      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 do think there is more than a little performative offense-taking in response to Chapo, but in this case people genuinely put off.

      I don't take offense easily (I'm a Robert Crumb fan) but as I said, I found it off-putting.

      That's fine but that it just seems odd you're extending your distaste to include a vague mass of voters who are also offended

      Let's do a thought experiment: if Sanders or Corbyn talked about making party members "bend the knee" would it go over well?

          That would rule. Corbyn should literally make the blairites bend the knee.
