In reply to the discussion: You know when I *know* our teenager's up to no good? [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)493. i do not know. i have not been paying attention to that angle of it. i have only been aware a
couple weeks, with clintons announcement. seeing particular behavior with the populist group and then tpp, throwing in warren.
so, from the position of obama? i have never participated in that drama of it all. i have in the past ignored most of the hyperbole. not my thing.
lately, anyone who speaks up is labeled tpp fans or whatever. lies about clinton called out, and we are all her supporters.
i am not a tpp fan, i am not a clinton supporter, and i love warren.
i am tired of all of us being grouped in that manner, because we call out the bullshit we are seeing now.
i see what you are saying "apologist" now, referencing obama. i had not even considered that angle yet.
