      Another good response to that bad Jeet Heer piece from @CarlBeijer http://www.carlbeijer.com/2017/07/liberalism-and-politics-of-passive.html …

      This critique might have more weight if I was ever someone who used terms like Bernie Bros & brocialist except ironically.

      And yet implicit in your piece was a logic similar to the kind invoked by people who do use exactly those terms in earnest

      No, implicit in my piece is that a socialist politics has to find expression in a rhetoric informed by egalitarianism not dominance

      Politics is about power and political power can underpin equality or inequality.

      If it's going to do the former, existing power has to be challenged and, well, dominated.

      The left can't build coalitions with the kinds of people Chapo tends to be mean to. They don't agree with the left or want us.

      In the "bend the knee" spiel, those addressed weren't just neo-liberal leaders but ordinary Dems who use the hashtag resistance.

          Yes ordinary democrats like New York magazine writers and Chait. These people are don't represent the average democrat whatsoever

          One thing left out of this discussion around Jeet Heer/Chapo is CTH is made to be heard, not read. Like Shakespeare. @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE

          Even if it was, which I'm not sure of, it's weird to focus in on that one atypical moment from hours of shows.

          I remember they had a discussion of regular hashtag resisters when they talked about the Women's March, and the tone was very different.

          Point is: famous "#Resistance" neoliberals effect no actual resistance whatsoever, fucking over regular folks looking to them for leadership

          One of the two of us has the meaning of the quote completely wrong. Given CTH's typical political posture and targets, I don't think it's me
