charts & graphs that prove the economy does better under democratic administrations, they hang onto the lie that repubs are better at business. It's like the farmers economically hurt during Trump's tariff wars, telling a journalist that in spite of some good ag legislation the dems got passed, they would never vote for a democrat.

Right wing radio has brainwashed at least two generations of conservatives & social media has just made the situation worse.

Everything I've read, he lost over 6 million jobs.

Maybe that's a revised number, but as far as I know, I will continue to use the 6 million.

is the opposite of what the general media brainwashes the masses with.

This next election, our party needs to make sure that EVERYONE in our party that gets on tv says this over and over, so that the idiots who believed the other propaganda see that they were lied to.

And the most powerful part of messaging is Message DELIVERY. The best talking points don’t help if you don’t USE them! And get them OUT THERE! And REPEAT them - on heavy rotation, as we used to say about a hit record in rock radio.

distinct pattern here. Puke president effs up and Dem president who follows must spend precious time repairing the damage. I give Biden immense credit for doing it so nobly and for continuing to press on important new projects. Thank goddess for this noble man!

They fuck everything up while they're in charge, so they can scream about the need to cut "entitlements" when the Dems are in charge. And the rubes just fall in line.

I'm quite the potty-mouth today.

19. That is why we only hear about the so called "Economic Cycle" when republicans are in power
Wed Mar 22, 2023, 03:09 PM

Economic Cycle:
1. republicans in power, loss of jobs, bad economy.
2. Democrats in power, job gains, economy restored.
3. republicans in power, loss of jobs, bad economy.
4. Democrats in power, job gains, economy restored.
etc., etc., etc.

And why do we only hear about the so called "Economic Cycle" when republicans are in power and the economy is hitting bottom? Because they want to attribute their grift and incompetence to a mythical event which only happens when they are in power. Coincidence? I think not!

the good old trickle down theory? Boy that was fun. Maybe repubs can try to starve us into submission with another try.
