Progressives have the right intentions and depending on if your are more ideological or pragmatic will determine how you approach what you think can be done. Like saying why not instead of why. I don't believe you need to be so divisive and critical of those who disagree with you 5% of the time as it sounds like those you criticize want the same things you do...for the most part and demanding a discussion or having a disagreement is not point of purity. Disagreeing with Obama does not mean you don't support him or think he is progressive. But he may not be progressive on all things all the time in his actions but remains progressive in his being with progressive intentions. Sounds like you're being resentful based on a few comments you disagree with. The TPP sucks and the reason it was kept hidden and secret is for that very reason...it sucks.
