"Back in the fall of 2011, when the Occupy Wall Street movement seized Zuccotti Park and then spread at unprecedented speed across the globe the criticism we heard coming from the corporate media (when they weren't denouncing the movement outright) was that the movement had "no direction" and had "no leaders."

We were lectured at. We were dismissed. We were mansplained. We were told we were "naïve" and didn't know how the economy worked. "Your criticisms of Wall Street might be popular," they said, "but your program is vague and your movement is rudderless."

Enter Senator Bernie Sanders."
