Republicans are bad for the economy
Republicans are bad for the economy
Democrats and Republicans have different economic views and different ideas about what's best for growth. Which party has boosted the economy more?
All the racist stuff and culture war BS is a distraction. Economists studied the data and found republicans are bad for the economy, which is what everyone who’s lives through their policies would tell you. They help out their wealthy donors, which is why they get the “good for economy” label but that’s a lie and myth.
Many analyses look at which party is best for the economy. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Democratic presidents since World War II have performed much better than Republicans. On average, Democratic presidents grew the economy by 4.4% each year versus 2.5% for Republicans.
Republicans are just bad at running the country on so many levels.
Pretty much every Republican idea is bad. The party should be dissolved, its members and donors disenfranchised, and their crimes prosecuted.
They are bad people, either through malice or incompetence, it doesn't matter.
And half the country somehow vehemently disagrees with this.
That’s why they have to do this culture war bullshit. Their actual policies are so wildly unpopular that they have to trick people into thinking they can save them from the gay trans liberal cats and dogs or something.
The RNC is slowly being dissolved and will be promptly replaced by the DNC as the dominant conservative party.
This has been proven since before I could vote. It doesn't matter to their voters.
It does, but the media machine is geared more towards storytelling than reporting or journalism
The entire fucking point of republicanism is “fuck you got mine”. It is designed to bring destruction upon the vast majority for the benefit of the oligarchy. How is this not widely understood?!?
Propoganda & our collective distraction.

Yes, they are bad for the economy, but they're also bad for everyone else that isn't them. Economy means nothing if a doctor is refusing to provide you with health care.
"Which party is better for the economy"
Fuck those 114.6 million people in the US who were food insecure in 2023 source Didn't they know The Economy was booming? Maybe if they knew they wouldn't be starving to death/ facing less than optimal purchases of healthy food.
Which party is better for the actual citizens who live here not the 759 Dragons
*Edit: My reply was meant to be a knee jerk specifically to the title of the article - leading with the question about how which political party is good for the economy, as if humans are second to "line go up". The answer is the same, obviously, but how it was framed makes it a money focused question, rather than a "citizen's issues" question.
In terms of what the article is arguing, you could just as easily swap in the term ‘society’ in place of ‘the economy’ and the rest of the facts hold true.
Blue states are far from perfect, but they drastically out-perform red states in terms of health, education, income and environment.
The Democrats are better by far.
Free School Lunch Child tax Rebate Job Creation Wealth tax Lower middle class taxes Stood with the striking workers just last week Aren't responsible for any of the major economic crashes in my lifetime
The Democrats aren't perfect, I could go for an anti corporate third party. But of the two choices they are head and shoulders better. Especially as long as they're up against the only American president to lose a trade war.
those 759 are more valuable than the bottom half
All the racist stuff and culture war BS is a distraction.
It is absolutely not. One of the ways Germany was able to fund itself during WW2 was by displacing and murdering "undesirables," then stealing their property. Eliminate people who don't fit your view of "good citizen" because of their ethnicity and redistribute their wealth to those who remain.
I just figured out why it's called National Socialism.
Here in the UK our economy has been on its knees for the past few years because conservatives work only to funnel as much cash as possible into their mates’ pockets.
Their ‘austerity measures’ crippled the middle and working classes, and literally killed scores of disabled and sick people. But it freed up money for tax cuts to the wealthy, so it was a good job well done for them.
And that’s why I fucking hate conservatives.
But the Daily Moron newspaper told me Labour bad!
The chart is interesting. Carter is rated higher than I expected.
He wasn't a bad president. He was just boring. I would love to go back to boring.
Hoover and Roosevelt really drag the averages around.
The way they calculated, almost half of the "credit" for Democrat growth was Roosevelt.
And hoover single handedly cuts the R number by 30% as a result of him having massive negative growth.
They addressed this in the article. If both are taken out of the data set the Democrats still come out ahead.
I realize I didn't explicitly say that, and that in the politically charged environment it was probably assumed I was shilling R.
I love data sets, that's all.
Now that is a paper worth reading.
The economy is bad for the people
Both are deeply in bed with big businesses.
Instead of asking whoa better for the economy, ask who values people over business. Its neither.

Bullshit. I'm all of those things. The important part here is a piece that you haven't brought up: do you want freedom, opportunity, and prosperity for everybody or just for you and your fellow cis white guy gun-likers? Republicans aren't interested in feeding children or treating the ill unless they or theirs are the children and/or ill. You're either arguing in bad faith or aren't paying enough attention to understand that none of what you claim to be has been demonized in any way by either party.
Why does one side or the other need to do something with you? Do you need someone to assign you a political stance?
It's kind of hard to say with 750,000 people now homeless. 65% people living paycheck to paycheck. 53% of people either under or uninsured. The elderly being priced out of their homes and becoming the fasting growing segment of the unhoused. Where the 1% possess 95% of all the world's wealth. Credit card debt is through the roof and auto repossessions are right behind it.
Every bit of legislation meant to relieve economic burdens off the working class has been voted against Republicans in congress
Democrats have zero interest in relieving economic burden of the working class, If they did, they would be pushing for livable wages, affordable housing, affordable education and affordable health care. All things that are not even mentioned in their current platform.
Show me where Republican policies would solve any of that. I'll wait.
Republicans don't pretend to care., Democrats don't care either, but they talk like they do
