47. If "pro" is the opposite of "con"

Sun Apr 5, 2020, 01:13 PM

Apr 2020

then what is the opposite of "progress"?

Reagan and the GOP turned "liberal" into a bad word so they shamed us into calling ourselves "progressives". Then Bernie and his Bros showed up and said 'no, you're not "progressives", we are'...so I guess a lot of us are back to being "liberals" again. Which is AOK in my book.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
