9/4/19 discussion about a political meeting that didn't happen

Here is the link to my September 4, 2019, Twitter thread discussion about a meeting of the Colorado Democrats' outreach committee not happening.

I wanted to include this thread in this "table of contents" for a number of reasons.

I had been attending other Democratic Party meetings over the past few months. But I hadn't done any threads about them. I was just in such an uncertain place with the party that I didn't really feel like devoting my social media time to them.

Also, as I've mentioned before, even though I had been elected to the Colorado Democrats' outreach committee, it was really hard for me to get any information about the committee's meetings. And after I was finally given the info to attend the meetings, and I attended a few meetings, the meetings suddenly stopped happening. This thread marks the points where the meetings stopped happening.

And I think this shows something else -- namely, that the Colorado Democrats wondered a lot why they lost some key elections in Colorado in 2020 -- despite the fact that, admittedly, we won some very important races, like the US Senate seat.

But my feeling is, I definitely was not the only person so alienated by the Colorado Dems over the years. And, honestly, the Dems could have had a lot more of us volunteers to help them to win some more key races in 2020 if they had stopped alienating so many of us in the preceding years.

I do sometimes feel, though, like there are some folks within the Colorado Democrats who want to alienate volunteers, regardless of what it means for the success of the party.

Finally, I wanted to include this thread because I mention my efforts to get back involved in studying more spiritual things -- specifically Theosophy.

Slowly, over the following years, I have gotten back into studying more spiritual topics. I think this is important, as I think spiritual -- not religious -- actions are going to be just as important as physical, social, and political ones, in helping get our world into better shape.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.
