Bernie & Jesse

BERNIE: "In Vermont, very few elected officials have had the courage to step forward and work for Jackson and what he stands for."

"I hope you'll support Jesse Jackson as our next President."

who is largely on the right side of issues, IMO.

It's just too damn bad that the US has been so backward.
I lay this at the feet of my fellow "baby boomers", and I won't try to explain it away.

It's inexplicable to me, that of their own free will the majority of the voting citizenry of the USA chose to follow the comatose puppet Ronald Reagan with George H.W.Bush.

I can't explain it by "stupidity" or "venality", or any of the cardinal sins. It makes no sense to me at all. Yet it was us "boomers" who did it.
