We are the Democratic Party - Democrats

Democrats are fighting for a better, fairer, and brighter future for every American: rolling up our sleeves, empowering grassroots voters, and organizing everywhere to build a better America.

I continually fail to see how anyone could think Trump was good for the economy when he lowered taxes and raised spending by so much. Then tbe whole tariff thing that just fucked up supply and prices and the deportation scares that caused crops to sit rotting. What the fuck.
Show threadBoddhisatvaOct 4, 2024
Every Republican administration since at least Reagan has done the same thing. The cut taxes for the rich and then increase spending every and then a Democrat comes in and cleans up their mess. Yet somehow they manage to convince people that they are the party that’s good for the economy.

It’s because knock-on effects of government policies take around 4-6 years to fully materialize. Republicans fully understand this and also understand that the average American dumb fuck has a political long term memory of 3 months at best. They can fuck everything up in a term or two, pass the buck to the incoming Democrat, and then blame the Democrat for everything they completely broke. Just look at the final massive deregulation that Bush pushed leading to the 2008 crash that Obama had to deal with - which they could then conveniently blame on Obama himself!

What you’re seeing is the end result of literally decades of propaganda. Objectively, Democrats have been better for the economy for about 90 years.

I am utterly convinced if ya got rid of talk radio you could revert a shit tonne of it. Dont even need to do much, just deregulate AM radio and let the hobbyists broadcast whatever they want theyll drown the airwaves with niche metal in five seconds.

Racism and holding on to white privilege that’s how. White women voted Trump in droves in both 16 and 20
Many White Women Still Voted for Trump in 2020

In 2016, a large number of white women voted for Trump. A lot of pollsters and journalists predicted this time would be different and that white suburban women would vote for Biden. But the exit-poll numbers show the same trend as 4 years ago.

White college-educated women shift left, so the cure is to send them all to college. (For example, I entered college a John Anderson Republican and have voted Democrat in every election since, becoming more progressive as I age into oldfartitude.)

white women vote republican on the whole (although hillary got just over 50pc of the white woman vote).

I don’t think either of them will on any meaningful level, if at all. Maybe I’m just jaded but I haven’t seen cost of living go down in my lifetime, and I blame the infinite growth economic model. If a politician isn’t willing to make concrete steps towards moving away from that then I don’t imagine anything will be done about inflation.

The federal reserve’s interest rates are good chunk of what’s going to determine inflation. Trump wants to gut their independence and force them to cut interest rates to near zero. That will make inflation explode

Mwanwhile the current administration is finally actually going after big monopolies after decades of inaction. Will take more time to go through the courts but that can bring down prices in some industries too. Do you think trump will really continue that or stop the lawsuits the minute he gets power?

Other Trump plans are extremely inflationary as well. He plans to put massive tarrifs on a lot of goods. His plans to do deportations that include US citizens will also raise prices too

The federal trade commission has started monopoly lawsuits after a number of big companies. Plus going after other anti-competitive practices. Here’s just a handful of the latest FTC’s actions:

It's insane that any women considered Trump for any reason other than women's rights. Really how many women thought "I don't mind that he wants to control my body, but is he good for the economy?"

Goofy shit.

I have literally no idea why anyone would trust Republicans more on the economy. Every single Republican president has worse economic outcomes than Democratic presidents.

Trump in particular is even worse. Who looks at his history of failed businesses and says yeah he understands finance?
