As a young person involved in politics, I know it is easy to get caught up in negative emotion when there is so much on the line this election. I have come to realize that in the process of fighting for democracy, many of us have become trivial and childish. It is time to reevaluate. It is time for us, as a movement, to remember the gravity of the situation. Most of all, it is important for us to remember why we began this revolution. It isn't about name-calling. It isn't about blaming Bernie for "selling out" to the system. It is about bringing love, equality and peace into this country. This movement is about upholding the values and principles of the Vermont senator we know and love. Here are 20 inspirational quotes that will help you remember what our political revolution is all about— grass roots action, change, support, and togetherness:
