Bernie in Flint today.
What speaks to about this story is the empathy that it portrays. This is one human being listening to the very real problems of people trying to survive. Not a politician making speeches. Bernie is a decent human being first and last
"The event was a sharp contrast from the candidate's usual events, and Sanders began the community forum clarifying that this was not a rally. Instead, he spent most of the time listening to Flint residents express a litany of grievances and concerns over their water system, which had been contaminated with lead for nearly two years."
