I think Occupy Wall Street can take credit for this election win for democrats too. Woke

7. lol

[KurtNYC]

11. +1

2. I totally agree.

They changed what people talked about. Many will come here to pooh pooh it, but we know, we watched, we were there.

[oldhippydude]

3. yes n/t

[roguevalley]

4. it was heading for cuts but they saved us. :D

[Jamaal510]

5. They definitely gave Democrats a little push in order to spark up the base.

What they did was have it to where now more people are discussing income inequality. But when Occupy first started, though, I admit I thought they might have given us some problems because there was all that talk about them supposedly having resentment for both major parties.

9. I just want them to concentrate on issues of inequality. Have a multi message

message....'what does inequality mean to you?' type message. It is how they started out. That's how they garnered the support of over 50% of Americans. When they meld with the message of the far left, being anti-trade, they lose supporters and steam. But yeah - this election win for Obama is Occupy's win too.

6. yes and no

they did change the conversation away from debt hysteria and back to income disparity and corporate power, but there's also been an abundance of "Don't vote, it only encourages them" and "They're all the same sentiment" among the occupiers, which hasn't been constructive

[Brainstormy]

8. Occupy and Harry Reid

Both deserve credit. Occupy completely changed the conversation and got us focusing on income inequality. Reid challenged Romney to show us the money and Romney folded.

[Ken Burch]

10. That's true

OWS is the only reason Obama started talking at all about corporate power and economic inequality...and it's THOSE issues, and no others, that will elect him tonight if he does win.

[GetTheRightVote]

12. Give credit where credit is due...

I give to anyone or group that put this man back into the White House,

[jeaps]

13. I agree. OWS changed the narrative. We are the 99%

And the brave soul who taped Romney's 47% comments deserves a medal!
