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

      You write this like old white dudes like Michael Moore or Bernie Sanders led resistance. They didn't & haven't. Local POC, mostly WOC have

      Um, the only comments about Sanders in the article are critical ones (that he wanted to work with Trump & is divisive).

          I reffed Sanders because other articles that likewise whitewash the resistance have. The pronlem is still ignoring WOC who've been leading

          You centered the piece on Moore's 100 days of Resistance which has nothing to do with #TheResistance He & others appended themselves /1
