Who Runs The Democratic Party? [View all]

Does the Democratic Party represent hard working Americans, or corporations?

When I see our president, and many others secretly negotiating TPP, and shoving it down our throats with no input from labor, or environmental groups, well, the answer is plain as day.

I realize what scorched earth opposition PBO has faced from day one, and it isn't pretty. Why he sold out to the corporate overlords with TPP is beyond me. He has made a lot of progress in so many other areas.

If the Democrats gave a sh*t they would stop this TPP nightmare. They won't.

Sad isn't it?

Where do we turn?

The Democrats supporting TPP are real Democrats. My problem is to many "Real Democrats" don't seem to care about what is good for American workers, my country, my family, much less the planet. TPP is a fine example, of laborers, and the planet, and democracy itself getting screwed. Again. Letting corporations bypass local laws if the laws cause loss of profit. Insane. Totally insane. Beyond insane. It's worse than Fascism.
