      From the mass of Democratic voters, largely. But not the Dem leadership or opinion leaders who are the ones being mocked.

      For reasons I've explained in article "bend the knee" rhetoric is likely to turn off Democratic base as much as elites.

      Replying to @HeerJeet @LukewSavage and

      Why? It's not the base they're telling to bend the knee to. They're saying the base deserves to be heard and listened to

      When I hear someone say "bend the knee" to someone else, I tend to think they'll soon be demanding it of me. It's a autocratic request

          It's the opposite of an autocratic request to insist the Dem base and its demands should be respected and listened to

          Yeah, it's a demand for the people that claim to be civil servants to actually serve the people that got them there.

          but how did you not hear that it was "No, *you* bend the knee to *us*" an inversion of the consistent demand from the other direction

          the point being "us" = the popular left, as opposed to the the centrist technocrats who already demand it

          60,000 of us stood and sat outside the WTO in Seattle '99 and forced them to "bend the knee". Citizens won; neoliberalism lost.

          1000's of us tree-sat, rallied & locked ourselves 2gether & told Charles Hurwutz "bend the knee". We saved Earth's largest redwood forest.

          er, maybe if made by the powerful few to the weak masses. When the weak demand that the powerful humble themselves, that's democratic.

          "Bend the knee" specifically grates bc of the polemical hubris it has. The Chapo chaps vastly overstate their side's influence

          But polemical hubris is part & parcel of ambitious satirists who have real deeply felt political commitments
