(14,255 posts)our vote on the letter "D" (shades of Sesame Street).
We are also commanded to outright praise any and all policies of that "D", and any dissension is smacked down as glitter-shitting unicorns or the infantile "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" - when boy, is the definition of what is "good" amazing. Plus we are being told to shut up and vote, and don't think in the same way Faux viewers are.
This is not, IMO, going to work any more.
And anyone who considers being against the TPP, Keystone, lessening Social Security payments, letting Wall Street and corporations plunder at will - as not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good - you have drunk the Kool-Aid.
Edited to add - the infrastructure will create jobs thing - with the TPP, it will actually be illegal to only hire Americans and use American contractors and buy American materials. The contracts have to go all over the world (yes, countries outside of the TPP can buy into that) and the work will go to the lowest bidder, and the money will not stay here.
Lots of current proposals and laws and regulations will be useless when the new and reworked "trade" agreements are in place.
