It’s also pure messaging habits. Republicans will always and incessantly claim that the economy is better when they’re in charge, even if it’s tanking. But Dems fear ever saying the economy is improving out of respect for the poor and working class who never ~feel~ it improving.
this really is one where Democratic messaging is so bad. Republicans suck at the economy! they think if you have some peaky boom cycles it's better than sustained growth -- which it is if you're day-trading, maybe, but otherwise no! Democratic economies = sustained growth instead of coke binges
One of the political fallacies that drives me the most crazy is that the GOP is better at “the economy”.
They aren’t! The economy has repeatedly grown more under Democrats! The GOP isn’t even better at growing corporate profits! It’s just better at oligarchic income!
