Early on I had fears he might be another Fetterman. No longer. Since Bernie came out in support of him, I've been fully on board, and would be hitting the streets at 83, as I always have, if I hadn't just had hip surgery. We need rabble-rousers, barn-burners, rebels with a cause, an upending and an overturning. We need young people with new perspectives, energy and commitment to the common good. It is saddening and frightening where we have allowed ourselves to be led. Too many have been too removed, too unconcerned, too uninterested. Maybe more will be brought into action with the kind of fervor Graham is showing.
