34. So the left objects to the TPP and the Con-Dems try to disparage the left for such.

So we have heard the objections of the left, but what are the arguments by the Con-Dems? Their only argument is that the left shouldnt be against something until after it happens. In other words the Corps are pointing a gun at our head and the Con-Dems exclaim that we shouldnt panic, but wait and see.

By the way, the Con-Dems dont like to be called Con-Dems, The Third Way, the DLC'ers, etc., so they have started calling themselves "the left", and those of us to the left of them are the "crazy left". Yes, it's a bit confusing because they have had to change their "the left is too radical" meme to "the crazy left is too radical." Of course if you ever ask them to explain what is radical about the "crazy left", all you will get is crickets.

Remember, support progressive groups in lieu of the DNC, DSCC, or DCCC. We must fight for the control of the Democratic Party Machine.
