2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: When is Sanders going to start campaigning against Republicans instead of Democrats? [View all]Dems2002
(509 posts)Let's see. We are heading into the Presidential Election. The Republican held Senate has refused to hold hearings for Obama's nominee this entire year. There is pretty much nothing that can be accomplished from the left until after January 5 when the new Congress is sworn in.
The biggest piece of legislation that could come up in the Senate prior to January 5 is the TPP which Senator Sanders vehemently opposes. It is a disaster for average Americans supported only by our business elites who do not care about us.
There is a real threat that this will come up during the lame duck session and it will be approved primarily by Republicans with a few Democratic traitors signing on.
NOW is the time to discuss this disastrous legislation. When there is still a slight chance to prevent it from being approved.
