I've not posted a blog since nearly 4 years ago, when I felt enraged after waiting in line 9 hours to vote in South Florida. I remember writing the post while, being completely exhausted, not mentioning that we waited in a special room having our breast-fed one-year-old son with us during the wait.

So let’s start by saying I promise to support Hillary Clinton. We all have our own reasons and my reason is that by supporting her my posts won’t get banned at this site. I’m thinking my vote is worth less than the potential influence I might have.

But with my promise of support comes a question. This is a hypothetical question, meaning I’m not saying anything bad about our candidates.

What If the sloganeering” phrase ‘oligarch’, as will be banned from this site, was hypothetically true of Clinton? Would the goal of this community to investigate and disseminate this information or rather disregard it as an inconvenient truth, in the name of party and solidarity?

What do you think?

1. We should not consider Hillary as being part of an oligarchy. Truth is less important than solidarity.

14 votes

2. It's already been considered and we know for certain Hillary is not part of an oligarchy. Just like Descartes 'I think therefore I am' this universal truth is self evident and beyond reproach.

9 votes

3. Yes, Hilary is part of the oligarchy, but it does not matter.

After surviving this line today, I'm exhausted, dumbfounded but mostly enraged at our Republican Govenor Rick Scott for reducing the early voting period in Florida. According to the official wait times tracking website, the lines were 4 hours today in Aventura. I'd reckon that most folks today waited at least double that time ... it took me 9 hours!

The line was so long it is difficult to make out, but it snaked many times back to the trees at the back of the picture and started with a winding row down a flight of stairs to the left.

I doubt most folks here will ever forget this day. Democracy is being challenged but the people will persevere and win this fight.

Republicans are so opportunistic, so greedy, so ruthless, so dishonest, so corrupt, that I'm thankful for them.

How do you compete with such a group so vile? You either fight to be more opportunistic, greedier, more ruthless, more dishonest, more corrupt, or you fight them with compassion and truth.

This president is fighting them with compassion and truth. If it was not for the Republicans we might never have been so lucky to have such a great president as Obama.
