8. In my opinion...

...and that's important to remember, "my opinion."
it's in poor taste.
It's not naïve. None of us want any more war. Bernie talks about it and we listen.
If he wanted all of the good domestic policies he talks about for us and advocated for an aggressive and interventionalist foreign policy I don't think he would engender the kind of support he has now.
My beef is with the co opting of this historical photograph and somehow interpreting the image as "burning " the establishment or communicating that somehow the photo purports the eventual fate of our political adversaries.
Death is inevitable and it is in poor taste to suggest that it's an option toward political ends in any case. Even in jest these memes should not ridicule death but that's just my opinion.
