Occupy protestors wake up to the fact that the political system doesn't represent them any more

and the truth is that it hasn't represented us for quite some time...

Washington is Wall Street, Wall Street is Washington

Occupy protesters demonstrate resilience to crackdowns and cynicism in the media but it is still unclear what lies ahead for the movement. While camping out and singing songs is one thing, getting the right politicians elected quite another. The movement is unified and people are waking up to the two-party dictatorship, and realizing that the political system does not represent them anymore.
