2. They will push you for an answer to "What do you want?"
Knowing that they can then spend endless time speculating whether reforming Wall Street should really be the top priority, or should it be bringing home the troops? Why doesn't anyone mention jobs? Clearly, the first priority is regulatory reform. But you can't get to that until you have a proposal for repairing infrastructure. Nobody's going to care about any of that until we figure out how to solve homelessness. Hunger's a major problem, and rising food prices don't do anyone any good.

And before you know it, the group has fractured about a thousand different ways, pitted against one another, and the 1% just laugh and say, "All too easy."
