The fact that they can't get legislation passed to fix your pet issues - mainly because of obstruction by the very same people Greenwald supports - doesn't stop them from being liberal.
Can you see how this works? You support Greenwald; Greenwald supports Republicans; Republicans obstruct any real efforts to help people; then Greenwald attacks the Democrats & you follow right along. Rinse. Repeat. This is the kind of shit Republicans just LOVE.
Just what is Greenwald's position on fracking, BTW? Or the TPP? ACA? Min wage? Voter suppression? Hmmm? You're assuming he agrees with you but you really have no idea. That's what projection really is. So stop falsely accusing others of what you're guilty of yourself.
This is the problem with Greenwald: He has no foundational values other than his own narcissism. He's convinced himself that throwing spitballs at the people who do the hard work is constructive & meaningful instead of vacuous & destructive. And he's seduced a few low-information bomb-throwers into believing the same. Again: Republicans just LOVE this shit.
And Elizabeth Warren thoroughly disagrees with you about Hillary:
More projection from you. Warren's loudest supporters on DU don't seem to be listening to her. She understands that to be able to get any sort of progressive legislation enacted into law, we need to have Democrats in office. Period. To that end, she will be supporting the Democratic nominee for President in 2016, no matter who she may be - no hedging, no equivocation, no spoiling any candidates before the primaries even start - and Warren sees the best candidate right now is Hillary.
