You're doing it again, DU....

19. For the most part that's true,

but what gets annoying is when there are obvious paid staffers shilling for one candidate or the other or right-wingers looking to stir shit.

There was a guy on here literally the day after Obama was re-elected in 2011 posting threads about how inevitable Hillary was as the candidate in 2016. People can be interested in what they're interested in but I think it's fair to ask people to STFU in certain circumstances such as describing your candidate as the "inevitable" choice four years before the damn election. That poster was later exposed and banned as a right-wing troll BTW but not before amassing more than 10,000 posts.

So yes, people want to talk about what they want to talk about but I think that's missing the fact that quite a few very vocal people here are not "talking about" future candidates in the spirit of full disclosure and intellectual honesty.
