The endless lies and poisonous personal attacks feel like an endless avalanche of toxicity, and it is hard to maintain the energy to hold it at bay. I am becoming emotionally deadened by it, and it is making me want to retreat from the whole process.

Matt Stoller, Yves Smith, etc

they claim to be lefties but spend a lot of time convincing readers that there's no difference between the parties and spreading a lot of hatred of Obama.

Seems like it plays into the republicans hands doesn't it?
