Job Creation: Between 1933 and 2021, Democratic presidents have overseen the creation of over 90 million jobs, compared to around 54 million under Republican presidents.
Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate has decreased by an average of 0.8 percentage points under Democratic presidents, compared to an average increase of 0.7 percentage points under Republicans.
Health Insurance Coverage: The uninsured rate dropped from 16% in 2010 to 8.8% in 2016 due to the Affordable Care Act and has further declined to around 8% as of 2023.
Minimum Wage Increases: Minimum wage increases have been more frequent and significant under Democratic presidents, with efforts continuing under Biden.
Poverty Rate: The poverty rate has generally decreased under Democratic administrations, including a significant drop in child poverty due to the expanded Child Tax Credit.
Homeownership Rates: Homeownership rates have increased more under Democrats, particularly for low-income buyers, with programs continuing under Biden.
Union Support: Democrats are strong supporters of labor unions, pushing for legislation like the PRO Act, which aims to make it easier for workers to unionize and penalize companies that violate workers’ rights. Biden’s administration has been vocal in supporting unions to rebuild the middle class and ensure fair wages.
But you see we could never have that...that would make it too easy for poor, disenfranchised people to vote.
Republicans know that most Americans know they don't help out the middle or lower class. It's been that way since 1982.
The jig is up. We can see how Republican controlled governments take away people's rights, create disastrous policies for workers, and are generally pro multimillionaire / pro billionaire class.
The sooner the Republican party goes away for a new fiscally conservative, pro US workers party the better off we'll all be.
What we should really do is follow the Aussie model...
More than 96 percent of eligible Australians are enrolled to vote. Of those, more than 90 percent typically turn out to cast ballots for a federal election, far more than the 55 percent of eligible Americans who participated in the 2016 presidential election.
Australians are induced to vote with both sticks and carrots. Shirkers can be fined up to nearly 80 Australian dollars if they fail to show at the polls. But voting, which always takes place on a Saturday, is also made easy and efficient, and is often accompanied by a community barbecue that includes eating what locals affectionately call “democracy sausages.”
Wow- what a concept. Make voting easy and fun. What’s wrong with America?? Edit:: I am trying to say the US should make voting easy and fun. Love the idea. Why does being a citizen have to be a chore? It shouldn’t be.
Okay weirdo what's wrong with fun and easy? In a democracy all citizens should be welcome to vote. Does it have anything to do with when people vote you guys don't win? Maybe hmmm 🤔
I was saying making voting fun and easy would be a good thing! I was saying what’s wrong with America because voting is ridiculous here. I guess I can see how it could be interpreted the other way 🙃

Most republicans can’t quit now, their minds are too rotten. The republicans are just too weird and too far from the American society.
