Here are some research studies and news articles from a variety of sources pointing to one fact: The US economy does better under Democratic leadership.

I'm sure we can come up with some reasons why this difference exists, but you can't 'fake news' the numbers. 1.9% higher GDP growth under Democratic presidents. One study removes the effect of the two recent recessions under Bush and Trump administrations, and there's still a 1% point gap. Republicans tend to leave office with massive debt and recessions, and Democrats tend to leave the economy in a better place than when they took office. Not sure why, maybe you all have some answers.

republicans are all about culture wars to distract from them doing the bidding of their donor daddies. Then obstruct anything the democrats are doing when they aren't in power.

Democrats are corporate puppets too but not to the same degree and not all of them. They comprise of people from Joe Manchin all the way to Bernie Sanders while republicans are 90% made up of ghouls like matt gaetz and joe cotton and whoever else. The republican party is made from the worst US politics has to offer to cater to the worst americans

Tl;Dr:. The GOP is a unified block of awfulness aimed at a very specific base. Democrats are all the rest which is why it's difficult for them to please everyone

Yes, figures don't lie.

In no scenario in our lifetime have we ever seen a chart that was misleading. All of them have attained perfection in taking into account all relevant variables, and never are they constructed with bias.

A chart on the Internet (even a wordpress.com site) is always trustworthy and always proves exactly what it purports to prove.

GDP is a number. Explain how it's misleading here.

I was hoping for an honest response to these numbers, but it appears conservatives simply accept the catastrophic consequences of Republican policy on economies, in exchange for all the culture wars BS.

The difference between a 3% economy and a 2% economy is huge. That's the Dem vs. GOP divide over the last 80 years of US history.
