Pres. Obama: Why are you pushing the Koch Supported Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)?

69. So what if both parties have problems? I don't deny THAT, not at all.

Doesn't disprove what I said, though, not in the least.

The good cop bad cop show is for the people, so they can feel good about continuing to vote, thinking it actually makes a difference.

This is, undoubtedly, what they want us to think. Apathy is their best friend, and we had to learn this the hard way back in the '60s when LBJ lost to Nixon(sure, many of the youngsters were out on the streets for the Dems, but guess who won anyway?).

They needed a Dem because that's the only way that they could not have liberals up in arms, moderates as well. People felt so relieved that a Dem, and an extremely charming, educated and articulate Dem who they felt they could trust and depend on, after whose election they breathed a sigh of relief about, that they got complacent. They just believed that with Obama in office it was going to be okay. And that's the perfect scenario for TPTB to start implementing what they want.

Again, here's the problem with this: they actively TRIED to steal the 2012 elections, not just through outright fraud but with voter suppression and other tactics. And if it hadn't been for the dedicated push, and the fact that someone actively interfered with said election theft attempts, we might be discussing President Romney today. When you look at all the evidence, it's not hard to come to the conclusion that I have: They didn't want Obama to win another term and now they're doubling down on the damage control and contingency plans, since Plan A failed so badly.

We may have a long way to go, but we're far from doomed, as of yet. And frankly, much of this NSA hoo-hah ended up being used more of a distraction, anyhow.....and sadly, it looks like the same thing may have been true for the economic issues as well; where they've been trying to hit us the hardest, is really on the social front, and if we were to ever lose that battle, then we'd run a truly great risk of losing the war as a whole. On the up side, if we *win* on that front, then our other battles will be easier to fight.
