I think ii clearly said that the 99% Movement won't be successful if it depends on the existing poltical power structure to make a difference. In the end the Tea Party simply became the cheering section for the GOP. I doubt Occupy wants to become the Dem's cheerleaders. I am among several activists who happen to be Dem, but i was there to condemn problems of the party not to champion them, but as is common Tea Partyers only hear the parts they want to--sigh--

I was like, totally there for that!! Except not really because I was busy mountainbiking and such and having even less wealth than you 99%ers. :P

When he's going on about how the Tea Party is different because "if it falls back to the political lines that have already been drawn it won't really solve the problem" there's a sign brought to you by the Democratic Party. Take notice.
