I'm starting to think we need a new forum...

"Politics 2016"

Far too many threads focused there, and not on the upcoming mid-terms.

as a part of the politics of 2014. I don't think a new forum is required but, go for it if you have real strong feelings about it

I've found that DUers literally discuss whatever the pundits of the day discuss.

But agree we need to focus on this year's election. There are important races and ballot measures nationwide. We made some progress last year, but we need a whole shitload of progress this year to get the momentum going again. 2016 can wait.

to make everybody happy.

We shouldn't stop concentrating on the 2016 election though. It is important to drive certain "inevitable" candidates out of running well before the 2014 midterms. It is also important to begin focusing on 2016 now if we want to have any chance of winning.
