Again, what do you think the police are doing to people you can’t name if they’re willing to do that to the mayor?

It's classism. Gentry (like the quoted Natalie Wynn) hate being confronted by those they see as their lessers and hate seeing other gentry confronted too (their status should put them above that!). So any angry demo is automatically bad even if historically it's an incredibly effective tactic.

The most well supported argument against the Mamdani protesters genuinely does seem to be "they should have used better chants"

The need to point to a discrete switch point where Mamdani goes from hero to villain is overshadowing the larger, preexisting problem

From what I've seen, the anti-semitism plan seems to mostly be a nothingburger wrt "betraying" anti-Zionism, as you point out; which is why I'm confused that the conversation isn't instead on Mamdani not stopping land sales in NYC, or firing Tisch, or disbanding SRG as promised, etc, etc.

They're like feminism's version of campists, if campists were less logically consistent. You can get them to support or oppose anything under any circumstances so long as you just put the Woman or Man label on it

In all workers’ parties there inevitably emerges a more or less clearly delineated Right wing which, in its views, tactics, and organisational “line”, reflects the opportunist tendencies of the petty bourgeoisie.

A dozen paragraphs which only accomplish what I am struggling to call anything other than an exercise in concern trolling a rape case. It's genuinely left me a little shaken.

"What to do about Jacob Geller" I dunno, move on? A single person's work is not so integral and sacred that we need to wring our hands about what to do with it. There are a lot of people whose work you could be reading or listening to. Stop making icons out of random dudes. is that so hard

...they nevertheless collaborate with the bourgeois men across class lines in order to hold on to the impunity to abuse women freely. They want to shackle women *more* than they want to free themselves!

People argue that the interclass collaboration between working class and bourgeois men to excuse and downplay rape is proof of the irrelevance of the distinction, but I feel that mystifies the severity of the situation. Even as it is ultimately in the interest of the former to call out the latter...

Even just anecdotally; a lot of the time, I will hear a negative review for something, listen to the way the work is described, and go, "wait this sounds like it'd be awesome for me." Negative reviews are just not 1:1 with negative consumer sentiment

Being even more frank, I get the sense that you do understand this, but you simply view the erosion of trans rights as an acceptable concession if it means Dems remain in power. I do not.

We can go back and forth about the pros and cons of vote abstinence as a tactic. But the notion that you can generate real political power by ceding collective action and engaging in purely rhetorical criticism is, frankly, ridiculous.

Mo Drammeh 🦇 @curmudgeondotcom.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
The problem is that "calling Democrats out" doesn't do anything. The actions of the Democratic Party are not mediated by the sentiments of Bluesky posts. If you want someone with power to do something, you need to leverage your own power through collective action. This can include not voting. Sorry.

It is worth noting this is not unrelated to the recent discussions about Steinem, who repeatedly boosted Morgan's career (as she did that of a lot of terfs) following her vicious attacks on trans women, eventually into the editor's role at Ms. and as a co-founder of the Women's Media Center

Don't think there's anyone else that could claim that. Yiannopoulos was pretty much fine until recently, Dave Rubin is doing fine, Candace Owens isn't but not in a way that would cause her any apparent distress. I don't know who else would be in the running
