(3,498 posts)Reform the Democratic Party and Stop the TPP!?!
Regarding "reforming the party" it's a matter of
applying pressure and displacement of entrenched
interests that are calcified or malignant.
The notion of "electability" at the expense of values
need a serious reconsideration.
Regarding the TPP, people need to continue pulling at the
treads of the legislative fabric...
Pull it into the light and work to unravel the interwoven interests
that defined the corporate warp and weft.
On the whole, singling out the president whether it's
the pretzelnit or Obama is just giving a face to the problem.
Seriously, did Obama really create the TPP or is he the face
of TPTB that dominate the executive office?
Lastly, strategically speaking, what's the maneuver?
You suggest "fight with everything we got".
Noble, but whats the end game?
What are the available resources?
What are the possible TPP timelines?
