Just to clarify, until recently you were under the impression that the political advocacy organization you donated to had no political opinions of their own?

GP is complaining about a shift from one set of positions to a different set.

GP (me) is not complaining about shifting positions. EFF was fairly neutral for the prior two decades, and even though I did not agree with everything they did, I thought they were worthy of support. Last year, they began filing some lawsuits without much research or diligence, and without much of a legal basis. I waited a while and watched, and I saw them becoming more and more partisan.

I liked it when they were more about defending rights and less about attacking the "right."

the EFF didn't move from political neutral. The right just moved more right.

I mean, I read that as a shift.

[anonymousiam]

Read it as you wish. I would have been just as displeased if they had swung "right" instead of "left."

I didn't comment on directionality, just that you were objecting to a change (synonymously, a shift).

[anonymousiam]

I did not see it as a "shift", because IMHO they were non-partisan before, and now they've changed. It's not moving the line, it's creating a line.
