Criticism is not "bashing."
If you want to rebut what kentuck wrote then you may do so or not, but if your rebuttal consists of calling criticism bashing do you expect me to take that as gospel?
The arguments that I am seeing is that manufacturing was on the skids before NAFTA, but t appears that NAFTA kicked it to the curb; while Americans suffer. If there was some re-negotiation of NAFTA perhaps some jobs would come back to America and actually help the economy improve.
I don't really see any more trade deals to other countries helping Americans as much as it will International businesses. Any job that leaves American shores adds to our unemployment, and it only helps the corporate bottom line. And since corporations are sitting on a mountain of cash and not elevating employee pay or hiring more why give them more of an incentive with new trade deals that will further erode a bruised American workforce?
And are Dems perfect? Nobody is perfect, but I expect the Dems that I vote for, and I do vote for them, to actually work towards a progressive goal of a better America.
You joined this site to bash Repigs. Good. I expect the Dems that I vote for to fight Repigs: every fu@king day of the week.
So again criticism is not "bashing." The Democratic party and leadership is not above us. They should be subservient to us and the goals of a progressive society.
So did you want to rebut what kentuck wrote? If you don't want to then you need not reply.
