In reply to the discussion: Clinton's opposition to the TPP is insulting [View all]ConservativeDemocrat
(2,720 posts)...other than to repeat the assertion that she is, in general, in favor of trade agreements, and while acting as Secretary of State, a position which serves at the sole pleasure of the President of the United States, she repeatedly touted the promise of a well-negotiated TPP. (Prior to declaring that the actual TPP wasn't up to snuff. )
But I'm repeating myself about why this doesn't apply as a measure of Hillary's vs Obama's leftiness, even if I thought the TPP was bad, which frankly I'm not sure it is.
I'm having to because you're repeating yourself.
And you're repeating yourself because you got nothing. Not only in terms of positions, but actual facts and logic. By the way, I don't particularly care where you set the marker of "corporate democrat" (meaning, one presumes, a Democrat who believes in capitalism, as opposed to Socialist Sanders), so if you choose to call Hillary one, that's fine. You just need to call Barack Obama even "worse" of one then -- which given how well the US economy is chugging along under his leadership, I'm more than happy to cop to as well.
