1. A good interview

I look forward to seeing Senator Sanders keeping the progressive movement alive.

And as an aside I really like the gate leg table behind him with the pictures on it, looks just like one we had when I was growing up at Moms house.

2. One thing that irks me is he is still not endorsing Biden, he's talking about "concessions" ...

from Biden for the Berner vote, votes he couldn't deliver to himself.

Also Bernie mentioned a lot of issues that he and "the young" face - issues like global warming, environment, jobs, a living wage that Joe has already embraced that also face we geezers, too, not only those young who seem determined to sweep us away.

We have common big issues that Bernie and Joe are responding to, though the changes Bernie wants to make sometime go beyond issues to changing the Democratic Party, and the whole system. These changes will not come out of any issue, they will only come out of getting Trump out of office to even begin to get off the ground.

3. added note: now I know how the older folks felt after I heard the MC5 or was it Steppenwolf ...

sing about the older generation "if that don't suit you, get out of the way!" and I repeated it to them.
