...and yet the DNC decided not to make that part of their official platform, and Clinton chose a TPP supporter as her running mate. Clinton herself was for TPP, then against it (as she tried to do her best Sanders impression during the primaries), and after the election she'll do another flip flop. TPP will likely pass under the Clinton administration.
UGGGGGG yes and? I am sick of voters thinking we are powerless. We CAN and should remind them every single day now on that we don't like that. No pressure on them, no change.
People do not even understand while Bernie was a push in the right direction, the awaking of workers started with the Occupy Movement even before Obama ran the first time, and it was Warren who as a politician made the first really loud condemnation of the 1% long before Bernie. But again, it is still ultimately up to US to be vocal every day and not make the stupid assumption that we are powerless.
Progressives ARE on the right side of history as VOTERS as far as ideas, where we have failed has been in numbers and organization and that has allowed OUR politicians to be forced to play the GOP narrative. Bernie HAS made changes to the process and he WILL still be a voice, but one election is not the issue, it is also changing the House and Senate and State gov.
