Why protesting against bad trade deals won't help

Couple of things to point out as we now enter darker times due to midterm election results:

Why protesting against bad trade deals will not help

Why 2/3 of Americans allowed our freedoms on the internet die, putting environmental, healthcare, and labor at risk,

Negotiations are being concluded at APEC. Some trade ministers say that a deal could be reached in the first 6 months, this however could be done in time.

And the reason why 2/3 of Americans allowed our internet freedom to die is that they stay home. If the 2/3 of Americans voted, Democrats would've held onto the Senate and the TPP deal would have died. My guess for this reason is voter suppression. 2/3 of Americans didn't vote because of state voter ID laws. I hope the DOJ will investigate the election results and declare that the midterm was rigged by voter suppression when this new DOJ head be approved by the Senate during the lame duck session. I may sound like a liberal but the DOJ is our only hope to stop the Repubs controlling both houses.

Freedoms are now dead with a GOP controlled Congress with Fast track likely to come up when the 114th Congress likely to be sworn in.

Midterm election results

The GOP wins Senate control with over 6 seats. Expected to net a total of 8 or 9 seats depending on the December Runoff. Georgia did manage to avoid the runoff and it's quite surprising that they also have gained a net of 2 governor seats mainly pick up of 4 seats. It's rare that a GOP win in Maryland despite that the projections would result a Mod Dem Hold/Lean Democratic. The latest poll shown that Lawrence (Larry) Hogan Jr. leads incumbent Anthony Brown by 5%.  Incumbent Governors in Florida and Kansas, turned out that they won despite of their vulnerability in polls.

Senate Result

GOP: 53 or 54 (Depending on the Louisiana December runoff)
Dem: 44 or 45
Ind: 2

Governorship Result

GOP: 31
Dem: 18
Ind: 1

That was a good midterm. Colorado had a good battle, though it's still a toss-up state.

Final Projection for Senate and Governorship

Polls will soon close between this evening and through the overnight hours. Voting count could take as long as a day.

Meanwhile, Georgia and Louisiana are likely to go into a runoff ruling out that either candidates will win and avoid the December and January runoffs.

Final Senate Projection:

GOP: 52
Dem: 45
Ind: 3

Since the GOP are taking the Senate, Angus King is likely to caucus with the party but will vote with the Democrats to block cloture on Legislation.

Final Governorship Projection:

GOP: 27
Dem: 22
Ind: 1
