In reply to the discussion: I believe Bernie should face a Democratic Primary challenger in his bid for the senate. [View all]casperthegm
(643 posts)After listing the things that the Hillary is in favor of I began listing the things that she and the party, in general, are opposed to. So, yeah, the list is accurate and it contains things you would find on a typical gop platform. Unless you think the gop opposes fracking, regime change, or Wall Street, Citizens United, etc. Or that the gop supports Glass Steagall, free college for all, or healtchare for all. Please, if you have information that contradicts this, feel free to share it.
Unintended consequences for the trade deals? You mean like jobs outsourced overseas? Yeah, that would be a big one. You'd think Hillary would have learned that lesson leading up to the TPP. You'd think she'd have learned a lot of things, but apparently not.
Oh, and regarding fracking, nobody is saying "hey, let's power our cities with rainbows and unicorn farts." But there is a point where you have to make some tough short term decisions (both politically and economically) for the benefit of everyone and the planet in the long term.
I suspect that thin skinned Hillary supporters who don't like the pushback against her coronation see those who speak their mind with passion and conviction may seen those people as thugs. I do not.
