In a July 12, 2016 article for Time magazine, titled "My Democratic Problem with Voting for Hillary Clinton," Glaude stated that he would not be voting for 2016 U.S. Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. He wrote that he considered her a "a corporate Democrat intent on maintaining the status quo." Glaude's byline has since been removed from the article for unexplained reasons.

Why oh why was his byline removed from that disgusting Time piece.
My Democratic Problem With Voting for Hillary Clinton
I am not voting for Hillary Clinton, regardless of her endorsement by Bernie Sanders. My decision isnt because of the scandal around her emails or because of some concern over her character. My reasons are pretty straightforward. I dont agree with her ideologically.
Democratic values centered on economic and racial justice shape my own politics. Im not convinced those values shape hers. Nothing Clinton says or intends to do if elected will fundamentally transform the circumstances of the most vulnerable in this countryeven with her concessions to the Sanders campaign. Like the majority of Democratic politicians these days, she is a corporate Democrat intent on maintaining the status quo. And I have had enough of all of them.

"Americans" sure dont. "Some Americans" do but "Many Americans" would welcome an alternative.

A lot of repugs will stampede off shows that call them out. So play chickens clucking as they leave.
