But we know that the voting system is broken beyond broken, I think the 2000 elections proved that one to us. Besides, the political system is acidic, anyone - even a person of the purest heart - will be consumed into the machine, instead of them fixing it. As for the right vs left wings and guns - if a leader were to emerge that found the middle ground of the tea party and the OWS people, that would be a massive force. It's like watching 2 storms slowly draw near to each other, the end result ends up into a superstorm. |
Except that's not really an apt analogy. The only thing the tea party and OWS have in common is a vague realization that, as one OWS sign so succinctly put it, "shit is fucked up". However, each side prescribes very different solutions, so were they to cooperate, they would only end up pulling in opposite directions, and we'd wind up with two separate movements all over again.
