Everytime I hear an argument about why millennials are apolitical, not really helping any sort of progressive agenda, are whiners, etc., I immediately turn off… It’s such a tired argument that both political parties engage in. It’s super smug coming from Kyle and Marianne, who sort of spend this segment praising each other. Krystal probably felt this also, considering she pushed back on that point. Considering Marianne is preaching solidarity, it seems weird to me that she would make some weird “gen-z is better than millennials” argument because she met some 17 year old Starbucks worker who knows something about labor history and economics. Smh I would never vote for her to be Pres.

Not interested in EVER supporting the corrupt democrats again. Marianne has talked down to activists and those trying to end our two party system so is someone I would NEVER consider even if she ran third party. So called "progressives" and other dems are killing our country along with the repubs.

This interview is a joke. Learn something about the people you have on instead of accepting their lies about being on the left without even questioning them.

Third party, please. Many of us passionate progressives are getting sick of giving our hard earned money to progressive candidates, & the corp Dems shut us down with their PACs, bs, & good ol' boy network. Agree, get together as a "community", aka party.

I sat on this for two days but have only grown more disturbed by what I heard in this interview....so here goes: I'm a boomer with a millennial daughter. Neither she nor I will give the Democrats (or Republicans) another chance. Krystal, you were correct in trying to evoke empathy for millennials. Despite what we boomers lived through during the 60's, many of us were able to purchase homes, pay off our college debt without undue difficulty (we didn't incur that much debt to begin with), and work in fulfilling jobs that came with a pension no less. Although we won't miss out on the climate catastrophe altogether, we'll likely be dead before the very worst suffering occurs and our wealth will cushion us somewhat, in any case. Though we watched our parents speaking in hushed tones during the Cuban missile crisis, the danger they faced is miniscule compared to the degree of chaos and risk that our children will face as they witness the death throes of the US Empire. Truly, we are living in a uniquely dystopian period in history. Politics as usual--i.e., a two party system--is not the answer. We boomers can do no better than to repent and seek to understand. It is under our watch that it has come to this. A little humility is in order. Very disappointed in Marianne Williamson's lack of empathy and understanding of the unique challenges faced by millennials, and subsequent generations.

I always love listening to Marianne, she's just a real life kind person and there just aren't enough of them out there.

Rank voting might be a compromise.

When they talk about "The Economy" on television what they're talking about is how well the wealthy are doing. Since most of us live in the struggling 70%, we're not feeling it.
