Dear Angry Reader Larry Feig,<\/p>\n

Beware of using all capital letters; usually they seek to create emphases otherwise lacking in an argument. I read both Clinton\u2019s and Trump\u2019s agendas posted on their websites. Progressives should vote for Clinton, conservatives Trump. On the major issues\u2014debt, taxes, regulation, health care, national security, abortion, climate change, fossil fuels, illegal immigration, etc.\u2014their respective positions are entirely antithetical. One can argue their respective characters do not warrant support, or their flip-flops make both insincere. Perhaps. But their official positions as we head toward Election Day are clear and clearly at odds.<\/p>\n
