This is why the Klein-TNC "debate" was mere kayfabe. Klein's investment is in the electoral fortunes of the Democratic party, which is a mere cutout for the sprawling network of institutions that profit off of racial conflict and the manufacture of new classes of the oppressed. Jeff Bezos' ex-wife's $20 billion bequest insures that these institutions are the dominant power in this relationship.
Klein's pitch to those institutions and the vast army of white collar rent seekers whose livelihoods the institutions sustain is: the Democratic party has to win power to be able to use the power of the state to enrich you even further. Please allow us to make moderate-sounding noises in order to win back that power and continuing to reward you even more richly. Please allow us to sustain the illusion of open dialogue and debate in order to preserve the appearance of democracy rather than making explicit that a whole class of rent-seekers and political hobbyists live off of Live Action Historical Re-enactments that move inexorably toward violence.
But those institutions only want to rule under their own favored terms that they define and can continue to dominate non-electoral power in America whether or not their cutout is in power. They have no reason to concede anything for mere electoral victory under any terms other the terms they set. While they will feast on the public purse when they can, they are perfectly plump and contented when it's not in their possession. This marks a contrast with the party and politicians.
Abundance was an attempt to give the party something to talk about other than identitarian conflict and the minting of new classes of the oppressed while evading an intra-party conflict that it lacks the power to win. The murder of Charlie Kirk seemed like a moment that could be leveraged on behalf of this project.
The ongoing Dungeons and Dragon re-enactment of 1877, the surreal recasting of a 6'4" white male exposing his intact male genitals in the girls room en route to winning an NCAA women's swimming championship as the new Rosa Parks: surely the Democratic party doesn't want to keep fighting a holy war over these fake causes? Now that the impetus to murder enemies in supposed self-defense that all the lists of hate organizations and hate speakers that the NGO Borg sustains was enacted by an otherwise pretty normal seeming college student, perhaps we could take that moment to draw back from the brink.
This was Klein's appeal. They brought back TNC out of retirement to set him straight. Lia Thomas is the new Rosa Parks. Girls that don't want to share a changing room with a 6'4" untransitioned male were hateful bigots whose voices should not be heard. And all Ezra could do was affirm that yes, the girls and those agree with them are "fundamentally and morally wrong," -- but we live in a democracy and we have to live alongside this rabble of backward trash, and they have a right to vote and thus we need to seek ways to placate them with half-truths and evasions and open lies so we can obtain the power to finish the job of suppressing them with state power. Please let us tell them.
And TNC said, fuck no, what is wrong with you man, and a whole class of tens of millions of white collar rent-seekers who are the core constituency of the Democratic party had their hearts uplifted and were assured that the Democratic party would not allow any daylight between itself and their burning will.

It’s an interesting thesis: that ‘progressive politics’ is increasingly indifferent to electoral outcomes because they have such a big trough to feed out of regardless of whether or not they’re in power.
In this way, perhaps libs’ most important product is the ideological slop that excites Silicon Valley billionaire divorcees and widows, and marshaling popular political support is of secondary concern. Maybe that is the true source of of the confidence of TNC’s ‘moral certainty,’ he realizes the independent power of the market he services.
If this bears out, it will be interesting to watch how this affects Dem politicians. Perhaps Dems will become indifferent to electoral politics and will use politics primarily as a ‘platform’ for performances that titillate a specific donor class.

In just the last 5 years, Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife MacKenzie Scott has poured nearly $20 billion into overwhelmingly woke causes.
By contrast, over the course of his entire life, stretching back to the 1970s, George Soros has donated $32 billion
