find common ground. Stop arguing your differences. Discuss your connections.
Common ground? What might that be? Isn't democratic politics about vigorous political debate? If you go to any occupation I think you find a lot of common ground. Every day at most occupations there is at least one common agreed upon action. Sure, there are vigorous debates at the GAs, but that's what democratic assemblies are for, isn't it?
Well said.
debate, yes. But fighting is not productive amongst people who desire a similar end result. People need to remember why they joined the OWS movement in the first place. Unity. Dont forget why we are all here. To merely fight, "who's right" and "who's wrong"...then we simply become "the republicans vs the democrats"...not exactly btu you understand what I mean...
I think that it is hard to find common ground when there really is no ground to begin with.. Too many have no idea why they are in OWS or what they stand for.
