(1,638 posts)That doesn't seem to be the emerging consensus from where I'm standing, but let's say it is. I don't put much faith in the media consensus - one that kept telling us that the presidential race was a toss-up. If they say that that Occupy is the most important movement of our time or a flash in the pan (I tend to see the latter more often in the media), I'll stick to my own analysis - not because I think I'm brilliant, but because the media's track record has been so poor.
The original post said that Occupy had a huge role in the election, which I haven't seen much evidence of (and isn't the media consensus, if that matters to you). Whatever role Occupy may or may not have in the future, it doesn't seem to be much of a political force at the moment.
