Hillary can't be trusted to not sell us down the river like Obama did with TPP

[AZ Progressive]

Because of fast track, there is a six year window of opportunity for trade deals to pass that will continue to sell us and our country to big corporations to tear it up. Our country and the wellbeing of all of us of the 99% is at stake!

If Obama, a Corporate Democrat, is attempting to sell us down the river like this, how can we trust that Hillary won't, given that she both participated in these negotiations and supported NAFTA in the past, and is pretty much a corporate democrat with lots of ties with big business?

What good is protecting the Supreme Court if corporate backed trade deals basically subvert our federal government and become the new law of the land? We are in the middle of a corporate coup d'état, dammit!

1. If Obama sold us out like you claim

why does he have an 89% approval rating among liberal dems?

[AZ Progressive]

6. #1: People don't know about the TPP, there's essentially a media blackout

The Corporate Media pretty much dictates most of the flow of information in America

#2: A liberal democrat can mean a socially liberal, economically moderate Democrat. It doesn't mean that that Democrat is economically progressive.

13. How does one thing follow from the other?

If poll numbers are good, nothing wrong could possibly have been done?

[Cali_Democrat]

17. If Obama did indeed "sell us down the river" like the OP claims...

His approval rating among liberal dems would be in the toilet.

[AZ Progressive]

18. Most Americans, including liberals, are not news / politics junkies

So they don't know about this yet due to the corporate blackout.

2. These trade agreements are slowly destroying the power of

a nation to make its own rules. The SCOTUS is part of our nations legal system. We need to protect it not give it away.

3. Well

When you ask this question, and you are serious

What good is protecting the Supreme Court if corporate backed trade deals basically subvert our federal government and become the new law of the land?

You tell me that you have little to lose in the areas that will be effected.

That you have the luxury of risking Roe overturned, voting rights further destroyed, Gay rights going in the toilet, etc.

[ibegurpard]

9. And when those rights stand in the way

Of corporate profits and an extra - national trade court has the authority to override?

[randys1]

10. Terrible, isnt it. Bad bad bad, but what does it have to do with a comment that

implies that voting for Hillary is not an option?

[ibegurpard]

19. here's what it has to do with it

I don't trust her to do what's right and not what powerful backers want her to do.

[Cali_Democrat]

4. "What good is protecting the Supreme Court"

Spoken like a truly privileged person.

[randys1]

11. And it took me way more awkward words to say what you said in TWO

[AZ Progressive]

12. Because the main selling of Hillary is because she'll protect the Supreme Court...

And that she's the safe pick to win the presidency. However...

#1: Your trusting Hillary to put a liberal on the supreme court. How about if she picks someone that is pro trade deals?

#2: It's like being concerned about money woes when there's a damn fire going on in the building you are. A corporate coup d'etat is going on in America that will threaten so many things, including our health and economic wellbeing is the more important matter unless you yourself are a part of the 1%.

5. time for some dancing

[giftedgirl77]

7. OMG Obama's so eeeeevvvviiiilllllll

[HassleCat]

8. Win some. Lose some.

Any candidate I support for any office is going to let me down once elected. Yes, some will do it more than others, and I believe Sanders will disappoint me less than Clinton. But we cannot be sure what either one will do in office. If Hillary Clinton becomes president, she will let us down more tan once, but she will sometimes come to our defense. I have to keep telling myself that.

[VanillaRhapsody]

14. You do that...

[CharlotteVale]

15. And I don't trust her not to.

[Doctor_J]

20. she can't be trusted on anything

Every week we find out about another 2-3 issues, big ones, that she's lying about. She is completely devoid of any morals

[azmom]

21. The way she changes positions, you have

To be a fool to think she will keep to her campaign positions.

[AZ Progressive]

22. BTW, I'm not saying not to vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination, a Republican president is much more painful than a ....

corporate Democrat, but a corporate Democrat is still painful.

The whole problem here is the corporate and 1% part, the super rich are treating the American people as expendable and worthless. We have to make them known that our lives matter and that this is OUR country, not theirs!

[bigwillq]

23. Hillary can't be trusted. Period.

The same goes for most politicians.
