"In Cato\\u2019s time, Caesar\\u2019s partisans wanted to cast his usurpation of the Republic as somebody else\\u2019s fault. The system is broken, they said. The old ways don\\u2019t work anymore. Don\\u2019t blame Caesar, it\\u2019s really Cato\\u2019s fault, they said. He is too uncompromising, too resistant to change. Why couldn\\u2019t he be more like Cicero, willing to go along? By being so difficult, they said, he forced Caesar\\u2019s hand. "

Ryan explains the danger of being like these partisans, and how you can avoid resembling them today, in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

We want to encourage every Daily Stoic podcast listener to make an informed vote in your elections, as safely and as early as possible. Also, no matter what country you live in, it\\u2019s a Stoic\\u2019s duty to be engaged and active in their government and so it\\u2019s never a bad time to be reminded to vote. The New York Times made this tool for figuring out the options to vote in every state, and Slate published an article on the best way to make sure your vote counts.
