In New York, in the party's recent vote for a presidential candidate, union members who disliked Bill Bradley because he had once flirted with a voucher scheme (which dared to help parents to choose their children's schools) distributed more than 1m leaflets for Mr Gore.
Members of the People's Coalition of Coney Island, a community organization formed after Sandy, and other groups demonstrated opposite Luna Park with placards and leaflets calling for more assistance.
