.@_waleedshahid can obviously speak for himself on this point and I'd love to hear him elaborate, but I'd also love to see some more systematic analysis of Occupy Wall St and its connections, or lack thereof, to the current era of ascendent left activism. fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-y… 
My sense of OWS was as a movement w/ real cultural & discursive influence but whose antipolitics created a strategic & organizational cul-de-sac. The contrast w/ DSA, Dreamers, Sanders 2016, and everything since--all directly engaging electoral & partisan politics--seems crucial.
But maybe that sense is wrong or incomplete, and there are in fact pivotal ties both institutional and intellectual linking Occupy to today's efforts. I'd like to know!
