3. I thank OWS for Bernie :)

They began the movement. Bernie will carry their legacy forward into concrete actions.

(Not to say that he wasn't what he is all along, just that without OWS, I don't think he'd have the chance he has now to win.)

4. Bernie pre-dated OWS by a lot. They/we are part of his legacy. JMO nt

5. I edited to make my point more clear.

Obviously Bernie has been Bernie for decades, but I honestly don't think he could have had a shot at the White House without OWS forcing a change in the national conversation.

[merrily]

6. As I said, JMO. We can agree to disagree on this one.

7. What Plutocracy?
