My good friend Bernie has a message just for you
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2706654]You haven't read anything tying economic boom times with Dem administrations (captains on a ship) and economic plunges with Repub administrations over the past 100 years?
Then I recommend you RTFF where I and others have posted links for the timelines for economic trends as related to the POTUS dozens of times or just do a few simple Google Searches yourself on topics like Jobs Created By Presidential Term, History of USA Depressions and Recessions, Bureau of Labor Statistics for its Unemployment Rate By Month Table, etc.
Let me know if a pattern doesn't jump out at you within the first minute of reading any of it. Assuming you also know the timelines for when Dems took over as captain vs when Repubs took over as captain, that is.
And, bear in mind, the word "all" is a word you used here in order to establish an easy "win" for the crap results side, "Bothsiderism". My contention is about the major ups and downs over the past 100 tears, not every piddling momentary sell off or set back.
For example, we just had a quarter of 1.5% negative growth. If the next quarter is negative by 1-3% then it could possibly be considered a recession. Although it is debatable whether or not the official arbiter of such things, National Bureau of Economic Research, would call it one because those two consecutive quarters of economic contraction are so minor, occurred in the midst of ongoing significant jobs creation and wage growth and they barely caused a blip uptick in the unemployment rate.
That would put them in the category of mini recessions like the one we had under Truman and the one we had under Carter.
That would be nothing like Hoover's Great Depression "stewardship", the 3 recessions we had under Captain Eisenhower, the Great Recession under Captain Reagan, the long Recession under Captain Bush1, the next Great Recession under Captain Bush2 or the huge one under Captain Trump.
In those major economic downturns the contractions, jobs losses and / or unemployment rate increases were significant, often historically so.[/QUOTE][URL]https://politicalwire.com/2022/06/09/quote-of-the-day-3229/[/URL]

[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2706716][URL]https://politicalwire.com/2022/06/09/quote-of-the-day-3229/[/URL][/QUOTE]Yeah, your good friend Bernie's expanded message is that the Dems need to make it clear to the American people that "conservatives" of both parties are Do Nothing corporate hack bullshitters and if you want good things for America, vote 'them out.
That would include every Repub in both houses of Congress and 2 Dem Senators:

[QUOTE]"Say to the American people: Look, we dont have the votes to do it right now. We have two corporate Democrats who are not going to be with us, Sanders said, referring to Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.).
The leadership has got to go out and say we don't have the votes to pass anything significant right now. Sorry. You got 48 votes. And we need more to pass it. That should be the message of this campaign.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the lead to your good friend Bernie's full message. I've been stating that same message for decades.
