Who here on DU intends to run for public office?

And where are the local elections most likely to elect Democratic Socialists?

Who thinks a third Party is necessary? It appears there may be a fourth or fifth.

1 - Democratic
2 - Republican
3 - Democratic Socialists
4 - Tea Party/Libertarian

I have no intention either. But young Republicans flock to run for office. Young Dems do not. I think it's going to bite us big time.
