I’m voting for Hillary because she fulfills the promise of my revolution. My revolution started in the 60’s, and was about “hell no, we won’t go” to Vietnam, elimination of the draft, and inclusion of women, blacks, and gays in civil rights, human rights and voting rights. We also desperately wanted to get out from under the false, delusional and paralyzing fear of communism that got us into Vietnam.

There is a new revolution going on right now about economic injustice, and I understand the anger: the anger people are expressing about exclusion from the wealth that is becoming concentrated in the hands of a smaller and smaller group. This is the anger that feeds Trump’s campaign, Bernie’s campaign, and ISIS. It’s about experiencing the burden, the oppression and despair of economic deprivation and powerlessness. A lot of women have been experiencing those things for a long time, and we feel your pain. The rhetoric of the current revolution, like so many, tends to demonize the establishment. We did the same thing in the 60s, but we called it the system.
