The Alligator endorses Hillary Clinton for president
Nov. 7, 2016This election has been anything but typical. It’s an election that has spawned questions that breach the core of the American spirit. Who are we as a nation? What direction is our nation headed toward? To whom will we offer our hands in aid, and against whom will we raise our arms in opposition? A simple answer to any of these questions is insufficient. These questions are as complex as the society that asks them. We need to have the courage to embrace that complexity — no matter how strange, uncomfortable or morally questionable. In this election cycle, there is only one candidate with the courage to answer these questions with the respect, thoughtfulness and honesty they deserve. That candidate is Hillary Clinton.
