With a few weeks to go to election day, it’s all about the Ground Game now. And every one of us can easily participate – phone calls, texting, canvassing, and more for one or another of the Democratic candidates. I live in the Bronx, but I’m participating in the get out the vote drive in the Hudson Valley, north of NYC, for two House candidates. This weekend we’re canvassing door to door in Hyde Park. Next weekend, back to familiar terrain, Kingston, an hour north of the City and sitting quietly on the Hudson.
By the way, if you haven’t already done so, make a contribution(s) to a candidate!!!

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
