9. So, will you "bend the knee" to them, Omaha Steve?

If you are posting on DU, Omaha Steve, that means you supported Hillary in the general, which means you are not pure enough for these "dirtbag leftist", because you took the pragmatic option and voted for someone they hate, Hillary Clinton. That means you have to bend your knee and submit to them.



"On a recent episode of the popular podcast Chapo Trap House, co-host Will Menaker used a memorable metaphor in addressing calls for unity on the left. “Republicans in control of politics, that’s the problem,” he began. “However, to the pragmatists out there and the people who don’t like purity in politics, yes, let’s come together. But get this through your fucking head: You must bend the knee to us. Not the other way around. You have been proven as failures, and your entire worldview has been discredited. You bend the knee to us and then let’s fucking work together to defeat these things, not with fucking means testing or market-based solutions but with a powerful social democratic message.”

Your choice, but I know what mine is - I don't believe in kneeling before white men who think they know better than the Democratic base of people of color, women, and other minorities.
