      Still mulling over the main point of Jeet's piece: It's ok to make fun of Mike Cernovich but not Jonathan Chait or Neera Tanden.

      I thought the main point was that a socialist politics has to be built on solidarity, not shock jock radio tactics, but that's just me.

      Chait and Tanden are no more amendable to socialism than Cernovich or Alex Jones.

      I'd say "bend the knee" rhetoric is likely to turn off many more people than just the Chait/Tanden set.

          the democratic base is up in arms and angry at both the right and their own reps. this kind of thing speaks to them directly.

          I don't think people appreciate the "Let Me Speak to You Manager" liberal, though, Jeet.

          Who says you're supposed to agree with me? Point is "bend the knee" likely to offend most who want egalitarian politics, not just me.

          I'd say it would potentially activate the 50% of people who don't even bother to vote. That's the demo to go after.

          It isn't Chapo's job to reach everyone, they cater to a specific audience— they never claimed to be the ultimate representatives of the left

          Chapo will get who Chapo will get, including people like me. As one podcast, even a popular one, they can't dominate left politics.

          Nor, would I imagine, they want to. But they're right the center left have failed and need to get out of the way for a coherent left vision.
