Naturally this is my mistake, because we all know that Nadin is never wrong.
As you probably know: Nads is a firm supporter of OWS. This has led her to several fights with more "mainstream" DUers who would like that energy dedicated to mainstream political contests ala the Tea Party.
Nads and the other True Believers have rejected that suggestion at every turn. It would co-op and corrupt the nature of the movement, they argued. OccuPie had to be its own movement. There would be no joining mainstream politics as mainstream politics was the very thing they needed to fight.
Death to the system.
Rage against the (Vending) Machine.
All that sort of silliness.
Then, a few weeks ago, some OccuPie-ers attended a council meeting in San Diego.
Nads immediately took to the forum to excoriate her opposite numbers with cat-calls of, "See, we can join mainstream politics too!"
her combativeness and arrogance know no bounds.
