The battle raging in the US today isn’t so much the Democratic Party vs. the Republican Party as it is Progressive vs. Regressive.
Although the Obama campaign’s slogan really hadn’t appealed to me before, Forward is the perfect battle cry while we’re forced to fight against the GOP’s very Backward platform.
Today’s GOP stands for a giant leap back… From outlawing abortion under any circumstances, to making it more difficult for people to vote, to undoing our social safety net and other protections for those who need help the most, the best slogan for today’s GOP would be Backwards.
