(27,670 posts)I don't want to feel any stress over a close election. I'm not at all excited about this election and just want it over, with Obama in the WH for 4 more years. As I said earlier, I think this will be the best option for Occupy to continue growing, and will be by far the least damaging scenario for the country as things stand now.
I see Occupy as the only possible agent for constructive positive change at this point.
Paul supporters were at Occupy Phoenix during the opening weeks also. They were not there to support Occupy. Their core ideology is diametrically opposed to neutralizing the power of the 1%. They were only there to try to get converts to the Paul camp. They were basically ignored, and quickly packed up land left just like they did in LA.
They totally pissed me off because they were so disgustingly disingenuous, deliberately never even hinting at the fact that they were total laissez faire capitalists, running a sickening little marketing campaign that included handing out flyers for a dance to support Ron Paul at a local club.
They're so not Occupy.
