In the face of a good economy, Dems have resorted to claims that loads of people have to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet.

This is false--the number of people with second jobs peaked in 1996. And even the 5% who do includes people like me, who taught a class at Duke for fun.
I suspect this is a case of a certain class of millennials thinking their experience to be much more universal than it actually is. And also, the difficulty of arguing with sub-4% unemployment.
If the Trump presidency weren't such a train wreck on almost every level, the Democratic race would be a "not it" contest to see who has to lose gracefully to the incumbent.
