to picking political parties. It might be nice to say, "we don't support any party" but that means that you thus then support the racist anti-Muslim, anti-union, pro child worker no minimum wage candidate and I don't think OWS support those type of political candidates.

I think it is time to get real and say what you really want instead of holding on to some pie in the ski ideal that does not exist. Too much time has gone by and reality is coming into play.

My take is that if the DNC does not try to include at least some input from Occupy/99% csziggy Dec 2011 #41

OWS needs to make its intentions known other than the threats from many of its Kahuna Dec 2011 #43
