2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why Walker won in WI, and what Dems need to do right now. [View all]AnotherMcIntosh
(11,064 posts)12. We should now all SUPPORT UNIONISM? All of us? Should we oppose the next "free-trade" agreement?
Will you join those of us that already support unionism and oppose so-called "free-trade" agreements?
Or should we only all support unionism until the details of the next wage-lowering, anti-union "free-trade" agreement are finalized and the signatures are ready to be added?
Do you realize that another wage-lowering, anti-union "free-trade" agreement is in the works? No doubt, the super-rich and Rmoney supports it.

Maybe he means that it wasn't necessary for the DNC to directly provide the $500K Barrett requested.

They contributed at least $1.4 million through various means and more would not have helped. Play

They didn't contribute $1.4 million to Barrett's campaign after the primary. They had the money.

The DNC and MANY OTHERS helped. You risked and lost. Learn from it and move on. No blame games.

You say, "Obama supports free-trade." Now he does, but not too loudly. This is different from his

I do not agree that Obama's views have changed. I say that his expression of them has.
