General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The defenders on the TPP: "You don't know that" and "It's just speculation". Bullfuckingshit. [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)How did you do that? If you can't be against something before it "exists", then you can't be for it either. Were you against Romney being president before the election took place? I suspect you were. How did you do that?
If you really believe that one can't express their disagreement over something that is being discussed then you don't understand at all how democracy works. Or how it is supposed to work. Of course you can be against something before it is an actual law, which I presume to be what you meant. The ideas and plans exist, therefore that is what we are against. So yes, we can be against TPP very easily as it is a bad and dangerous idea.
Not to mention the fact that if it exists as law or as a treaty then it is too late to protest it.
Or are you saying that you don't believe we should ever let our elected officials know how we feel about something? We should just abdicate all our responsibilities to those "who know best"?
How exactly do you think a representative democracy works?
