Not to discredit what Occupy contributed to the discourse, but when it comes down to it they viewed Obama as part of the Wall St establishment, and didn't support him in measurable amounts. And now you're trying to give credit to Occupy for Obama's victory? That's like jumping on the Giant's bandwagon the day AFTER they win the World Series.
