You seem upset at the sight of the unwashed masses hollering against the haughty elites, but at the same time you sound gleeful over the prospect of Reddit being punished for insufficiently protecting the feelings of said elite.
A top comment on one of the most popular websites in the world is calling for the death of a politician based on no evidence whatsoever. Perhaps this is normal to you, but not to me, or any of the advertisers who pay money to advertise on Reddit.
If you think that it's normal to call for the death of a politician based on no evidence of a crime, then perhaps other lower-quality websites may be a better fit for you, rather than Hacker News?

You could just as easily be describing YouTube or Instagram comments, which regularly feature humanity at its worst and dumbest. Why would you expect Reddit to be any better, when it has millions of users?
Your second sentence is pure trolling and I will turn the same question over to you. Pointless, sanctimonious outrage doesn't belong on Hacker News.
Nancy Pelosi has done orders of magnitude more harm to our country than many people that have been given the death penalty.
I don't wish for her death, but I certainly think we'd be better off if she was no longer in power. Additionally the lack of consequences for her corruption harms public trust in our electoral system.
Hell, /r/chapotraphouse was banned for allowing members to call for the death of 19th century slave owners. Sitewide rule enforcement on R*ddit is pretty arbitrary and at the convenience of the admins.
That's not why chapotraphouse was banned. You can still find tons of links on shitredditsays pointing out members of that sub calling for the death of still-living people, or entire races of people. For example, see the not-very-subtly coded references to baseball, referring to the assassination of Scalise.
I don't really wish her death but I definitely would like old people like Biden, Pelosi and Clinton go away and not f..k up the country even more. Hopefully they will go away before they die but I am not so sure they have the sense to retire.

Is that a correct reading?
