© Whitney Curtis/ New York TimesBrittany Packnett, 31, a St. Louis-based activist, said young black voters wanted more than “a candidate who is better than the alternative.”
But when the participants were asked about Hillary Clinton, their appraisals were just as blunt and nearly as biting.
"What am I supposed to do if I don't like him and I don't trust her?" a millennial black woman in Ohio asked. "Choose between being stabbed and being shot? No way!"
"She was part of the whole problem that started sending blacks to jail," a young black man, also from Ohio, observed about Mrs. Clinton.
"He's a racist, and she is a liar, so really what's the difference in choosing both or choosing neither?" another young black woman from Ohio said.
Comment: It's no longer voting for the lesser evil. People don't want to vote for either candidate - it's that bad.
