If you want any of these things accomplished stay away from the protests. If you do decide to attend the protests here’s some more practical advice…

As a progressive, this is what frustrates me the most about left-wing protests. How can anyone take them seriously?

I don’t think the lack of direction is what is Occupy’s biggest problem. Their biggest problem is getting people excited enough to get on the streets. Most progressives are more focused on disarming the Tea Party than starting a counter-movement.
