I'm With Her...but is Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party with us?

1. Looking at Kaine...

That Project Exile program is interesting. For example to make a comparison to a conceptually similar bill, the 94 Crime Bill we all know jacked up mass incarceration which heavily fell upon Black and Brown bodies. HOWEVER, we also now know that the crime bill was lobbied for BY black and brown people who felt that they were being abandoned by society to violence. Was that the case for this program? Was this program intended as a tool of white supremacy, or was it implemented in response to the demands of Black voters who wanted more protection from violence? I don't know the answer to these questions but I'll try to research.

It's more clear cut with Rahm; he's pretty much the kind of Democrat we can agree needs to have less of a role.

I think the key here is that Clinton is beholden to people of color in a way few candidates are - she does not defeat Bernie Sanders if she only gets 60% of the black vote. And she likely will not defeat Trump if she gets less than 90% of the national black vote.
