The other thing that has cut me apart is how, at a time when dubious claims of anti-semitism are weaponized, Bernie and his campaign were subjected to regular, violent Nazi attacks -- smashed windows, swastikas at rallies, racist death threats left on field offices.

... and perhaps because he did not like to play the victim, this vile, violent anti-semitism never got the same play in the media as a bunch of jerks posting snake emojis. Instead, pundits threw around tropes and blood libels, compared him to a disease and to Hitler.

Politico photoshopped him like the Happy Merchant next to money trees.

It was disgusting, all of it, and it made me realize that a loud, honest, working class, socialist New York Jew would
never be defended from racism by many glossy pundits who made their names on wokeness

While the swastika banner dropped at Bernie& #39;s rally was covered (barely), the regular attacks on his field offices were not. I had to do a twitter thread compiling these incidents -- windows smashed in Seattle, swastikas and threats in Florida, death threat note in New Hampshire
