After pointing to positions that he thought were detrimental to many of us, all the OP ask is WHY she is the "better candidate."
Is it her electability? (Got no problem with that, btw. Given the alternative, whom, as between H and B are most likely to defeat the Republican nominee is a major factor) Is it her stance on addressing racial injustice in education? (Again, that's a good reason too. Our kids are often suffering because of the color of their skin and/or the communities where some of them have been trapped). Is it her promise to funnel capital to AA businesses? (Lord knows we have brilliant entrepreneurs who need nothing but capital to lift up themselves, their families, and their communities). What else is it?
Answers to questions like that raise the debate.
I'd like to hear some, particularly here where I am now firmly convinced that, at the end of the day, most of us are fighting for the same thing.
