, to putting every resource of body, mind and spirit that I can muster into the race. Emotionally and psychologically, presidential politics is like a blood sport. So much so that the easier path would be to simply give it up now.<\/p>\n<p>Yet I don\u2019t feel in my heart that I\u2019m supposed to do that. A small still voice within me keeps saying, \u201cGo on. Have faith.
