The dwindling numbers speak volumes. No one here, even the haters, believe that this is about....

drones. Drones, Soc Sec, Medicare are all proxies for Obama hate. It is, and has always been, about Obama. It doesn't matter what the topic is, whatever position Obama takes, they have to take the opposite, just on general principle.

The good news, however, is that they kept up the pressure for all of his first four years, to no avail. The Jill Stein/Roseanne/Gary Johnson/Rocky show got blown out of the water, which tells me America doesn't really give a shit what they're talking about. We're not listening to 'em, and they're even more pissed. They remind me of the gun nuts on the other side, who howl at the moon that "Obama's coming to take our guns". It's ridiculous.

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.

Tell me more...
