Incredibly, GOPers saw only 10k jobs created per month over 16 years. 2/
During what has been one of the best years for the American economy in modern history, the unemployment rate has come down 2.4 pts, down now to a very low 3.9%.
In contrast the last 3 GOP Presidents all brought recessions, and rising unemployment rates. 3/
For all the GOP obsession about GDP growth, they have repeatedly struggled to produce it.
Growth this year under Biden likely to clock in at least at 5.5%, more than 3x last 3 GOP Presidents. 4/
Since 1989 and start of a new age of globalization 42m new jobs have been created in America.
40m of those jobs have been created under Democratic Presidents. 95%.
Just 2m under Rs. 5%. 5/
Our friend @robshapiro does a very good job at explaining what a huge economic year this was for the United States in an excellent new @monthly analysis. Do read. 6/
And just found this new graph, and it is one of our favorites.
New business were created in record numbers in 2021. 7/
Despite the pandemic, most destructive extreme weather in history, an attack on our democracy the American people put their heads down in '21, worked their asses off, innovated, and made the US economy boom.
There are few things that have been more foundational to current DC conventional wisdom than redistricting was going to be a disaster for Ds, hand the House to the Rs.
As a veteran of many election cycles here in DC, it is my professional opinion than when it comes to the 2022 elections I would rather be us than them.
Rs have doubled down on MAGA, a politics the country rejected in the last 2 elections. 2/
On most issues which will matter to the 2022 battleground - COVID, our democracy, health care, climate, choice - the GOP is way out of the mainstream, not competitive.
Just not going to be easy to sell a party of insurrectionists to suburban voters. 3/
The organizing event on Jan 6th was called the "Save America March." We all need to sit on that a bit.
It was a march from the White House to Congress to "save America." What other possible action could they be taking to "save America" other than stopping the vote count? 1/
Trump's formal call to arms to his supporters was made in an official speech from the White House on July 4, 2020, a speech that deserves far more attention than it has gotten. 2/
“American heroes defeated the Nazis, dethroned the fascists, toppled the communists, saved American values...chased down the terrorists to the very ends of the earth. We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists....3/
3/My model is 80% D, 15%I, 5% R which is what the composition of the electorate who votes for a Democratic candidate in a swing state/district might look like.
Goal here is to help us understand where the head is at of the voters we need to talk too.
If Democrats cannot credit for our core promise to voters in 2020 - defeating COVID, securing the recovery - we will not get credit for passing bills whose impacts will not be felt for years.
Here are some graphs with the new jobs numbers factored in, once again showing just how much better Biden and Democrats have been as stewards of the American economy over the past 30 years. 1/
In just 9 months Biden has seen three times as many jobs created on his watch as were created during the last 3 GOP Presidencies, COMBINED.
Obama Clinton 33.8m jobs
Biden 5.6m jobs
2 Bushes, Trump 1.9m jobs
Breaking it down by month, its
Biden 620,000
Clinton Obama 176,000
2 Bushes Trump 9700
Yes that's Biden at 60x times job growth rate than last 3 GOP Presidents, and yes that's 10,000 a month for Rs.
