David Swanson, in discussing the relationship that the Occupy movements and politics should have to each other:

The best way to improve the elections is to improve the society. The best way to destroy the society is to focus too heavily on elections. The rational choice between two bums who are both worse than the two who were offered up in the previous election cannot possibly be rational.
