That's why people have to be more actively involved in the parties that do exist.
The Tea Party hooked up with Republicans and managed to effect some policy issues.
Not that I agree with them, but that's how you do it.

OWS just messed up. They lost their message in partying and being overly 'democratic' - so much so that there was not real leadership and no real message. I think the issue of campaign finance reform would resonate with all parties involved, but until there is some sort of peace pipe smoked, elections will go to the candidate who raises the most money.

Really stupid.

The OWS people were chasing their tails with nothing positive. I agree that people need to be involved. I've been involved in elections for the last 10 years or so to varying degrees. If I at least try to do something, I feel better about myself. Sitting back and complaining while not attempting to do anything is too common.
