@benroyce @painting_squirrel @mloxton @McD1979 Nice story, but wrong.
They just couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black woman.
The margin wasn't all that much but it was insurmountable in racist America.

I liked Larry Niven stories (40+ years ago) but didn't care about how well written they were. -

There are always some who want to be hermits or vagabonds. The number of homeless today is many times as high as would be in a properly run economy.
