\"\"<\/a>No synchro here, at least not yet. or there’s a synchro I’ve missed. That said, here’s my take:<\/p>\n

The difference between the Republican and Democratic conventions could not be more striking, more stark.<\/p>\n

The Republican convention\u2019s theme was simple: you\u2019re on your own. The Democratic convention\u2019s theme is also simple: what affects you, affects me, affects all of us. Sounds like Indra\u2019a net<\/a>, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

What you do, as an individual, ripples outward to eventually touch my life and the lives of others. As Clinton said in his speech this evening, \u201cWe\u2019re all in this together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republicans don\u2019t recognize that word, together. <\/em>\u00a0In fact, the only together<\/em> the Republicans recognize is to kick Obama out of office.\u00a0 It is why the Republican Congress nearly brought the country to its knees<\/a> during the December 2011 in a negotiation about the debt.<\/p>\n

Even though Obamacare is built upon the program Romney initiated in Massachusetts, the Republican candidates vow to overturn it. Yet, under Obama\u2019s Affordable Health Care Act, insurance companies can no longer reject you for pre-existing conditions; there\u2019s no cap on payments; children can remain on their parents\u2019 health care plan to the age of 26; Medicare benefits are not reduced; the doughnut hole that cost seniors more in prescription drug costs is closed. And that\u2019s just for starters.<\/p>\n

Yes, I wished the bar had been higher, that Obama had started off with Medicare for all. But in order to extend unemployment insurance for millions of people, he had to compromise. It\u2019s taken me a while to get that, but I get it now. I think, historically, that when we look back, \u00a0Obama\u2019s accomplishments, particularly because he was up against an intractable congress since 2010, midway into his term, will be extraordinary.<\/p>\n

Right now, the Romneys have raised $100 million each month for the last four months. Think about that. $400 million far surpasses the GDP of many countries. It could buy you a country, a string of islands, a seat on the next rocket to Mars. It could buy you new organs, a new face, a new identity with a very fat bank account. Hell, maybe that much money can buy you a new soul. The infamous Koch brothers are spending $400 million in their superPACS.<\/p>\n

This election is about you\u2019re on your own society<\/em> versus shared opportunities and we\u2019re all in this together society<\/em>. What\u2019s your choice? Are we a nation of isolated individuals pitted against each other in phony competitions or are we all in this together?<\/p>\n

I know my choice. No, Obama is not perfect. Yes, he has made mistakes. Yes, he entered as a young, na\u00efve senator. But his version of reality speaks more strongly to me than anything the Republicans have said. The Repubs hope to marginalize women. They intend to hurl us back to the dark ages of back-alley abortions. They don\u2019t want us to have health care screenings that might save our lives. They \u2013 mostly aging white men \u2013 seek to govern women, their lives, their bodies.<\/p>\n

In \u00a0Indra\u2019s net, we are all connected. Your choices affect me, your thoughts impact mine, \u00a0we don\u2019t share just a planet, but a reality. <\/em><\/p>\n

When you compare the two agendas, the choice should be clear. For those of you who think it\u2019s a done deal, that your vote won\u2019t matter, think again.<\/p>\n

What kind of country do you want to live in?<\/p>\n
