Honestly, the Harvard newspaper ought to run a piece on all of the NYT’s coverage and what they distort and why.

THAT I would read.

I'll always remember the rise of the Tea party, because it mirrored (in a fun house-mirror sort of way) the rise of the OWS movement, which I was apart of

By 2010, there were literally tens of thousands of "tea party" Republicans elected into Congress, it's called the "Tea Party Freshman Class"

At any point in the last 3 decades, the DNC could have ridden the momentum of these populist movements to gain seats in Congress, or gain political capital for progressive legislation.

...but they didn't, they NEVER did, not a single movement.
