Just a question...
If OWS wants to change America, why did it not publicize election day? (November 8)
There were no "get out the vote" efforts or even mention of the elections on the news feed. Yes, this was not a major election year. But state and local jurisdictions still had elections for public offices and voter referendums. Isn't a theme of the OWS movement "change starts from the ground up?" (my words)?
If you want to change America, you have to vote. Protesting gets you on the news, voting gets you in office.
Cause they are idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
