Optimally different!

You're right .. frustration is the prime motivator, but it's the "We are the 99%" meme that's becoming the prime attractor. It's working and spreading beyond belief. The success of the Occupy meme and strategy keeps the conversations going 24/7. Whether the frustrated amongst the left, moderate and right can equally discuss solutions to dissipate their frustation in the open democratic forums opening up on pavements and in public squares remains to be seen. The emergence (or joining of) political leaders is the next logical step. My bet is that Van Jones will be the first to get involved when he sees that joining is the best way to forward his agenda. He will have to buy into the 99% meme to get anywhere, it's too powerful and entrenched already to be swept aside by another.
