Is this guy earnestly equating Occupy Wall Street with the federal government deploying the national guard on blue cities?
No wonder the Democrats can’t win elections.

> The latest illustration of the division and dysfunction in our politics—images of the National Guard occupying our nation’s capital—has justifiably infuriated my fellow Democrats. But the military’s deployment in Washington shouldn’t be understood merely as the latest MAGA cut against American democracy. It reflects a new zeal among partisan activists for “occupying” adversarial domestic institutions—the “deep state” for some, Wall Street for others. Occupation wasn’t always so important to reformers—but now it’s close to an obsession.
He’s both-sides’ing Occupy Wall Street with the federal occupation of cities using federal troops by the current president?
What an absolute fucking joke

On the plus side, by saying something this dumb he’s unchecking his own box for “viable presidential candidate”.

This guy is seriously trying to triangulate on the national guard deployments?

Wow missing an obvious, somewhat reasonable populist win by vilifying Occupy Wall Street.
Like, people *still* hate bankers (even more than usual) after the GFC. And “bankers”, defined broadly, were basically at fault.
(Not arguing that the reforms being argued for would have corrected the actual causes of the GFC, but irresponsible banking definitely was a major contributor.)
