I am wondering why some of the Democrats are suddenly acting like Republicans.
President Obama and others are pushing hard for the TPP, TPA and whatever other trade deals are in the works. It has been shown that the majority of voters do not want these things. So, why are they not listening? I have supported President Obama through all of his presidency. This I cannot support. The Republicans regularly ignore what the people want but I expect more from the Democrats. Is this a Democracy of the people or not? Is it run according to the will of the people or the will of corporations?
Lately it seems that much of the government works for corporations rather than for the people and I do not care if President Obama thinks he is doing the best for the people by making these decisions. We are thinking people, well informed and it is what the voters' want that should be the lawmakers' guiding principle but they seem to have stopped listening to us.
We feel these things would be harmful to our economy so why the heck do they keep trying to shove these things down our throats. Is President Obama pushing these things so he will make gains on other issues that he is trying to push through thinking that if he gives these he will have more support on the Iran agreement or what? If so he should know that he cannot trust the Republicans no matter what concessions he gives. If that is not the reason, then I wish he and other Dems would start listening to us again.
