Speaker Pelosi .."Every. Single. Time."

No coincidence that the last 3 Democratic Presidents following Republicans had to reverse a Recession and enact Recovery and Rescue plans.

Republican policies "rescue" the rich — but devastate the jobs market and crush working families' prospects.

Every. Single. Time.

8. The problem is that most people don't realize this.

The Dems must get much better at blowing their own horns. Americans have the memory of a gnat.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. You are exactly right.

If every time we do turn the country around and recover it from what the Republicans did to it, we have got some really bad messaging in my humble opinion

[smirkymonkey]

42. +1000

We need a serious marketing/PR initiative. There are so many reasons why the majority of Americans should be on the side of the Democrats, but the right-wing runs circles around us with their propaganda and messaging.

I'm sorry, and I am a loyal Democrat, but we really need to get our act together when it comes to getting our message out and telling the truth about the republicans. We have been failing miserably in this department.

[BigmanPigman]

43. It seems like the Dems' massaging has sucked for

a very long time and they are more than aware of this deficit but does that get them to do more PR. Nope.

[KS Toronado]

9. Is there a way to tie a recession to the tax breaks for the rich?

Last 4 R Presidents have had tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.

[lastlib]

22. Dear American People, Aren't you Friggin' TIRED of RICH people getting bailed out??

Then STOP voting for the basturds that bail them out with tax breaks that YOU don't get! Try voting for the ones (D's) that put YOU FIRST!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

40. That is exactly how they've brainwashed. People think their taxes

are lower with R's. Got to combat ! But doubtful with the same PR and same leadership unfortunately.

11. So many voters are old enough to know this first hand.

One reason the senior demographic is also shifting blue.

12. WHY isn't this the mantra....over and over and over and over again....

Everytime a progressive gets on TV or the radio....THIS needs to be pounded into the empty heads of the kardashian American brain.

14. Speaker Pelosi!

Besides saving democracy (!) she speaks the truth.

Trickle Down Economics was a grift.

https://money.cnn.com/2015/06/15/news/economy/trickle-down-theory-wrong-imf/index.html

Wealth does not trickle down from the rich to the poor. Period.

That's not Senator Elizabeth Warren talking. That's the latest conclusion of new research from the International Monetary Fund.

In fact, researchers found that when the top earners in society make more money, it actually slows down economic growth. On the other hand, when poorer people earn more, society as a whole benefits.
The researchers calculated that when the richest 20% of society increase their income by one percentage point, the annual rate of growth shrinks by nearly 0.1% within five years.

This shows that "the benefits do not trickle down," the researchers wrote in their report, which analyzed over 150 countries.

By contrast, when the lowest 20% of earners see their income grow by one percentage point, the rate of growth increases by nearly 0.4% over the same period.

The new report called widening inequality "the defining challenge of our time," echoing earlier comments from President Obama.

The authors explain that high levels of income inequality drag down growth because poor people struggle to pay for health care and education, which hurts society as a whole.

"For instance, it can lead to under-investment in education as poor children end up in lower-quality schools and are less able to go on to college," the report says. "As a result, labor productivity could be lower than it would have been in a more equitable world."

The report builds upon research from other international organizations and Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel laureate who has been campaigning against rising inequality.

15. Here's the problem

their side doesn't really care about the economy, they care about whatever social issue of the day has been ginned up to make them made at the world.

Our side cares about everything (sometimes leading to some getting disillusioned and sitting out if everything isn't fixed right away).

Then there's that slice left over that doesn't think about anything except how bad things are, and who vote for the party not in power every single time. Which leads to the back and forth electoral nature of our politics.

Only way to stop it is massive involvement from our side every single election. Otherwise, we can't beat out both their enthusiasm and the "pox on all their houses" voters who just want to blame whomever is currently in charge.

[Justice matters.]

Hope Madam Speaker knows the damages they cause.

28. Jobs charts

.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. I'm glad you posted this chart I've been trying to get somebody to explain it to me.

Totally get that post pandemic you've got a lot of job growth. But I don't understand why it's double or triple anybody else is there some number that skewing it? I mean if you're close to full employment must mean there are like hundreds of thousands of jobs unfilled. Sorry guess that's no brainer.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

41. Ok think I know why this is skewed. We lost 10mm jobs

During pandemic? If we brought most back then that explains the large growth over 12-15 mos. It will be interesting to see what real job growth ends up to be.

[young_at_heart]

29. As long as the R's are able to "demonize" us

they will prevail. In rural areas one doesn't dare call themselves a Democrat. I live in Madison Cawthorn's district and was just appalled that he won....lots of small solidly Republican towns scattered around the mountains here and ALL went for him....only because he had an R after his name. It started with Reagan in the South and it grew and grew. We know who the real "demons" are!!

[musclecar6]

30. You

Go Madame Speaker. As others have said on here, tons of people who vote republican, vote against their own self interest. Just dumb shits who get conned into thinking they are the haves, by con men, liars and cheats.

[True Blue American]

31. Clear back as far as my memory goes. Republicans give wealthy tax breaks,

Recession. Democrats bring economy back, try to help the worker, rinse repeat.

[ffr]

32. It would be awesome, if for once Democrats campaigned using such facts.

Campaign from a position of strength and attack Russians where it hurts, the facts!

[dajoki]

33. People have been fed the lie...

from the repubs for decades about the trickle down nonsense and it is baked in already. Now with all the culture war stuff going on it's going to be hard to get those hardcore wing nuts out of their delusional mindset. Fortunately I still believe they are a minority in a minority party so we must energize our base and peel off as many reasonable voters who believe democracy is worth saving.. It's the so called swing voters that are a problem, they have to pick a side, they're either for democracy or for autocracy and our candidates must make the choice very clear.

[Martin68]

34. This message needs to be shouted from the rooftops across the nation.

35. Laissez-faire.

Demanded by predators everywhere!

36. "We know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for you." George Carlin RIP.

"And now they're coming for your Social Security. And they'll get it too, and give it to their rich criminal friends on Wall Street." Stay tuned, as I think he was absolutely right.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. And we keep on doing it! Hmmm. It's almost like the party's having agreement

to swap out power. It did flash through my mind that they didn't try very hard when McCain ran against Obama.

[Turbineguy]

44. Somehow,

Tax breaks for the rich is not sold as "Screw the poor and middle class!" But taxes for the rich come across as "Fuck those rich bastards!"

Now why is that?
