Unless you’ve been living in a cave in the woods, you’ve probably heard something about the need for a political revolution. Everyone from your annoying friend from college who just came back from a semester abroad in Venezuela to Susan Sarandon have talked extensively about how the system is rigged in a way that allows the rich to get richer while the poor get poorer. The Occupy Wall Street movement gained traction in 2012 by standing up to the one per cent richest people in America, who controls almost half of the country’s wealth and a recent Oxfam study found that the 62 richest people in the world have as much money as the bottom 3.5 billion people combined. Politicians like Elizabeth Warren have constantly advocated for taking on the establishment and Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said that he hopes Wall Street execs won’t like him and that billionaires will like him even less. Popularity for media outlets like CNN and MSNBC are in the single digits, while internet news channels like The Young Turks, Secular Talk, AJ+ and The David Pakman Show are speaking to millennials in a way that was unheard of even a few years ago. It certainly seems that the media and political landscapes are changing, but do we really need a revolution?

First, let’s analyze why the political revolution came into being in the first place. When George W. Bush left office in 2008, America was in total emergency mode; there were thousands of people a month losing their jobs, we were in two wars under false pretenses and, what had once been an economic surplus of 500 billion was now a trillion-dollar deficit. Millennials needed someone to put their trust in that would take the country in a new direction away from war and towards prosperity for the middle and lower classes. It was because of this that a black guy with a Muslim name called Barack Obama was elected President.

Overall I’d say that Obama was a pretty good president. He had a few disappointments and I laid them out in detail in a recent article, and there were still things that millennials needed that Obama couldn’t do for fear of pissing off the political establishment he had become a part of. We still needed a candidate that spoke up about issues important to us, like college debt, free healthcare, and income inequality. In 2015, we got that in Bernie Sanders, who has given a voice to the voiceless in America and who I wrote about in a past article. He took on the biggest political machine in the country and, even with the Democratic National Committee pulling major strings to stop him from winning (like scheduling only six debates before the first votes, all of them airing on weekends), he got over 1900 delegates and did better than anyone thought possible.

Now that it’s overwhelmingly likely that Bernie isn’t going to be the nominee, millennials have been forced to settle for the establishment personified or what you get when you leave Hitler in the sun for too long (with even worse hair). That’s what kicked off Team Revolution, the fact that Hillary has done very little to win the support of Bernie supporters, which is why only 55 per cent of them say that they will consider voting for her. Trump has actually done a lot more to reach out of them, saying “For all those Bernie Sanders supporters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of superdelegates, we welcome you with open arms.” Surprisingly, 15 per cent say they will, according to recent polls. You heard right, 15 percent of Bernie supporters say they’d rather Make Donald Drumpf Again than vote for Hillary.

I know what you’re thinking: these people are absolutely insane, and I agree. I think Trump is an immature authoritarian fascist demagogue sociopath egomaniac that shouldn’t be President, but one of the ideas behind Team Revolution is that they refuse to fall in line and vote for someone who hasn’t earned their vote. For me that would mean voting for someone like Green Party Nominee Dr. Jill Stein, who makes Bernie Sanders seem like Ted Cruz, or pushing for a vice presidential ticket with Elizabeth Warren. Team Revolution votes for ideals that are important to them, not for who they perceive to be “the lesser of two evils,” and there’s a lot of merit in voting for ideologies rather than candidates. This is true especially when Hillary has shown very little interest in getting all money out of politics, because that would mean her Wall Street and Goldman Sachs money would go away.

That’s the main idea of Team Revolution: ending the corruption that has plagued politics for decades, as well as condemning the media that has enabled figures like Trump to rise in the polls un-fact checked and organizations like the DNC to push the least liked candidate it has ever nominated. As a result, people have turned away from CNN, the number one news network in the world for people bored at the airport, and towards TYT. People don’t see the establishment as looking out for them, and they want to take their government and their country back. That’s the rationale behind Team Revolution, and I’m proud to call myself a member.
