Which is really what the Democratic Party used to be, and should be. It's a viable and growing third party, and the true Democratic-Socialists. And the beauty part for me is that here in New York State (and I'm close enough to walk to Katz's), candidates can be on more than one party ticket. I voted for Barack Obama twice on the WFP ticket. That helps grow a third party, and doesn't "throw away" my vote.

Can you make that an option?
Might want to list the Green Party as well?
