Sterling Newberry (and h/t Vastleft) interviews 40 OWS participants, finds only one "angry" person and zero interest in Obama, with next to no interest in the D party, either pro or con:

Now for some killer notes:

Not one mentioned amending the constitution.

Not one mentioned Barack Obama/The President. That's 0. None. Zero. Nil. Zip. 0 for 40 on left leaning activists in #OWS. He's invisible.

Only 2 mentioned working within the Democratic Party.

It was not, in real sense, a radical group of the left. In fact, the local folk festival will turn up more marxists and radicals and more revolutionary or localist radical sentiment.

It was moderately racially integrated, but less so than many corporate gatherings. There were no Asians participating while I was there. There were few latinos or people who preferred Spanish, though they did have a Spanish desk with a very helpful person there manning it. There were no South Asians. The African-American presence was under that of America as a whole, and certainly under New York City's demographics. It was about as white as the meetings inside Wall Street buildings around them, from my experience.

One important point I want to stress is that many, on the left and even more on the right, have described this group as "angry." It is not. I met exactly one angry person all day, and he was an Indigenous rights activist. I'm going to say that if you aren't bitter about how the government has treated the first peoples, you aren't an Indigenous rights activist, because it was the first land fraud, from which Wall Street's is only an echo.
