If you really payed attention to what OWS was pissed off about, you'd see that the one thing they agreed on was that the political system as a whole, regardless of party, was completely under the control of..... you know..... Wall Street.
Nothing about what they were up to served to advance the Democratic Party agenda. Sure, they may have been "left-oriented". The thing is, though, the Democratic Party isn't. They are at best center right. "The Left" in the US is completely without representation in the political arena.

I agree with John. I never saw a direct relationship between OWS and the Democratic Party. Just a grass roots movement opposing WS influence to our political system especially after the taxpayer bailouts, in which both parties were complicit. A spontaneous protest group and not a political organization or is there a OWSPAC that anyone knows of?
BTW, how and when did the Democratic Party came to be called Democrat Party? I hear this usually on right wing radio.
