Twice in the past month, two socialist guys ridiculed my running for office. One called it a political stunt & the other questioned my capabilities. Are they kidding me!? Have they checked out the alternatives? Do they think Trump, Cruz, Clinton, or Sanders are suited for anything other than animal control officers? And only then after they get extensive remedial job training? Misogyny, thy name is stupid.

No one knew better than me how hard it would be to run as a socialist while the socialist movement is so divided. But only the timid & defeated admit impediments to necessity? Somebody has to stand up against the corporate fiasco of US electoral politics & say the right thing. Why not me, since I’m one of America’s oldest activists?
