105. Me too. I can remember before Al Fromm and Bill Clinton decided the Democratic Leadership

Council's best move was "leading" us our of the Union Halls where we belonged and into the corporate boardrooms. "Triangulating" our way into what would become, well what we are today, I guess.

Bernie was the first shot in my adult life to bring my party back, not just to FDR's "New Deal" or "Second Bill of Rights" but back to LBJ's "Great Society." A cranky old Jewish Democratic Socialist reminded the Democratic Party about this guy

“We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.

Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt

I'll be 60 in a few years myself. I doubt I'll live to see a chance like this again
