People who don't organize don't realize they're the ones who have tried nothing.

Even if you do organize, you need to do something with the people you've gathered together.

I've been a part of this small local socialist group for a couple of years now and sometimes I feel like we've tried nothing too. We're the same as everyone else. We have ideas but we don't really seem to act on them all that much.

Suggest running candidates for local elections?

Leadership is too scared to do so. They've basically said that they think we only get one chance at it. We also don't have a lot of people who want to or can step up for candidacy.
