Occupy Wall Street will get youth fired up about the election. True. they are disappointed at the gridlock, and finding it difficult to acknowledge that one leader, no matter how charismatic, can't win a tug of war with scores of recalcitrant tea guzzlers pulling on the other end...
Young people, there's a solution: vote for the inspiring leader, and make sure he/she gets enough support in Congress to implement at least the most important aspects of his program.
For someone who's arguing that we're not moving towards socialism, you aren't doing yourself any favors in the two paragraphs I quoted.
...not that charismatic cult-of-personality types are unique to socialism, but thanks to a handful of remarkable cases durring the 20th century, people are going to make that mental connection.
