I am so pumped this morning!! That was a terrible thunder storm last night and you guys out in the park are true soldiers of peace. So glad no one got hurt and a logical resolution was arrived at. Bravo. Thank you to everyone who took the time and called 311 last night. That was all I could do, too, but the operator said they were getting tons of calls. I had to hold a long time and usually I can get right through. And I truly believe we played a role in protecting the people on the front lines from getting totally bulldozed. We let the Mayor know we were watching. I am with you 100% and will see you Saturday in Times Square! We most definitely are making cracks in the facade!
There is no crack in the facade. Until we get people elected in a 3rd party to stop the bribes, nothing will change. Sitting in a park all day with a general assembly for 2 hours is a terrible strategy. You could be comfortable riding for free on the Staten Island Ferry with bathrooms and a terminal to conduct all day general assemblies so leaders can surface. We need leaders who understand the process to be nominated in every Congressional district to wipe out the crooks taking bribes.
Don't pat yourselves on the back too hard.

Yes, let's keep electing leaders to solve our problems. They've done an awesome job thus far. Good luck with that strategy. Your assessment of political protest movements shows a deep lack of historic reference and a propensity for parroting the historic strategy to dissuade people from the only real power we have ever had, used again and again to give us everything from child labor laws, voter rights, workers comp, ANY workers rights we have, and, oh yeah, that big one, liberation from bondage and the proceeding 100 years of white supremacist oppression of the South. Your presence on this forum and the swarms just like you are just as significant a crack as the park victory. Why are you here, wasting your energy on something you think is going nowhere?
This is a time that has comparison to any time in history. Since Clinton sold out the unions with NAFTA the Democratic Party has jumped in bed with the bribes they have taken before any person who doesn't have his eyes, ears, and brain in a trance -- like you epitomize.
It is your blind allegiance to the Democratic Party that will destroy this movement.
I hope my energy, logic, and wisdom prevails over your trance. That is a very long shot, but I will try my best. Americans are self destructing, not because they are all stupid, but because the propaganda brainwashing and your arrogance that would prefer to keep losing than admit you're dead wrong.
Any time you want to debate me, I'll be there. Let the audience decide.
