In my view, a government should not have the right to kill their citizens, period. It's too "big government" for my taste, personally.
Republicans seem to favor big government in this instance, whereas Democrats prefer small (less-empowered) government.
A small thread.🧵

Do I really care about whether an actual murderer gets life in prison or death sentence? No.
What I care about, is the misuse of this power by the government.
I know way too many governments around the world that are happy to use this authority to kill people they don't like.

In other words, I don't want to grant the power of life-vs-death to the government. I want that off the table.
Guilty people go to prison but can still communicate. Sometimes the evidence changes, and years or decades later it turns out they are not guilty and they are let free.

Oh and #FreeAssange. He's being slowly killed in prison for what exactly? Sharing the truth?
And #FreeRoss while we're at it. A decade is enough. There are far worse people that seriously impacted peoples' lives and went free and rich vs anything he did.
