Republicans spend like there’s no tomorrow when in office, when they’re out of office, they complain that Democrats aren’t fixing the problems -and deficits, they left them fast enough.
Do we need to have a history lesson for why we’re focusing on the time period after 1961? We all know.. right? I personally think the focus should be more after 1968.. but that’s just me.
There used to be a frequently posted chart of the debt/surplus under each president. Clinton, for example, left office with a huge surplus after inheriting a debt and that was squandered
100% true.
The economy does better under and because of Democrats. Period. That’s a fact. Look it up if you don’t believe it. The reason isn’t well understood, but it might simply be that Democrats tend to raise the standard of living of the middle and lower classes – who then energize the economy by buying products. Republicans tend to do things that favor the wealthy, who gain wealth by purchasing and breaking up companies, laying people off and consolidating more wealth. We’ve seen this over and over and over again. I’ll never fathom how it is that the American public would think Republicans are better for the economy and the welfare of the middle and lower classes than Democrats are.
Look: I believe that we need healthy progressive and conservative parties so that America can be governed from the middle, but the conservative party right now – the GOP – is not healthy. It has a cancer – the Tea Party and Trumpism – that is killing America and turning it into a Russia-style kleptocracy with cynical and unhappy citizens. We need to cut out that cancer by voting every Republican out of office.
I know if i share ill be asked for the sources on these. Does anyonr have leads or sources on these specifics before I go diving?

They’re looking to bankrupt the country on one end, and then “Oh noes, now we have to pay for it by cutting social services”. That’s their whole stupid game.
recessions are a money grab
8 of 12 recessions began under Republican presidents
They won’t believe the numbers …it’s their *feelings* that matter. Snowflakes.
What in the actual *FUCK* is this shit? Fuck those fucking fuckers.
Reagan fucked it all up when we deregulated corporations across the board and claimed the profits would “trickle down”… there’s a reason Trump went with the Republican Party… his quote” they are the dumbest group of voters”
Since 1989 51m jobs were created under democrats and 1m jobs created under republicans.
Corporate bailouts
Blocked disaster relief
Billionaire tax cuts
Cut Regulations on the environment and wallstreet
Denied social programs
Denied education funding
Republicans constantly whine that government doesn’t work, then get elected and prove it.
murder rate is higher under republican presidents
But but rEpuBliCanS aRE gOod WitH tHe eConOmy!!
I keep hearing folks on the right say they like trump because he speaks plain.
Would it make sense to have translation services for each candidate?
Even if you can’t accept that the GOP has become a neo-fascist insurgency, the historical performance of “New-Deal Liberal” administrations and policies vs conservative ones is still stunningly clear.
You don’t have to wear tie-dye and dreadlocks. You can still believe in reasonable access to firearms. You can still believe that some crimes deserve the death penalty. You can believe all those things and vote Democrat with a clear conscience.
What about the unborn child?
Please. The GOP doesn’t give a shit about a child after it’s born and it only cares about the fetus as a campaign slogan. I think we can all agree that questions about bringing a fetus to term are NO ONE’S business but the person carrying the fetus. If for no other reason than if you allow government into the womb there is no place in your life from which you can exclude it. That should be enough to get every libertarian on-board.
But who are well fooling? These are all logical, reasonable, sane constructions or reason and evidence and Republicans stopped living in that universe a long time ago.
