They represent hte same portion (not same people just portion/percentage) as the OWS people represent.
No, that isn't true. When I say that the support for TP positions is no more than 25%, I don't mean support for the movement itself, I mean support for what the movement stands for: reduction in government services, deregulation of business, purist free-market capitalism, social conservatism. Support for the goals and issues of Occupy is overwhelming; something like 80-90% of the people believe that the money needs to be gotten out of politics, that wealth is distributed unfairly, and that the government serves the interests of the rich, not the people.
Of course, the Democratic Party is not basing itself on Occupy, either, but that may happen; anyway the changes the Democrats need to go through are outside the scope of this thread. I'm not saying there aren't any.
