Showing Original Post only (View all)hate to break it to you,but the TPP has been a done deal for years now [View all]
This isn't a negotiation to *get us the best deal*,this is simply a deal to decide which rich motherfuckers get what part of the pie....that's it.Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
We,the 99%,have no political power,we are too busy keeping the bills paid and trying to make sure we don't end up on the streets when we get old.This is a game we are going to lose.
Until we stand up and shut down the money,until we take to the streets and force change,not just here but in all the power centers worldwide,nothing will change.
Hate to break some hearts but that is reality

It seems closer to "bluffing" to me, but if you want to pass it off as "assertive"
