Marianne Williamson

The statement 'And what did you get? Perhaps you should wake up and smell the coffee' is a direct reply to a conversation about voting preferences within the Democratic Party. It engages with a public issue, namely political choices and party affiliation, and thus constitutes public discourse.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not appear to cause direct harm, but the dismissive tone could be seen as unconstructive.
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but it does lack respect for the dignity of others by being dismissive. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it dismisses the other person's viewpoint without engaging in meaningful dialogue. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. It uses a dismissive tone and does not address the argument substantively, which can be seen as a minor personal attack. [-1]
