    I get what you’re saying. I guess I’m just overly frustrated, bitter, and jaded. The fact that the most well-known populists the American left has are cynical career politicians like Bernie and AOC just pisses me off. And then we’re expected to feel bad for them?

    I mean you probably disagree, and that’s fair, but I’m just disillusioned with all politicians at this point.

      you dont think this reads as kinda overly jaded in a psycho way? Nancy Pelosi is a much richer and more powerful person than Bernie & AOC. I think if we don't feel slightly bad about a DSA oriented politician getting death threats then we've lost something.

      Im not saying you have to go cry in the streets, or throw yourself in front of a train but, to quote @dead up there

      I think that someone who gets violent threats from chuds for being perceived as being a communist deserves some sympathy, yes.
