      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.

      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?

      I dunno. It's instructive to compare the great "We Demand" video that Ken Loach directed for Corbyn with "bend the knee" spiel.

          Jeet the podcast where they say 'bend the knee' was for the listener base. They weren't campaigning.

          The term “bend the knee” struck me as odd/off-putting at the time. I don’t know that u can rest a whole arg about “dominance” on that line

          Corbyn is a party leader, not a bunch of knuckleheads. What did the DNC leadership have to say to the left?
