I remember it. It just sort of fizzled out after the US left Vietnam. Everyone went home and got on with their lives.

Many of us remember it. A few still want to keep it going. Bernie's in that group. Now, there is a new generation that has become enamored of some sort of "revolution," sort of like we were back then.

Ain't happening. Didn't happen then. Won't happen now. What does happen is a list improvements in some areas.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Yes, it does. Many of us like to reminisce about those times. MineralMan Mar 2020 #15

He called it revolution out of force of habit. Plus it made him look cool to the youth. Scurrilous Mar 2020 #21
