The One percent has spoken this early morning in their language of deceit and violence. They won't get away with this for very much longer.
wont get away with what? do really think your going to end capitalism? here's the problem: You have no idea what to replace capitalism with. so your going to have to work within system to change the system.
Yes, but until we have a single simple demand to articulate to the rest of the country (like a corporations are not people constitutional amendment- for example) everybody is going to lose interest and fade away. The movement has already lost most of it's steam because no one will take the lead and decide on a direction so as to focus everyones energy. we're just going to have the country turn against us and become a joke. if that hasn't happened already.
A poll taken from a liberal site means nothing. Thats not representative of the American people. Its representative of liberals who are really 21% of society.
Lots of people are indeed spooked by the word "liberal."
Still 54% have a favorable view of OW.
86% agree that lobbyists have too much influence in Washington.
79% agree the gap between rich and poor has grown too large.
