(1,967 posts)minorities, gays and women aren't necessarily liberal. I think people who oppose tpp are right, because that is corporate dictatorship. I think most are opting not to vote at all. This favors republicans. Those that vote may vote for them, but they aren't a majority of eligible voters. I do think there are people who are socially liberal who are economically reactionary. Look at pro-gay libertarians. Frankly Obama and Hillary are economic reactionaries. I think they may well have reshaped what is called the democratic base in there own image. There are lots of silicon valley glibertarians in Obama's corner. Many were on his campaign team. You are into strawmanning people to support your own right wing agenda. You support ukrainian revolutionaries in an unquestioning manner even though they are giving the ukrainian people the most dreadful austerity cuts. In the ukraine elderly people no longer have pensions. There are no longer any safetynets for the poor.
