As a Hillary supporter, and for the record

[Jamaal510]

83. I think part of what shut

Occupy down was its lack of organization. They lacked leadership, and weren't able to completely unite under one goal. Some Occupy demonstrators were part of the Green Party while others were Libertarians and anarchists. I remember Occupy also trying to distance itself even from certain political figures who actually supported the movement and wanted to help out (like with John Lewis at one Atlanta rally).
As far as the primaries go, I'm leaning towards Bernie, and I think anything is possible. However, he is gong to have to raise his poll numbers soon and siphon off some of Hillary's numbers in order to make this a competitive race. He announced his campaign a few weeks ago, but his numbers aren't moving much, so he has to push his message harder and do a better job of convincing more Democrats that he can win the GE. He has to make the name "Bernie Sanders" into the same type of household name that "Barack Obama" was near this point during the '08 primaries, and make himself known to people outside of Vermont. If that wasn't a tall enough task, he would be doing this in a political climate where not many Americans (including some Democrats) even know the meaning of the word "socialism", let alone Democratic Socialism.
Regardless of who comes out on top, though, I'll be fine with any Democrat over any Republican or 3rd party candidate.
