Excellent point! "bend the knee" is just terrible phrasing for the need for Democratic "leadership" to listen to their constituents and stop sending US weapons to Israel to further its slaughters and land grabs in Gaza and the Occupied West Bank and Lebanon and Iran ‼️

If you care to pay attention, there’s an obvious through line with all these candidates: They all stand for actual policy, not just mealy-mouthed “messaging,” and they have been unequivocal in their criticism of Israel.

They aren't going to bend the knee to the left when their political viability is predicated on spreading their cheeks for the same shadowy donors who own the Republicans.

And if they do, they’ll lose the “mushy middle” which often decides races. I used to deride the middle, in which I am now firmly planted, especially considering the major parties continue to migrate to the extremes.

Centrists, as usual, are claiming "progressives can't win outside deep blue America", which has always been nonsense. The truth is they refuse to even try because they know that their grift will come to an end when enough progressives get elected.
