if it weren't for the Dems pushing job destroying policy shoulder to shoulder with them. TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) is a great example, as is NAFTA and GATT and other job destroying trade policy. I would epect shit like that from the rethugs....it is painful that Dems are on board and pushing. This is the most disturbing description of a Democratically supported policy I may have ever read..

"The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a massive new international trade pact being pushed by the U.S. government at the behest of transnational corporations."
