I feel like the Occupy Wall Street movement should have become more of an electoral movement to get money out of politics in both the Democratic and Republican parties. In the latter case, I think the reaction from libertarian and tea-party conservatives would have been mixed, since many, including Ron Paul and Gary Johnson, support a "free-market" approach to campaign finance. If your movement is going to be "cross-partisan," how is it going to approach the conservative side of the electorate? What should be done in the event of major opposition from libertarians?
