   Forget all other issues, and consider the following: there are two parties. One party almost always enables incredible economic growth, while the other party crashes the economy every time they’re in office, unnecessarily bringing about widespread suffering and profound hardship that touches almost every person in the country.

   Why would anyone vote for the latter? Are people seriously willing to lose their jobs, homes, and life savings if it means lgbtq and not-white people are unhappy? Really?

     @OGjester An important piece of that is that the party that crashes the economy is considered the "Good at economy" party. It's a weird statement, but it's hard to engage.

     @silverwizard I know that moniker has been used historically, but I can’t see how anyone will use it going forward without being laughed at. There are people retiring today who have lived their whole lives without seeing a Republican president who didn’t crash the economy.

     @OGjester Yeah - but people still tell me Stephen Harper was good at economy (as a Canadian this is laughable)
