So far, I got a total of 578 votes for the message that "I'm not vote-for-me-and-I'll-set-you-free candidate; I'm the working class socialist candidate." That was with having spent about $50 on the campaign and very little time. If even a third of those voters are willing to put their feet where their votes are, even a fifth in fact, then we have the start of a movement to transform Oakland politics. And possibly beyond. Whether they are or not remains to be seen.
