1/ Gonna get meta for a moment. I see anti-Sanders people get accused that they are in favor of people dying from lack of healthcare. Naturally, I think that's calumny, but I understand the emotion, tone & rhetoric b/c I've used it myself for pro-gun ppl & mass-shootings
2/ I'll say to them (even if just in my head) "are you happy now? Are you enjoying all the deaths?!" because I cannot conceive of how they don't understand one leading to the other

But, if I really felt that, why would I imagine a death-enthusiast would listen to me?
3/ Of course they don't like school massacres. They just don't trust the people I trust, they don't believe that my favorite politicians actually want to do what they claim to want

It's all down to a matter of trust. The gun-folk don't trust the Democrats, it may be that simple
4/ Policies aren't disembodied ideas, they're implemented by people & if others think that person is cruel/incompetent/lying whatever then they will link the policy with the person and reject both

I see this in me: I support a progressive platform but I don't trust Sanders
5/ Yet I know I make that mistake with others. They don't believe the policy because they don't trust the people

Big caveat: yes, there are many cruel people who don't mind The Other dying. They actively reject full health-care, they are Anshei Sedom

But fellow Dems? C'mon now
