"I am a proud Democrat who fights for people and thinks Republicans are bad and we should stand up to them": actually a very popular message, which should be a lesson both to the reactionary centrist crowd and to other leftists hoping for similar success

“The way they protest might put off some centrists!,” say the armchair observers who are personally offended.
If you want a certain kind of grassroots resistance to Trumpism, what you do is encourage and participate in that kind of resistance. What you don't do is sit on your hands until people come up with something without you, and then say "no, not that."
