"Which party is better for the economy"
Fuck those 114.6 million people in the US who were food insecure in 2023 source Didn't they know The Economy was booming? Maybe if they knew they wouldn't be starving to death/ facing less than optimal purchases of healthy food.
Which party is better for the actual citizens who live here not the 759 Dragons
*Edit: My reply was meant to be a knee jerk specifically to the title of the article - leading with the question about how which political party is good for the economy, as if humans are second to "line go up". The answer is the same, obviously, but how it was framed makes it a money focused question, rather than a "citizen's issues" question.
In terms of what the article is arguing, you could just as easily swap in the term ‘society’ in place of ‘the economy’ and the rest of the facts hold true.
Blue states are far from perfect, but they drastically out-perform red states in terms of health, education, income and environment.
The Democrats are better by far.
Free School Lunch Child tax Rebate Job Creation Wealth tax Lower middle class taxes Stood with the striking workers just last week Aren't responsible for any of the major economic crashes in my lifetime
The Democrats aren't perfect, I could go for an anti corporate third party. But of the two choices they are head and shoulders better. Especially as long as they're up against the only American president to lose a trade war.
those 759 are more valuable than the bottom half
