Wrote up this question, with some links to reasoning at DP: http://www.dailypaul.com/184314/should-ows-occupy-the-green-party-or-democratic-party
What do you guys think? I'm obviously involved with the Green Party, but once that is established I may shift my focus into building the Pirate Party as the Anti-Party Party.
That withstanding, shouldn't we be thinking about this as a general political shift away from the current establishment, and Ron Paul (and the TEA Party) represents that on the right, and Occupy and....represents that on the left.
Should it be the further empowerment of the Democratic Party or the empowerment of the Green and Third-Parties.
How about this for a Political Judo move. Once a Party or "Side" gains the Presidency, it is the imperative to the conscious citizen to begin challenging that Leader on its principles though their base (in this case, Obama and the Progressives) and ensure the quality of its opponent from the other side (by, in this case Ron Paul through a libertarian merger into the GOP).
This is something that allows the entire "Anti-Establishment" segment of Society to sustainably work together without having to become an establishment themselves.
And slowly, we can empower an Independent movement to reduce partisan establishment.
