Taking a politics break till the debates, or: Bye (for now) Felicia!

I've been checking DU and all the usual Dem. watering holes a little too much -- refresh, refresh, refresh, and I'm needing a breath of fresh air. I can't see Trump's face, I can't look at any more poll cross-tabs. Hard to see your country maybe-just-possibly destroy itself

So I am buying my sanity three ways:

1. Telling anyone who is reading this who likes Jill Stein three words: "You dumb fuck!"

2. Avoiding political media/blogs till the debates

3. Donating $25 (again) to Hillary. After all, I'm With Her.

Fight the good fight! Looking fwd. to debate #1!

Progressive values like take care of your neighbor, treat people decently, accept difference and "act like somebody." Restores my sanity.
