you can believe it if you want. i don't. I'm about 99.999% certain that the people chanting at the DNC are assuming that Hillary is pro-TPP and that when she says she is against it, she is lying.

They WON the big picture already, now the work of holding the politicians accountable behind the scenes starts. What they did made them look like a bunch of petulant babies putting their issues before everyone else again. They made it way less likely that anyone will care about their ideas ever again. Because this is what they payback with when someone tries to extend the olive leaf. A knife in the back

DEMOCRATS screaming at a black man talking about BLM, his history and heritage. I am so embarrassed and so angry and so frightened.

Are they trolls? Why are they trying to disrupt the convention when they have no power to do anything about TPP?
