That to me is no excuse. Sorry DA, but you can raise money in a grass roots motion, and volunteering for a candidate costs no money. If you look at the successes of the NDP for example in Quebec you can argue that they got in because they were the ultimate protest vote.
I get that people complain that all candidates are in the pocket of big business, but how can you say that when for example the NDP almost run a anti big business platform which includes wealth distribution to the poor for example.
