The occupy movement has a GREAT message with a huge momentum and potential to add to the continued postive culture of change stemming from President Obama's candidacy. But long since President Obama's Wall Street funds helped contribute to his win, Wall Street has focused MOST of its energy onto helping Mitt Romney get elected.
Wall Street is now the bulk of Mitt Romney's finances. Not President Obama's. And I am sick of the angry "professional progressives" on the far-left continuing to try and establish the false equivalence behind such an uninformed message. The notion that President Obama is rubbing elbows with Wall Street, contrary to those that the Occupy movement protestors are fighting for is a falsehood. And when I see Occupy protestors at Obama events, and writers at various progressive blog sites writing articles depicting the Democratic and Republican parties establishment with Wall Street is somehow indicative to the same measure as that of President Obama this season in comparison to the likes of Mitt Romney and the rest of the GOP, I can't help but ask myself "What the fuck are they doing?"
MSNBC's Chris Hayes put out a brilliant piece late last year that explained where the banks stood in the face of the Occupy movement. For years, no matter which party you hold responsible, Republicans have been, and are, DIRECTLY at the center of the debate when it comes to discussing income inequality in America, and who is being affected by it on both sides. What the Republican establishment doesn't want you to know, or hopes that you will be so angry as to forget, is that even Republican voters are upset at what our state and local governments are doing to suppress the middle class and the poor, and manipulate our police forces to achieve their partisan agenda. We see this in various recall efforts, and ESPECIALLY the Occupy movement, where the discussion of party affiliation per protestor is all but cast aside for the sake of staying on topic.
AMERICANS, in general, are pissed at what the banks have done and continue to do to people in such an unstable economic environment. Now it is time to focus their blame where it most notably belongs. NOT President Obama, but Mitt Romney, the REPUBLICAN estalblishment as a whole. Because if voters reverb the same attitudes this year from 2010, and Mitt Romney or some Americans Elect-funded third party shill gets elected (lest we fail to realize that yes, Americans Elect IS funded by big money groups as well), then I fear that the Occupy movement, and any potential it may have had will be all for nil.
And the AMERICAN people will lose....again.
