Despite claiming the banner of “the resistance,” it’s these neoliberal cronies who enable Trump. They lend their services to the same politicians who created the socioeconomic environment that birthed Trump. They move in elite Beltway social circles, only interacting with working-class people during photo ops. They’re incapable of stanching the bleeding from the wounds inflicted by the Trump administration and its congressional allies.
Clinton’s resistance is anti-democratic: it’s about giving millions of dollars to other people who already have millions of dollars, all because they hobnob together at the same cocktail parties and adhere to the same arbitrary norms of civility.
Clinton can call her new money-funneling scheme and Twitter wars “activism” if she wants, but none of us should expect anything different from what we saw during the 2016 campaign. Democratic Party elites and their rich donor flunkies have nothing to offer a resistance with teeth: they’re the enemies, still.
Yes, I think especially now, it's super important to carefully consider who you give your money to in terms of the #resistance, and where exactly that money is going to. For example, a subscription to the New York Times in terms of fighting Trump? Not a great idea.
Let us make a list of "progressive" cable news companies and websites and "left" voices that aren't making tons of additional revenues in the Trump years.

If @nytimes wants to even appear less dishonest & hypocritical, they should follow @ZaidJilan's advice https://t.co/bKGi8EXD9W

From the @nytimes to @MSNBC, our liberal media elites-much like Derek Zoolander-can’t take a left turn. https://t.co/hhYl4AS7Ql
