I've listened to some PSA. Listening to people discuss politics in a way that refuses to acknowledge the fact that the Democratic Party and most Democratic politicians are harmful actors opposed to left-wing goals is deeply off-putting.

An analogy that might make sense to the people who enjoy it - how would you feel about a show that treated the Republican Party and most Republican politicians as being generally good (or at least not outright harmful or malicious)? I imagine that listening to that would probably make you pretty angry! Except in a way liberal-aligned media can be even more infuriating, because it takes nominally left-ish values and treats the Democratic Party as being a good faith advocate for them.

edit: Basically it is difficult to listen to political commentary that treats awful people and ideas seriously.

It is like reading an en exceptionally bad D&D thread that you can't respond to. All the frustration and none of the catharsis.
