Re “Why vote on Nov. 4. When we vote, we win,” Oct. 30-Nov. 1 edition:

Readers of your paper should be aware that when we vote, we do not win. We just do not lose quite as badly.

Any Democrat is better than any Republican for working people.

But, partly because the Democrats know this, they do not offer us any really progressive candidates. We have nowhere to go.

So vote, but do not just vote. Protest in the streets — with a permit of course.
