Do you mean that you don't like the way they prefer to defend individuals against corporations rather than the other way around, or the way they don't help people defend themselves against lawful and reasonable government action?
I don't mean any of those things. I just want to point out that I don't support the political statements. I am not looking to start a fight.

That works, sometimes.
The ACLU stopped being neutral long ago, if they ever were.
Fuck the ACLU at this point.
FYI, as someone who has only seen good work from the ACLU, If you don't explain what they did that you consider wrong, I'm gonna assume you're potentially a mentally ill lunatic, rather than having rational grievances.
