Worth pointing out that even if you genuinely believe that this is a valuable initiative that will save lives, it's utterly stupid to actually have this as a platform issue. The Republicans are just going to take this and run campaign ads showing junkies infesting the suburbs and kids finding heroin needles in playgrounds. Bernie and Warren are so tone deaf and stuck in their bubbles that they're oblivious to that, which is why they're both joke candidates with no chance of winning a national election.

The way to sell this politically is just to push the criminal reform angle and save the injection site aspects for when the legislation is being drafted and the voting public has tuned out. The Democrats need to learn that not every good idea needs to be a stump issue, especially when its polarizing to the general public.

I disagree. If you push "criminal reform" what you're instead going to get are pictures of some illegal immigrant and some captions "this guy raped and murdered a 13 year old girl and Bernie wants to reward him with a middle class life"

By singling out addicts, you're going to invoke more of a victimless crime policy.
