Hillary Clinton and how our generation blew it

Hillary Clinton represents the betrayal of the youthful idealism of the anti-war, anti-establishment 60s baby boomer generation. Bernie should team up with Jill Stein of the Green Party -once the Democratic establishment gives him the big chill.
In the past few decades we are seeing the greening of Socialism. The Good Earth takes sides in the class struggle.
Horror writer Stephen King in " Hearts in Atlantis " writes about how our generation sold out, " blew it ".

  [Hearts in Atlantis (1999) is a collection of two novellas and three short stories by Stephen King, all connected to one another by recurring characters and taking place in roughly chronological order.
The stories are about the baby boomer generation, specifically King's view that this generation (to which he belongs) failed to live up to its promise and ideals. Significantly, the opening epigraph of the collection is the Peter Fonda line from the end of Easy Rider: "We blew it." All of the stories are about the 60s and the war in Vietnam, and in all of them the members of that generation fail profoundly, or are paying the costs of some profound failure on their part.}
