26. Demonization doesn't require personalization

Sanders strategy is to demonize and not personalize. By saying (hard working) individuals contributed, he undercuts his outright demonization of people that work in certain fields. He does it with wall street, oil, and health care. I have friends that were liberal democrats that went into Banking/consulting/investing after college (Yale) because that was the only reasonable way of paying student loans and making a nice paycheck for grad school. Yet according to Sanders, a man whose only steady job has been politician, they are the devils that are ruining this country.
