Interesting the professors are running. I wish an L. I. writer or commented or reader would run. Until the uniparty is replaced, our woes will continue to multiply.
I’ve thought of running but my being a “confirmed bachelor” shuts me out because no Conservative party could see beyond that. I’m not militant about it, but as they say, the internet is forever and that works be that.
I think you’re unnecessarily limiting yourself.
In some races you’d be better off running as a dem, have a better chance.
Use the tactics of the Justice Democrats a/k/a chakrabarti and cenk what’s his name.
