Well that's kind of the problem with being part of a disjointed group of people with no real agenda. You CAN'T, under any circumstances at all,
speak for them.
Because you don't know what the person next to you stands for.
Shouldn't it be a given that the people you stand next to I protest be on the same page?
The reason I can't do this is because the reasonable people asking for positive reforms and controls on government profligacy are only 15 or 16
percent of the crowd. Everyone else is in the far left, let's redistribute wealth, eat the rich, marxist/socialist crowd.
No thanks. I won't stand next to people like that.

That's the thing about it, is that in general, though we may be different "factions", the things we have in common are huge things:
We know that the majority of our elected officials have been bribed to act in the best interest of big banks and big business at the expense of we the people.
We wish to end this corruption.
To me the protests are events to garner support, raise awareness, network and brainstorm solutions. It's possible that the left/right paradigm will always exist but that doesn't mean we have to let ourselves be exploited through it.

Yes, but there are very clear differences between those of us who are conservative minded and those who are so far left they might as well be painted red.
There no denying that. Those types of collectivist ideologies are not compatible with American notions of Federalism and individual liberty.
