I’ve been told by Very Serious Liberal Thinkers that it is a metaphysical impossibility to have a Democratic Party without Yglesism-Stancilism as its foundational ideology and that we must serve these philosophical titans hand and foot.

Realize that whatever arises is the display of dharmakaya,
The primordial nature, unbroken simplicity.
