I agree it could be a valuable learning experience for organizers. Including not having people on camera talking about being socialist and being a part of a 'collective'. Seriously, WTF was she thinking??

any way, it is my own personal belief that the "power" in the US already controls quite firmly all three branches of the government and both of the major political parties. There is not going to be a revolution, there is not going to be any substantial change coming. I like that they are doing something, practicing their right to voice their views but in the end the political establishment does not fear the power of an easily frightened, distracted and ultimately uninterested populace.
