@meganL and the moderate ones always take credit and use it to bludgeon the more vocal and disruptive activists to try to get them to stop and “be civil” when it was the vocal and disruptive ones that made the difference. It’s the pattern everywhere - though I do think every movement needs a moderate face to play the system but that moderate face needs to know and appreciate its role as a foil to the vocal/disruptive action.
