I wonder if their donor base has shifted? One big donor can obviate many thousands of grass-roots members with a few 10's of millions.
I've donated several times, thought they stood for something.
Similar thing happened with the Sierra Club when they started taking money from big oil. Now they're mostly just anti-nuclear lobbyists.
Point is, once an entity gets a reputation for doing "good", they become so valuable as a business sheepskin than any number of individual donors could ever hop to match.
