2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIf you want to save the planet then voting for corporacrats isn't a way to do it.
Corporacrats are pro free trade, the TPP supercedes all environmental laws and protections.
Whether it is a corporacrat or a republican we're getting the TPP, I don't believe Trump is against the TPP.
With Hillary and her fellow corporacrats winning seats more deregulation, war, and free trade is a coming. So enjoy the ride as the TPP supercedes the sovereignty of this nation.
With the TPP the supreme Court doesn't matter because the corporate tribunal will have more power than our highest court.
People really have no idea what's coming down the pike. I'm glad I started doing well before the shit hits the fan.
All I have to say is Good Luck!

(30,099 posts)know something is very wrong yet their anger is displaced to attack minorities.
At the same time they are attracted to guy who in addition to blaming minorities
he knows the trade deals hurt Americans like them, he has his own money..so one
can see his appeal..however misguided they are. I noticed when Romney gave
his speech to persuade cons to reject Trump he did not even throw them a bone,
he did not indicate in any meaningful way that the establishment would indeed
stop representing exclusively the investment class..very telling. He doesn't fear
Trump will lose he fears he will win.
Additionally we still have millions of disaffected voters across all demographics
who have not voted in a very long time..and not enough time for Bernie to sway
them, imo.
Hilary seems set to rely on..I am not Trump to win, and I am not confident
that will work much longer for Democrats. Independent voters are a crap shoot
too and they as a group are not necessarily going to vote for her.

(30,099 posts)How he goes about it and to what extent is unknown. Clinton, last night,
already spoke to looking for Sanders voters to support her to make sure a Republican
doesn't win.
She is not a candidate with an inspirational message and she has too many ties to WS. Perhaps
Brock will help her win.

(7,010 posts)That's what a good corporacrat will do.

(30,099 posts)No political movement makes gains in a straight line..so we'll see.
She has had every advantage and Bernie so many obstacles yet he has
been a formidable opponent...that success no one in the DNC should
deny but I suspect they'll keep their heads in the sand and say phew! We
warded off meaningful change...at least for now.
