The economy has performed better under Democratic presidents since WWII. Voting Republican based on the economy makes zero sense.

  1. But voting for Donald Trump was a winning move for racist misogynists giving the success he has had against non white men.

  2. Anybody still blathering on about Democrats and Republicans is just showing that they have zero clue about what’s really happening and who really runs things.

  3. Unfortunately even with all of this factual information and pictures and videos his base will find an excuse to say he will do that soon.

    Republicans create problems so you focus on them while the bad rest is operating.

    Democrats show that the problems are mostly apparent because they’re surfacing again to the public and also the problems that were created by republicans.

    This is pretty much true for any country. Vote in Centrists or those slightly left of centre….the economy will thrive long term. Elect right wing parties, only the already rich or well off will benefit, as austerity only really benefits the already rich.

  6. I’m not defending Trump’s economy (its awful so far), but during Biden’s term, there was a 21% spike in inflation. I don’t know wtf this guy is smoking, but Democrats are just as bad with economics lol.

    Edit: Trump won by a landslide because of how bad Biden was with the economy, folks. It’s not even up for debate.

  7. This is actually true but what ends up happening is that people jump on the other end of the spectrum when things are good and want even more. Greed will be the end of all of us.

  8. This guy sounds like a neoliberal. Why is NAIRU 4.0% – 4.3% in the US and 2.3 – 2.6% in Japan and 2.5 – 2.8% in South Korea?

    Historical economic data show that, on many long-term measures like GDP growth and job creation, the U.S. economy has tended to grow faster under Democratic presidents than Republican ones since World War II. These patterns don’t imply direct causation, but they do surface repeatedly in comparative economic analysis.

  10. It does if you’re a rich billionaire that owns media and are looking for tax cuts and cheaper borrowing costs due to a slowing economy.

    Real GDP growth and job growth have historically tended to be higher on average under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents in U.S. post-World War II data. https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2016/3/data-show-gdp-jobs-grow-faster-under-democratic-presidencies?utm_source=chatgpt.com

    These differences are statistical patterns, not definitive proof of causation. Economic outcomes reflect many influences beyond presidential party.

  12. You are misunderstanding the concept of “voting based on the economy” people do not vote on the economy as a whole….people vote on the economy according to their wallet. If their wallet is empty when the vote cycle hits then they will vote accordingly……just as Trump is about to find out starting from March as the midterms start up. All Trump had to do was maintain and give a few crumbs out his first year as prez and he would keep power thru his term…..but the greed was just too much to pass up so now the republicans will lose the midterms big time and Trump will be a lame duck president with only himself to blame

    This is true, however, the moderate Dems who control the Democratic Party won’t get out there and campaign on this fact.

    The assertion that the economy has performed better under Democratic presidents since WWII is supported by substantial data. Here are some key points:
    Economic Growth
    • GDP Growth: Since 1949, the average annual real GDP growth rate has been 1.2 percentage points higher under Democratic administrations compared to Republican ones (3.79% vs. 2.60%) .
    • Job Creation: Total job growth has averaged 2.5% annually under Democratic presidents, compared to just over 1% annually under Republican presidents. This translates to nearly 2.4 million more jobs created every year under Democratic administrations .
    • Private Sector Job Growth: The Democratic advantage is even more pronounced in private-sector job growth, averaging 2.6% annually, compared to less than 1% annually under Republican presidents .
    Inflation and Interest Rates
    • Inflation: Average rates of inflation, both overall and “core” measures that exclude volatile food and energy prices, are slightly lower during Democratic administrations .
    • Interest Rates: Interest rates have typically been higher under Democratic presidents, which theoretically should have disadvantaged economic growth, yet the economy still performs better under Democrats .
    Income and Wage Growth
    • Income Growth: Families in the bottom 20% of the income distribution experience 188% faster income growth during Democratic administrations .
    • Real Wages: Real (inflation-adjusted) wages for production and nonsupervisory workers grow faster under Democratic presidents .
    Business Investment
    • Business Investment: Business investment growth runs at more than double the pace during Democratic administrations compared to Republican ones .
    Reasons for the Democratic Advantage
    • External Factors: According to Blinder and Watson, the Democratic edge stems mainly from more benign oil shocks, superior total factor productivity (TFP) performance, a more favorable international environment, and perhaps more optimistic consumer expectations about the near-term future .
    • Policy Differences: Democratic policies often focus on government intervention to promote shared prosperity, while Republican policies tend to prioritize business interests and limited government regulation .
    Public Perception
    Despite the data, public opinion polling consistently shows that voters rate Republicans more highly as the party better at managing the economy . This perception may be influenced by factors such as short-term gains from tax cuts and deregulation, which are often emphasized by Republican administrations .
    In conclusion, the data clearly indicates that the U.S. economy has historically performed better under Democratic presidents in terms of GDP growth, job creation, income growth, and other key economic indicators. However, the reasons for this advantage are complex and influenced by a variety of factors beyond direct policy control.

    Democrats do assist businesses, and business consumers. Give more money , spend more , more activity. Immediate. Like all things in this world. Immediate wins till the next whine.
