Jill Stein recruiting Palestinian Americans for her running mate position

80. By about 2014 I gave up.

Increasingly pro-Russia anti-America (meaning Democratic Party -- for Republicans, too, government only means Democrats -- Murc's Law: only Democrats have agency and influence in politics (everything bad is their fault and they're never given the benefit of the doubt because bad motivations are assumed) emotional disinformation designed to make potential Democratic voters disgusted and cynical.

Republicans scaring people that Democrats are dangerous radical socialists; "Left" media scaring people that Democrats are corrupt neoliberal capitalist warmongers more dangerous than Republicans. Can't watch Democracy Now, Amy Goodman, waste of time. Not journalism.

Dropped out of a political discussion group I'd helped start because spent too much time debunking links members increasingly posted. Many members weren't American and no matter how hard I tried to convince them that no, the Obama administration wasn't anything like the Bush admin, they believed Glenn Greenwald or some garbage article from RealClearNewsNow or other Russian sites.

Then the full-on hysterical conspiracy theories of the 2016 and I was glad I didn't have to see former friends go all the way to the hateful dark side.
