(22,976 posts)Ill be 71 in a few months, my wife is 65. Both of us have been liberal Democrats our entire voting lives. With each passing (and increasingly fascistic) Republican regime, our political compasses have skewed further leftward.
We are both voting for Bernie next Tuesday. Dont count us all out. We may have more years under the belt, but our attitudes and outlook are more focused than theyve ever been.
We simply arent old codgers who surrender to time. I still play slide guitar and Chicago-style amplified blues harp, we volunteer at our local animal shelter, travel a bit, and stay informed, active and engaged. My older brother (73) was Republican, but in 2016 he wrote-in Bernie Sanders on his ballot. This isnt our grandparents or parents retirement. We still enjoy raising hell, but with a dollop is wisdom!
Cheers
