Ok so are anti-establishment politicians in the US targetted? Such as someone from who wants to deconstruct the establishment like Sanders? Oh he's treated with relative respect and allowed to campaign? Oh ok... so that's unlike China and Russia then?

the democrat establishment quietly removed him (edit: bernie sanders, 2016) in the background, and then this was leaked afterward by wikileaks.

But that's a private party deciding their own internal party issues. That's private individuals, not the state. I don't really mind or care what a private party does within their own systems.

That's not even remotely similar to, for example, the state arresting him.
