Forum Post: On Those Peaky Political Parties....

Already some Democrats have expressed their support for Occupy Wall Street and fewer Republicans have expressed support but most show opposition. This will only continue as we move into an election year.

I feel that the movement has done what the political parties and the corporate media could never do and that is unite people from all political ideologies. It should continue to do this. It cannot allow division between the 99%.

I think that the movements should be committed to not vote for incumbents and to not vote for either of the major parties. This should be a message loud and clear during the election year.

If, say, a Democratic politician expresses support for the movement, the response should be "Thanks but to truly accept your support we request you withdraw from your political party and join the movement. Otherwise, your support will just be seen as a tool for your party and its base."

No more division, no more petty conflicts, and no more bipartisanship when the goal should be unity and nonpartisanship!
