After all, it is a terrible thing to waste. Don't be influenced by the boight and paid for media hype. In 1904, 1908, 1912, and 1920, Eugene V. Debs ran for president as a Socialist. In 1912 he received 901,551 votes against eventual winner Woodrow Wilson. On 6-16-18, Debs gave one of the greatest anti-war speeches in history at Canotn, Ohio. He was arrested after the speech and later convicted and sent to Federal Prison for 10 years for 'sedition' for language in that speech-against the draft and WWI. Here is an example from his historic speech: " The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles. The master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose-especially their lives." Despite running from his prison cell in 1920, he amassed a staggering 915,000 votes. Warren G. Harding. Excuse me but i think both Harding and Wilson were bigger names than aany candidate in the current election cylce. Do you think all those fellow workers who voted for Debs thought that he had no chance to win? Or that thier votes didn't count? Vote with your mind! After all, it is a terrible thing to waste.

Debs ran on the Socialist ticket in 1904-1908-1912-1920, when he received his highest popular vote-about 915,000 from within a prison cell. He had been convicted for 'sedition' becuase he opposed WWWI. After his famous speech in Canton, Ohio on 6-16-18, he was arrested on the spot. He started that speech, "Comrades, friends and fellow workers." Do you think those people thought they were wasting their votes? Or that Debs had no chance to win?
