This is correct. Everyone talkin' TPP, outside of the narrow band of that being a reason to be excited for Hillary Clinton, should probably take that discussion elsewhere.

I'm not super informed about the parts of the TPP that are pseudo public but there are some worrying issues with intellectual property law, and workers rights in foreign countries. Basically not allowing embargoes to force countries like the China to treat their workers better. Also takes a lot of the tools governments use to regulate industries off the table as they now violate the tpp, mostly taxation but fining for violating country regulations may not be allowed anymore in certain cases. Rumored too are the stronger enforcement of drug laws, making it even more difficult to legalize currently illegal drugs.

Basically corporations are a few steps closer to being outside of government reach at the expense of everyone else.

But don't worry Hillary and the political establishment are totally gonna make sure that we are all equally hosed :)

And for that I thank her. She's such a strong leader for her benefactors which for some reason doesn't include the people voting for her? Oh well I probably shouldn't think uncomfortable thoughts like that.

Optimism!
Respect!

As you can see, just like Hillary I'm not afraid to back controversial ideas, however I believe my platform pushes the envelope even further.

As a white person I know that unlike most people, black people have an ancient understanding of exactly what is good for them and pursue that goal automatically as if by instinct. It is not my place to question their choices anymore then I should question the lion killing the antelope.

This is because I'm not racist, I'm one of the "good ones."

Do you think veteran's healthcare and climate change are secret republican issues or something?

Part of it is that, for Republicans, Clinton once served as a useful cudgel against her then-boss and one-time rival for the White House — but now, she’s just a threat.

Hey guys.... I'm hoping there is something you guys can clue me in, because I actually do not know.

Benghazi. I know its horrible and some good people died. (:rip: Vilerat. Sadly I never knew you). A lot of people are blaming Hillary for Benghazi, and it has something to do with her email from what I understand.

What exactly, is she being blamed for? Did she leak info to the wrong person? Did she not react accordingly? I've googled hillary and Benghazi but I haven't really been able to add 2+2 when it comes to this. Can anyone give me a brief summary of what happened? What is her involvement in all this?

PS: Sorry about opening old wounds, but I'd like to know what this clusterfuck is all about.

E: Sorry, kinda missing info in here.. The only thing I could find, is that she 'may' have revealed Ambassador Steven's location in an email. Which seems to be unconfirmed. If so, to who and was it accidental?

The long and short of it is that Hilary was Secretary of State at the time, therefore it was her fault.

The facts of what she may have done or didn't do are secondary to the agenda of the type of person who brings it up.

The whole Bernie Versus Hillary thunderdome fight is basically unique to the internet because Bernie fans are really upset deep down that they have a long shot at getting their man even close to nominated (let alone elected). Typically you can tell if someone has a legit criticism of Hillary by if they are actually talking about a specific thing with evidence instead of just repeating "SHES A SHILL!!!!!" over and over.

The only Senator to have a more liberal voting record than her is Bernie Sanders, which sums up her policy pretty well. She's basically a mix of the usual big tent dem stuff with economic reform drawn from the new Warren group of economy people in the DNC.

This of course hasn't stopped all the sour grapes people from being upset that we might get the second most liberal senator instead of the most.
