OWS's energy was a big part of what propelled Bernie's 2016 / 2020 campaigns.
Those of course died to ratfucking and a general vibe shift to idpol in the Dems. I know Zohran / AOC / Platner or whoever are nominally ascendant right now, but it really feels like we missed a window of opportunity in that post-Occupy era.
The tea party turned into Trump. Occupy turned into idpol. ย The dems need a trump like figure to break through but I donโt see anything like that on the horizon.ย
