It is that hour when all things that haunt me come to a terrible
clarity before the light of dawn. It is the hour of truths when all my
decisions, made and not made, parade in succession before me to live
through one more time.
The idea of voting against my
conscience is so depressing to me that it is no joke that I have these
thoughts in my darkest hours. If it comes down to it next November and I
am faced and pressed by social conscience to do so, will I give up all
hope, hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton?
Because
when I see the future come to pass when the minimum wage ideal just fades into
the ether, when more jobs are shipped away and the families around me in
this small part of Iowa are further blown apart by poverty, as
corporate control rends all workplace protection asunder, and when the
war machine continues churning death for profit, and prison is our new
slavery, and when a child's choice comes down to military service as
there will never ever be affordable college, I will never have the heart
to vote again.
And I will not be the only one.

ReplyDeleteSo very true. When one looks deeper into it , one finds a serial congenital lowlife, whose husband rose to power in corrupt state, made money for others, got every political post through nepotism, with no real accomplishments other than facilitating the greed and corruption of corporations and banks. The only thing progressive about her is her criminality. But I think it has come to an end with the dozens of Top Secret and more-than Top Secret e-mails sent on an unsecured server, - unsecured fashion, and receiving hundreds of million of dollars from foreign regimes. To speculate, I must conclude that's she's been selling this information, - grievous harmful, an almost unfathomable betrayal. And with all of her conservative media donors: FOX NEWS and NEWSMAX which is tied to CIA Navy, Joint Chiefs of Staff and other U.S. Gov't agencies, there's no one to protect her now.
ReplyDeleteIf Bernie loses..honestly or dishonestly...I won't be sheep dogged in either. I fear for the movement he's started..in the same way Occupy seems to have dissipated. But you know Elle..it never did, in spite of the media saying so. Keep the faith baby, the alternative is too depressing to consider. And thanks for this wonderful post today.
