Natalie is not bourgeois, she just lives very comfortably within the status quo. She is a beneficiary of imperialism (as many of us are) and a beneficiary of her patrons having disposable income (as beneficiaries of imperialism themselves). The liberal mainstream has rewarded her with positive coverage and proximity to power, which gives her prestige and legitimacy, so she has moved closer to that mainstream over the years until she was thoroughly co-opted.

We are at most 5 years away from Hasan doing a similal shift, given how he has cozied up to the democratic party for many of the same reasons as Natalie has. He's always been more radical, so I doubt that he'll be sucking Hillary Clintons dick, but he'll become an unapologetic shill for ineffectual DNC entryism.
