Why?

Editor,

Why don't the Republicans stop trying to twist their goals into complicated disguises and just run on what they want to do: Let corporations do whatever they want and set up the economy so it redistributes all the money in the world into the hands of a few rich people?

Answer: Because a few hundred people will vote for them and everybody else will ignore them.

There is not one issue, whether it be social, scientific, political, economic, historical, racial, religious, reproductive, sexual, nutritional, environmental, philosophical -- another list; I am not good at this -- about which the Republicans are on the right side of history.

They really should do humanity a favor and just go away.

And the Democrats, who talk a good game but always wind up carrying water for corporations and the rich, should leave town with them -- not a false equivalence; the Republicans are orders of magnitude worse, unimaginably worse, but the Democrats are definitely bad.
