I’ve heard this statistic before, but it’s still super hard to not get incredibly pissed off about it.

The ultimate goal is to keep the 99% sentiment alive and well. To do that it needs to be more than just a bunch of people squatting in public spaces. It needs a well oiled political machine behind it.
Assuming the 99% Spring is a front group for MoveOn.

So what? That’s like riding the wave of popular dissent and attempting to make the movement go mainstream. The system cannot be repaired! The democrats are complicit with the republicans in their bipartisan usurpation of the will of the people. Yes, there are ‘leftist’ democrats, but their influence within the party and on its platform is ridiculously minuscule. I would be really disappointed if this becomes a rallying ground for BHO, Inc!
