I didn't watch the debate last night. What's up with the TPP?

Was it mentioned? Discussed in depth?

Any buzz about the final text being released in New Zealand?

I'm deeply concerned about it because if it passes, "Democracy" and "Elections" will be relics of our former Democracy, since the PTB's decided it's better to just give up any pretense of fulfilling the hopes and dreams of our Founding Fathers and just let multi-national corporations RUN THE ENTIRE PLANET TO SERVE THE INTERESTS OF THEIR STOCK HOLDERS!

Seriously, all 320,000,000 of us should be APOPLECTIC about this final take over of the world by predatory capitalism. At least it will prevent us from wasting so much time on POLITICS, since it won't been needed any more.

Sanders referred to it indirectly ("disasterous free trade policies") but not specifically Armstead Nov 2015 #6
That's right. I wonder if it was a question in one of the envelopes valerief Nov 2015 #8

Like a debate, but the candidates don't respond to each other.

The next debate is sometime next week. The 14th, I think.

not chosen. Probably not. I saw something on DU today that said MSNBC canceled Ed because he was dissing the TPP.
