(146,351 posts)the 2012 elections. I say "elections" because I am not really concerned with the Presidential election, specifically. That's not something I can really do anything about, and I don't think Greenwald can, either. I'm concerned with congressional and state legislatures. I believe that Greenwald's divisiveness may indeed affect those by lowering the turnout rate for people disaffected with the Obama Administration, which appears to be a constant target for Greenwald.
Those other elections, which I consider to be far more important than the Presidential election, often turn on a small number of votes. A diminished turnout by Democrats and other progressives, has the potential to be a disaster.
As for why people are interested in Greenwald, his articles are posted daily on DU. Daily. They have been for a very long time. That's why I'm interested in Greenwald.
