In reply to the discussion: Pew Research, May 27: "Free Trade Agreements Seen as Good for U.S." [View all]djean111
(14,255 posts)We are told it doesn't exist as yet, then are told it will be swell! and then are told that yeah, it will hurt Americans but that is what we deserve.
I believe we have reached the point where all of the proselytizing about the TPP has zero effect on those of us who do not like it. And it is not like we can stop it, really. Is the threat of not supporting those Dems who vote yes on it that frightening? Is there some sort of job assignment that says everyone at DU must love the TPP? I am no longer foaming at the mouth about it, I will just very calmly never vote for any Dem who votes yes on it. Or any Dem who shilled for it and helped put it together. That is irreversible.
But to say that some of us should just happily accept it because a great number of Americans either don't know or don't care about it is ridiculous. I do not base my decisions on polls. Ever. Especially polls from people who don';t know or don't care. How ridiculous is that, really. We don't have GroupThink as yet.
