Chait ignores this obvious fact because he's a hack when it comes to writing about the left.

It is refreshing to see him engage with someone to his left by name, though.

Chait’s understanding of the intellectual debates within what he describes as the “‘illiberal’ or ’far’ left is notably idiosyncratic. e.g.pic.twitter.com/zT8ksubQzY

That is some NYT Opinion-level punditry right there.
