Well, too bad most people pay so little attention, and think that's all Occupy is about. Low information voters and all that, I guess. But you seem to know all about it.
Getting 400,000 people to change their banks within a month was a pretty successful "movement" action.

He might be an honor student that helps old ladies cross the street but his act is a turnoff. What they "stand for" (though it is still debatable that there are arent a lot of things that they support that aren't palatable in mainstream America) becomes secondary when America grows weary of them. In case you didnt notice our society has a short attention span and OWS is getting to be the same old story. You can blame the media all you want but to most there is nothing really tangible changing because of OWS

No, what "they stand for" isn't debatable
. Why don't you list the specific Occupy demands that you say are not palatable in mainstream America? Because the mainstream embracing seems to be increasing constantly - look at what Cleveland just did. What did the President discuss today? What happened in the halls of Congress today?
But basically, you are saying that the very people that could benefit from OWS actions are attacking them because ... they have low attention spans and don't like Occupy methods?
That's kind of insulting, don't you think?
Yes, peaceful legal public protest and wanting politicians to change laws to get money out of politics is so radical and offensive.
