Often wondered, how did they lose their common sense?
So many times Greenwald's articles hysterical over something government surveillance/warmongery Obama supposedly did, and you'd find out it happened during the Bush administration, or wasn't anything. Every day is was Obama drones Obama drones, which completely disappeared the day after the election. Same with government surveillance. I stupidly thought that nonsense couldn't get any worse and then came the 2016 election when the conspiracy theory bullshit attacks against Democrats exploded. Used to be radical to call someone on your own side evil, corrupt, racist, practically Satan, and then it wasn't.
The Snowden-is-a-hero people: 
Really pathetic.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
