OWS has meant just as much - if not more- than the teabagger movement to politics...

81. Every time I've seen an interview with an OWSer...

They stress that they are nonpolitical, that they feel there's no point to voting, and all the usual stuff. I don't know if this is just selective interviewing or what, but there you go.

And that's a problem. I support OWS and what it stands for... The problem is that all it's doing is standing. If they want change, they're going to have to go one of two directions.

1) get involved in the electoral process.
or
2) learn how to engage in direct action protest. Go all Birmingham Lunch Counter or something.

You can't mill around in an aimless herd, with cute signs and drum circles, and actually get stuff done. it's like what's wrong with Greenpeace; "observing" hasn't saved a single damn whale, has it? Similarly, talking about the banksters hasn't really done anything about them, and no politician is going to change that status quo unless forced to do so
