“Politics is compromise, by its very nature. But we never compromise on our values and beliefs. I will vote for Clinton and plan to continue to challenge her on her platform and these commitments when she’s in the White House.”

Sounds reasonable to me.

“Clinton’s platform on racial justice is strong: It is informed by the policy failings of the past and is a vision for where we need to go,”

But what about the brogressive’s one strike rule?

A no-brainer endorsement, given the alt-righternative.

But still welcome…

There was something informative about human nature in the attempts to lay blame for the '94 crime bill, mass incarceration and the racial disparity in the prison population at Hillary Clinton’s feet during the primaries.

I highly recommend this Jamelle Bouie article The Most Astute Analysis of American Politics in 2016? SNL’s “Black Jeopardy!” Sketch.

I think this is a good sign. It won’t change who votes for whom in a significant way, but it’s one of those signals for the future administration.
