Listen i mean no offense and I could be wrong.

I don't think that you will be able to have a leader run for president.

  1. To little experience- Any ordinary man/women wouldn't be able to work efficiently as president because of the so many things you need to know how to do.

  2. change- Promises change when you become president because their are things the public doesn't understand that people explain to the president. Obama had very little experience and he didn't do to well.

  3. Stability- many protesters don't know the powers of president. Many think the president passes laws!

  4. Rationalism- Although good in moderation it is dangerous! Many ideas you have will never work in practice! like walking of debt.

Read the Rules

I take no offense. You are right about the impracticality of a presidential bid. But that is ok. We have no intention of running. Politicians are just sock puppets anyway-- that is why we are on Wall Street, where the real rulers are.

OWS is a protest ... not a movement. Come back after QE3 plays out ... things are only warming up.

Oops! I am guilty about calling it a movement ... sorry and thanks for the correction.

They are not trying to have a leader running for President.

Some people said they want to run for the Occupy Party.

Please take a moment to read my OWS for newbies post. It will help you better understand the movement before you post what "some people" have said. There are a lot of false statements around these parks.

Ha, this link starts right off by calling OWS a movement. Okay which is it a "protest" or a "movement"?

[-] 0 points by Thrasymaque (-2138) 13 years ago

It's a movement making a protest. Not a political party trying to elect a president.

Why not take a moment to read?

Oh, I first read the comment below: OWS is a protest ... not a movement. Come back after QE3 plays out ... things are only warming up.

Then I went to the link above. Okay, thanks so I should refer to OWS as a protest right?

There's not much movement since they are occupying an area and most of the protesters are frozen stiff, so yes, I would say a protest. It's certainly not a political party.

Okay "protest". Thanks

Then what are you trying to do? No one knows. Answers are vague and unrealistic. It only leads people to believe this is about creating chaos.

Some of the protesters seen trying to storm into meetings and whatnot appear to be mentally challenged - and may need special care.

I am not an Occupy supporter or protester. However, if you are truly interested in understand Occupy why not make a warm cup of coffee and read all the links posted in my newbies thread? This will help you post comments which fall closer to the center of the target.
