We are well into the summer. Towards the end of the summer actually and there has been no occupy presence. It's dead. It lived for 2 summers before this one.

What did they accomplish? The only thing I can come up with is maybe getting Obama re-elected and Elizabeth Warren elected.

It was useless. I haven't seen any news articles or blogs reading the occupy movement's obituary but it's long overdue.
 
Half of them graduated and the other half decided they needed to take that internship...
 
One of the stupidest "movements" I've ever seen. Kind of sad Ron Paul associated with them more closely than did the other GOP candidates.
 
They never got their student debt absolved nor were the oceans ever healed.

They probably started questioning where all the money donated to the organizers went.
 
The disdain for the "occupy" movement here is sickening. They may not have had a very clear goal or the best organization, but I feel like it's a reflection of the general anger many Americans have nowadays, especially with the bail outs. You get all kinds of people within "occupy," and some are more well-informed than others, but it's a healthy dose of civil disobedience from Americans who know something's very wrong with our country.

In fact, you all sound like Herman Cain in this clip.

Umm. You do realize that they were only complaining that their pet interests weren't bailed out as well? This was a glorified temper tantrum of "Daddy, stop ignoring me and hand over the greenbacks." I guess they could get some acclaim for the effort, but their goals were rotten.

Everyone who loves freedom should disdain authoritarians.

Yes, a good lot of them. But, I also do remember hearing some pretty darned well-informed people speaking in Iowa at one of their meetings. They were talking about the Federal Reserve Bank, etc.
