In reply to the discussion: Clinton's opposition to the TPP is insulting [View all]kenfrequed
(7,865 posts)1: Most people that try to change the subject in mid discussion are trying to get out of that discussion. I frequently encounter it with conservatives that I have cornered in argumentation.
2: You are the one that decided to ignore previous positioning on trade agreements and her long history of negotiating this in order to pretend Hillary's decision to 'kind of be against what she heard about it' as some kind of informed position. (in 'reality' it was a shift she made before the debates to push the issue off the table. Everyone knows that.)
3: If you look back at 2008 on almost every issue President Obama ran to the left of Hillary Clinton. Was he able to accomplish what he wanted to? No, though I don't entirely blame him for this. But Hillary has been involved in the third way movement for a long time, and before that the DLC. She is a corporate democrat and her protestations about the TPP are without any trace of authenticity.
4: Taking one day where a candidate says one thing once and pretending that proves anything is the opposite of a researched, informed opinion.
5: I didn't expect you to "prove my point." I expect a voter that makes pretense at being informed to do research for their own decision making proces in a political campaign.
