It’s a week before the election. Quit browbeating me and go talk to some people who have a chance of listening to you. Or are you actually just a cynical sophist who likes winning arguments more than you do “saving democracy”?

Here's a bitter pill for us... why aren't WE knocking on those non-voter doors? No one else is and we actually have something real to say to them.

You are absolutely correct. There is opportunity to organize where everybody else is not. In fact both marx and blushing-engels have the same idea.

that workers’ candidates are nominated everywhere in opposition to bourgeois-democratic candidates. As far as possible they should be League members and their election should be pursued by all possible means. Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention. They must not be led astray by the empty phrases of the democrats, who will maintain that the workers’ candidates will split the democratic party and offer the forces of reaction the chance of victory. All such talk means, in the final analysis, that the proletariat is to be swindled.
