Regress or Progress

For someone like me, this entire November election – president and Congress – comes down to regress or progress.

I mean "regress" in the Webster's sense of "movement backward to a previous and especially worse or more primitive state or condition."

I mean "progress" as a verb in the Webster's sense of, simply, "to move forward; proceed."

Regress or Progress! Simple as that. That's my bumper sticker. My yard sign. Couldn't be simpler. Could it?
