      2. Yet beneath the co-option of The Resistance slogan by Dem Elite (& also Never Trump people) is genuine mass mobilization from below.

      3. If there is core emotion to Resistance, its realization that all elite institutions (both parties, media, etc.) have failed to stop Trump

      4. "No one can save us but ourselves": which means Resistance is not just to Trump but also to those who enable him in GOP & Dem parties.

      5. In moments of weakness people do buckle under & look for magic bullet solutions: electoral college, Deep State, Javanka, "the adults"

      6. "No one will save us but ourselves" is hard lesson & its easy to see why flights of fantasy (imminent impeachment over Russia) take hold

      Women/POC done MAJORITY of work of resistance, yet are following lead of Sanders?? What needs to end is white male control. Future is female

      Article cites Michael Moore, Young Turks, Sanders & dismisses Hillary as disappearing in the woods. What female leaders are mentioned? Zero

      Only references to Sanders in article were critical ones. Young Turks cited as fissure point. Explicitly said resistance is female.

          Young Turks nothing to do with Resistance, tried to organize Beyond Resistance. You credited Michael Moore with creating the Resistance.

          Um, Moore quote was symptomatic not cause. In fact, whole argument is resistance is decentralized, grassroots, & made up of disparate groups

          Sorry Jeet. Article posits that Sanders movement is driving resistance incorrectly. Suggests women following his tactics. Not true.

          Women and POC saw Hillary and Sanders options and chose her overwhelmingly. But you're suggesting his base is the real driving force. Not so

          Reference to Sanders also completely botched the entire timeline of GA-06, which is kind of a big deal to the argument.

          Jeet, how about approach the objections to your article w/ curiosity instead of being defensive? ASK women how u could have done better.

          How do you ignore the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas backlash and "chill wind" re abortion in early 1990s that elected Ann Richard, WJC etc?!

          The @womensmarch was mentioned, but less so the women of color behind it. WOC are the backbone of anti-Trump opposition.
