Sharing a few highlights now in a thread....

Hope you will join us! 1/

ndn.org/WithDems2
The presentation explores, with many data filled slides, perhaps the most important least understood story in US politics today - that when Democrats are in power, things get better. With the GOP, not so much. 2/
Of the 42m jobs created in American since 1989, 40m - 95% - have been created under Democratic Presidents.

It's a stunning statistic, one that perhaps more than any other helps explains why GOP has descended into MAGA. It no longer understands, can manage a changing world. 3/
Story of Dem success, GOP failure has shown up in our elections too.

Since the Cold War ended, Democrats have won more votes in 7 of 8 Presidential elections, the best popular vote run by a political party in US history.

GOP only gotten to 48% plus once since the 1980s. 4/
And perhaps greatest sign of Dem governing success is that those Americans who came of age after 1989, those in their late 40s and younger, are now overwhelmingly Democrats.

It is a judgement based on their lived experience. 5/
So if you find all this interesting, join us today at 1230pm ET for a live presentation of "With Democrats Things Get Better."

All are welcome. Invite friends and colleagues. Share w/others - see you at 1230pm! 6/

To recap a big year:

GDP growth under Biden more than 3 times each of last 3 GOP Presidents

Job growth under Biden 3 times last 3 GOP Presidents COMBINED

40m of 42m jobs created since 1989 - 95% - have come under Dem Presidents.

A thread: 1/
That the economy performs so well under Democrats and does so poorly under Republicans is perhaps the most important least understood story in American politics today.

40m of 42m jobs created since 1989 - 95% - have come under Dem Presidents. 2/
The performance of the US economy in 2021 was truly remarkable.

Strongest GDP growth in almost 40 years.

Over 6m jobs created, three times as many as were created by last 3 GOP Presidents COMBINED. 3/

It's #JobsReport day so time to update our jobs tracker.

The topline:

34m jobs = 16 yrs Clinton Obama
6.2m jobs = 11 months Biden
2m jobs = 16 years 2 Bushes Trump

Already 3 times as many Biden jobs as last 3 GOP Presidents, COMBINED. 1/
Breaking it down by month, jobs have been created at more than 50 times the rate under Biden as under the last 3 GOP Presidents.

Biden = 565k/month
Clinton/Obama = 176k/month
Bushes/Trump = 10k/month

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/

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.

Turns out that hot take was wrong. '22 map will be far better for Dems than CW held. 1/

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/

ndn.org/3-reasons-why-…
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/

The key passage:

“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/

My headline for today:

“3 times as many jobs created in Biden’s first ten months as were created under last 3 GOP Presidents, combined”
OK, kicking off our monthly thread which shows how much better Dems have been for US economy over past 3 decades. 2 stats:

95% of all jobs created since 1989 have come under Dem Presidents

3 times as many jobs have been created under Biden than last 3 GOP Presidents, combined
The last 3 Republican Presidents brought recessions and rising unemployment rates.

The last 3 Dem Presidents have brought growth, rising wages, lower unemployment rates.

1/So every 2 weeks when @NavigatorSurvey drops its data, I create something I call a "Saliency Index" using their top 4 most important issue question.

The index takes the data and projects what it looks like for our likely voters in swing district/state.

navigatorresearch.org/wp-content/upl…
2/Here it is:

COVID 59%
Economy/Jobs 57%
Health Care 42%
Climate/Extreme Weather 34%
Soc Sec/Medicare 33%
Inflation 27%
Govt Corruption 23%
Immigration 21%
Nat Security 19%
Violent Crime 17%
Afghanistan 11%
Abortion 11%
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.
