      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.

      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 found it offputting -- even making allowances for you being jokey -- and I don't think I was alone.

      So you and an bunch people who are definitely not the people we make fun of every week were put off by this innocuous political statement

      I'd can pretty authoritatively say that people who you do not make fun -- and who are not centrists -- find this stuff off putting.

          maybe if centrist pundits didn't write a hit piece on chapo every time their feelings got hurt this wouldnt be a big deal

          Not every intra-left conversation must also service as agitprop intended to Build the Movement. Sometimes people just shoot the shit.

          My mother is a leftist and would find it off putting. But she also would realize its a show that wasnt meant for her and move on.

          Pack it in, boys. The working class is appalled en mass by an expression used in a podcast that conveys confidence in our politics.
