Our corporate oligarchy has propaganda down to a science.
Lots of pretty populist ideas that can't happen now that the oligarchy and the DCCC succeeded with their "Accept Doom" strategy for Democrats in the midterms.
But the overarching, bipartisan corporate agenda is still headed for us like a freight train: predatory, antidemocratic "free trade" deals, endless war for profit, police state. None of that has changed, nor has the underlying monied corruption of both parties and our government as a whole that drive it.
But we are to talk about Bread Bags, forget about that silly oligarchy stuff and the need for fundamental change, and go back to pretending that we still have a functional democracy and that corporate Democrats have our back.
Here comes the TPP.
