willing to stand the fuck up (looking at you, Nader, Bernie, AoC, Walz, Booker)

Yeah, maybe I misphrased it. But those were the people who came to mind as actually, one, coming out in public and trying to take a leadership position in the opposition, and, two, being competent and successful enough to get at least some traction with the people in the media.
