Had this been a militant action (i.e., one that might frighten Trump and the GOP), or a coalition of liberals who welcomed and respected their leftist allies rather than merely wanting to vampirize their righteous anger and energy into midterm votes, the roster of speakers would have included people calling for revolutionary change and action outside of the existing system. There would also have been some radical activists you’d never (heard) of who do important work.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485273296607_3279"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485273296607_3267" dir="ltr">Celebrity liberalism and pleas to vote Democratic are where the Left goes to die."</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485273296607_3280" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485273296607_3281" dir="ltr"><a class="enhancr2_3af2dc5a-5cc7-bebe-fa9a-9bc0da1cfb6f" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485273296607_3315" href="http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/01/24/the-womens-march-was-a-dismal-failure-and-a-hopeful-sign/">The Women’s March Was a Dismal Failure and a Hopeful Sign</a></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485273296607_3336"><br></div><div class="yahoo-link-enhancr-card ymail-preserve-class ymail-preserve-style" id="enhancr2_3af2dc5a-5cc7-bebe-fa9a-9bc0da1cfb6f" style="max-width:400px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" dir="ltr" contenteditable="false" data-size="medium" data-type="yenhancr" data-embed-url="" data-category="article" data-url="http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/01/24/the-womens-march-was-a-dismal-failure-and-a-hopeful-sign/"> <a class="yahoo-enhancr-cardlink" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485273296607_3384" style="text-decoration:none !important;
