Well Matt - you live in Berkeley, after all. And there the Communist party is considered a little too conservative.
Seriously, the Democratic Party in Berkeley is nowhere near liberal enough for that town and just for those who don't know, it's not the students we're talking about. Most of the students there either don't vote or are the valedectorians of their high schools (not a usually radical bunch). Honest. I remember teaching a lab and doing a survey and 50% (!!!) of my students had been either No. 1 or 2 in their high school classes.
Course their standards were lower for grad students, which is why I got in.
