"the most vital work"?
Of course I didn't see fit to mention the Labor Outreach Committee. That was never my area of focus, so why would I? I responded to the questions posed, none of which touched on Occupy's relationship to unions.
This so-called criticism is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about about the socialist left finding everything and everyone falling short of some abstract artificial ideal height. Occupy was never all or mostly about the unions; if it was, we'd see tons of occupiers canvassing for Obama as union members canvassed for Barrett in Wisconsin just recently.
The funny thing about the Working Families Party is they actually run people against the Democratic Party now and again. When was the last time labor did that, or backed a left candidate running against a Democrat?
Let's see how many New York City unions endorse a Labor Outreach Committee statement refusing to endorse Obama in 2012. I won't hold my breath.
