9. It's not a game.

These are real lives. Lives that are being taken by gang violence, police brutality, and poverty. Not one bit of it is a game and people have every right to criticize/comment on the issue with respect to individual candidates. I believe Sanders and Hillary to also be good on this issue. That doesn't mean they aren't to be questioned, even in a manner in which you disapprove. Sanders has no safe haven place in this election. If his optics were poor, now is the time to address them.
