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.

    Here in the UK our economy has been on its knees for the past few years because conservatives work only to funnel as much cash as possible into their mates’ pockets.

    Their ‘austerity measures’ crippled the middle and working classes, and literally killed scores of disabled and sick people. But it freed up money for tax cuts to the wealthy, so it was a good job well done for them.

    And that’s why I fucking hate conservatives.
