Be bold, elect Republicans? Maybe 40 or more years ago! These days, electing Republicans is a vote for: corporate profits over a healthy environment; rolling back voting rights; big government for women’s bodies and reproductive health; rolling back workers’ rights; destroying public education; and denying American families quality, affordable, single-payer health care as a human right (which is supported by over 60 percent of Americans). Oh, and don’t forget it’s also a vote for the wonderful family values of racism, sexism, xenophobia, white supremacy and state-sanctioned child abduction! Bold? That’s not quite what I would call it.
