There has been controversy about which of the two remaining
Democratic presidential candidates a progressive(aka l*b*r*l)
should support. This will be a very short Article outlining
the salient points.

1. It will be a matter of great pride for all of us to have
the first woman president, or the first Black president.

2. Which person would you rather see president: the person
who, attaining a position of power in society, joined the
Board of Walmart and remained there for six years? or the
person who spent formative years working in the slums of
the South Side of Chicago as an Alinsky protegee?

(If these two points aren't enough, I give a third point:
under which of the two candidates considered here is it
more likely that the United States will achieve an Equal
Rights Amendment?)
