Big tent, priorities vary Dem2 May 2016 #1

Exactly. Never mind back alley abortions, SCOTUS, and criminal justice reform. JaneyVee May 2016 #4

So you won't commit to supporting Clinton's positions because they are not important enough? nm rhett o rick May 2016 #17

I support trade agreements. They are imperative to our economy. JaneyVee May 2016 #21

"our economy"... malokvale77 May 2016 #61

Yes. We do need to restore business to the role Hortensis May 2016 #78

so we're supposed to support someone who says they'd compromise abortion and makes money azurnoir May 2016 #36

I think you are exactly correct. Those that side with the wealthy 1% are looking for strong (tough) rhett o rick May 2016 #6

Is that theory from Psych 101 or a cut and paste from Reddit? bettyellen May 2016 #14

It's a broken record. zappaman May 2016 #49

This lazy cut and paste "authoritarian" crap blows my mind. It is kind of obvious it comes from a bettyellen May 2016 #52

Don't do that unless you have a fresh batch of donor livers ready to go... FSogol May 2016 #54

Authoritarian is govt control. JaneyVee May 2016 #23

Exactly. It appears to me that some people don't care at all about Clinton's positions rhett o rick May 2016 #28

I'm here to tell you that these arguments with Hillarians Ferd Berfel May 2016 #50

If you have no answer, it's easier to pretend the question doesn't exist. n/t Binkie The Clown May 2016 #24

Exactly. That's why you won't see them defending Clinton's positions. nm rhett o rick May 2016 #30

I'm confused - pro-con shows that every candidate running this cycle is against TPP. Dem2 May 2016 #40

TPP is a renegotiation of NAFTA. JaneyVee May 2016 #2

The OP that I linked to is about the TTIP which will essentially eliminate pesky democracy rhett o rick May 2016 #8

TTIP, if it happens, is an agreement with Europe, not the "the poor workers around the world". pampango May 2016 #75

So do you support Pres Obama's position or Clinton's new position as ragged as it is. nm rhett o rick May 2016 #93

"Vote to protect the gun industry"? oasis May 2016 #10

That has nothing to do with this OP. Can I assume you don't support Clinton's position on the TTIP? rhett o rick May 2016 #19

Perhaps if your link worked I could comment on it. oasis May 2016 #35

Sorry about that. I should have know that would be a real hard one to deal with. Here's what you do rhett o rick May 2016 #38

For some reason your post reminded me... malokvale77 May 2016 #73

I don't think they are interested. rhett o rick May 2016 #96

How do you explain the fact that Sanders voted the same way HRC did 93% of the time? FSogol May 2016 #3

And that some of that 7% she voted to his left... JaneyVee May 2016 #5

And the Iraq war vote NWCorona May 2016 #11

And Bernie's vote for Afghan War, Somalia, Kosovo, Libya....etc JaneyVee May 2016 #13

The only one I really knock him for is Libya NWCorona May 2016 #20

AND votes to KEEP our troops in Iraq. I know, his "excuses" are: George II May 2016 #64

Exactly, His dangerous position on guns... scscholar May 2016 #56

LOL. Poor attempt to deflect. Do you support Clinton's position on the TTP rhett o rick May 2016 #9

Her position is no until currency manipulation is addressed. JaneyVee May 2016 #16

In other words her only worry is currency manipulation? Sounds like rhetoric to me. rhett o rick May 2016 #22

Addressing currency manipulation would create millions of more jobs. JaneyVee May 2016 #25

Sorry but I think you are making this all up. You realize that the word "addressing" isn't rhett o rick May 2016 #31

No, he's right. Would be much better than tariffs. Sorry, I support good Democrats like John Lewis, Hoyt May 2016 #55

rhett o rick you're arguing with people that are basically dishonest. Ferd Berfel May 2016 #46

Nah, I'm against the TPP. Without having seen it though, I am loathe to proclaim it the end FSogol May 2016 #51

I'll damn sure defend her position! yallerdawg May 2016 #7

I differ from Obama on TTP NWCorona May 2016 #12

Obama supports these Free Trade agreements and you support his positions. rhett o rick May 2016 #15

Hillary does not support the TPP. TTIP is still being negotiated. yallerdawg May 2016 #69

I don't believe we're anything alike. VulgarPoet May 2016 #18

Your argument would have more force if Hillary weren't clearly ahead in the primary votes muriel_volestrangler May 2016 #26

When I see these types of posts I wonder if the poster doesn't understand politics or rhett o rick May 2016 #34

When I see you complaining that the majority of Democrats aren't actually Democrats muriel_volestrangler May 2016 #43

Good luck. ucrdem May 2016 #47

If people are insistent they are not Democrats, why do they feel entitled to vote in Dem primaries? LonePirate May 2016 #27

Does said country club act as half of a duopoly which controls the national political process? TheKentuckian May 2016 #77

If people aren't Bernie supporters, why do they sport Bernie avatars? malokvale77 May 2016 #82

Nice deflection without answering the question. LonePirate May 2016 #91

Bottom line, IMO, there is a significant split in the democratic party and I doubt RKP5637 May 2016 #29

Getting hot and bothered over an EU trade deal is pretty weak but have at it. nt ucrdem May 2016 #39

The link is for an OP with regard to the TTIP and not the TTP. There is a difference. rhett o rick May 2016 #42

Yes I updated. TTIP is an EU trade deal and I haven't read the final but yes to your question. nt ucrdem May 2016 #44
