Something that has been hard for me in this election cycle is the discussion of “revolution.” I have been told that my issues and support aren’t “revolutionary” enough. There was only one revolution and I wasn’t part of it. To be part of the revolution I had to subsume race and gender to class, I had to not worry about hurting the most vulnerable people in the process, and I had to accept that the methods used would be ones I didn’t think would work.

Yesterday I saw an example of the kind of revolution I believe in. I saw democratic (establishment) senators like Chris Murphy, Cory Booker, and Kristen Gillibrand stand up to the NRA and senate republicans and demand a vote on gun control. I saw them respond to a tragedy and their constituencies. I saw them combatting propaganda and hate. But most of all I saw them win. I saw senators doing their jobs and accomplishing something without hurting vulnerable people and without overthrowing the system. I even saw them welcome two republican senators to the cause. I was very proud to have voted for Kristen Gillibrand yesterday and to be a longtime member of the democratic party.

While democratic senators were filibustering and tweeting about gun control Bernie Sanders was in Vermont tweeting about citizens united. That is not my revolution. That revolution wants to demonize hard working senators for campaign donations. That revolution cares more about corporate donations than gun control and LGBT protections. Where is Bernie Sanders this week? Where are his solutions to the tragedy in Orlando? Tragedies like that cannot be fixed by economic changes. We need a revolution that will protect our most vulnerable people and enact swift action.

The revolution I want includes electing the first female president and being proud of that historic moment. The revolution I want will fight TRAP laws and demand LGBT protections and stand up to the NRA. The revolution I want won’t overthrow a system in a manner that will hurt the most vulnerable Americans. And the revolution I want will be full of action, not rallies and empty rhetoric. I am excited to be part of the Hillary Rodham Clinton democratic establishment revolution.
