(58,724 posts)Kidder began to feel the Bern about a year ago. Deeply concerned about climate change, she heard Sanders speak on the subject. "I thought, wow, he's right on the money," Kidder said in an interview. "I've been panic-stricken about this for my grandchildren's sake, just worried sick. And here he was saying our campaign finance rules are so bad that the fossil-fuel corporations and the banks that invest in them can basically call the shots.
"The more I listened, the more I thought, the sane thing about this man is that all of his stands on the issues logically connect with each other," she says. "He sees rightly that being a good environmental steward is good economics. He sees correctly the need for campaign-finance reform, that our middle class is disappearing, that we need better health care, that we have a non-livable minimum wage."
