It’s not hard to understand why Marianne Williamson got attention. She addressed America as riddled with institutional problems instead of portraying the country as fundamentally sound.

That being said, she’s an unserious, dangerous candidate, but Dems could learn from this.
For way too long candidates have had to perform gymnastics to talk about reform while basically saying nothing’s wrong. The electorate knows something is seriously wrong. They’ll reward candidates who admit it. Trump profited from this even if he didn’t mean to fix anything.
Williamson can make the case because she has nothing to lose. It conceals her ridiculous philosophy and plays to electorate. Democrats with actual plans can give up the dog n pony show of pretending this system is sound or historically fair and benefit.
