4. Although this is his statement from the video:

I think ii clearly said that the 99% Movement won't be successful if it depends on the existing poltical power structure to make a difference. In the end the Tea Party simply became the cheering section for the GOP. I doubt Occupy wants to become the Dem's cheerleaders. I am among several activists who happen to be Dem, but i was there to condemn problems of the party not to champion them, but as is common Tea Partyers only hear the parts they want to--sigh--
