. . . especially when it concerns the 2016 elections. This is a headline from the cult leader at ToP.
"Sanders seeks to disqualify two great liberals from convention".
Ever since I watched Scott Adams on Bill Maher the other day I've been paying more attention to what Scott has to say. His latest blog post is fascinating:
By agreeing to debate Sanders, Trump minimizes Clinton and embarrasses her. It will look to the public as if she’s hiding, afraid to debate.
You must watch this new video by the organizers of the March on DNC, the coalition of organizations planning the rallies and marches scheduled to coincide with the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this July. It provides lots of new information on the planned events scheduled for July 24-July 28 in support of Bernie and our shared progressive values and principles.

Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Part Three.
I find the teachings of Stoicism a great help in strengthening my ptsd-scrambled brain. It has been universally beneficial to regular folks for 2,500 years now.
You may find it a useful, practical guide to strengthen your mind in these turbulent times.
Previously, I had written a 3-part essay series on the Stoic teachings of the Roman Epictetus that makes for a brief grounding in Stoic practical basics. You will find it in the Resilience Group Essay Queue:

I voted in 2008 and 2012 without really being invested in the campaigns. Obama was not a Republican, so I was happy to vote for him. Between 2012 and 2016, I saw more and more how much Republicans took stances against minorities of all ranges, from ethnic to sexual, and that really hardened me against them.

A recently posted article — Mon, 05/30/2016 - 2:28pm — LaFeminista — has generated a rather wide ranging discussion. I suppose wide ranging discussions appeal to those most comfortable with this medium of exchange. I am not one of those kind of people, I am simple-minded, and quickly lose track of any semblance of logic in these discussions and am loath to participate. I prefer to examine details rather than (often oversimplified) generalizations whenever possible. That's why I do elementary particle physics — it's elementary‽
The office of the Democratic Party of Santa Mira, California was abuzz with activity as they prepared for the upcoming primary.
