    Although it wasn’t actually Herzog who said it, that quote about americans waking up to the fact that 1/3 of the population wants to kill another third, while the other third watches feels mighty true. I think what really woke me up to that sentiment was back during the 2016 primaries when my sister, a middle of the road democrat, told me ‘but I like my health insurance from work’ when we were discussing medicare for all. She didn’t even have particularly good insurance at the time.
