The Beatles song is fitting as the site has changed, sadly. It speaks volumes about how far the country has swung to the right when the largest liberal site has loads of posters advocating for war. I would love to see a truly liberal antiwar progressive underground. I think the term "democratic" might be past it's sell by date.

The situation kinda reminds me of how MTV, which was once cool in the early 80's, was alive with new bands from around the globe and it seemed like with Live Aid the world would change for the better, then eventually MTV morphed into an inane spew of bombastic "reality" crapola and self absorbed talentless music. I see DU as similar. It supports my theory that in an unregulated capitalist society the cream doesn't rise to the top. The crap does. Money trumps all. And we all are worse off in the long run.
