Other Americans eligible for president who were communists (but wouldn't want to hold public office) include: ... Angela Davis...

Why wouldn't she want to hold public office? Wasn't she the CPUSA Vice Presidential Candidate in the '80s?

She was, but she hasn't ran for/held office since then AFAIK. I kind of assumed she wanted out of public life since so many of her friends and loved ones have gotten murdered by the FBI.
