12. Remember - the enemy of your enemy is a useful tool

If hijab-apologist/Limousine Liberal Sarsour is trying to organize a march/General Strike specifically against Drumpf, the issue is about being against Drumpf. What difference is it when she organizes something, or if Steven Colbert or Amy Goodwin organizes something
Our voices are louder than hers; we can ignore her once she starts drifting off message and into her personal agenda.
She will fade into obscurity once more groups get organized and take over.
The 3rd parties and the radicals have hijacked more mainstream protests before (Most recently, Free Mumia and PLO activists at Gay Rights/anti-Prop 8 marches come to mind); let them have a taste of their own "medicine".
If she's the one providing a bucket of water when there's a drought and the plants need desperately watering, will you just wait until the next person with a bucket shows up?
