https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/451916-marianne-williamson-campaign-uses-fundraising-email-to-help-rival-2020Williamsons campaign email Sunday asked recipients to support former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), who is roughly 10,000 individual donors short of the threshold to qualify for the next round of Democratic debates, slated to be held at the end of July.
You may not have heard of him because he hasnt yet qualified for any debates, the email reads, referring to Gravel. But his voice is important.
The email, signed by Williamson, touts Gravels body of work in Congress and diverse and provocative voice as reasons he should be on the debate stage next to her.
Thanks to you, Im on the debate stage. And thats why today Im using this platform, granted to me by you, to ask for your help, the email states as it asks donors to consider giving Gravel a dollar to increase his individual donor count.

(5,477 posts)Some of the wingnut sites had been telling their supporters to send money to Williamson a while back to get her over the threshold and onto the debate stage.
It appears that they want to have a huge number of Democrats fighting among themselves for as long as possible, diluting the messages of the strong candidates they are scared shitless of, and creating chaos in the entire process. TV debate time is scarce enough...and every minute that they give to someone without a chance in hell of winning is another minute that one of the serious candidates can't get their message out.
If the debates don't raise the bar for participation, this will continue. The need to seriously start the winnowing process.
