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.

      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?
