Folks need to stop saying the Democrats can't run on the economy because "it is doing so well." Running against this kind of grotesque system isn't just morally right, it's a winning strategy.. twitter.com/JohnOCAP/statu…

The economy isn't doing well, no matter what the BLS stats and consumer confidence numbers say.
The Fed is printing $6 billion a month in "Not QE," has lowered rates three times w/ more to come.
What kind of healthy economy can't handle 2% interest rates + needs constant QE?

Democrats can't run on the economy if they're going to continue being a party primarily concerned with wall street, corporations, or at best relatively comfortable professionals. They win on economy when they fight for average working class americans. They need to choose.

“Strong economy” for who??? The rich? Well off middle class? Sanders needs to highlight the fact that so many people are wage slaves, working two-three jobs just to stay alive

It is soooo deceitful for the top 1% to brag about how well the economy is doing —for the top 1%!

And they are the system of Wall Street health ability doesn’t translate to the people working two and three jobs just to pay rent. Recently, the media touting Apple, Microsoft and Amazon trillion dollar valuations. Boasting NASDAQ is up 2.3 trillions. I mean this is capitalism.

I am wondering how long this can prolong, where the corporations have destroyed this planet as we know it. Forget what they told us about climate change and how we can stop the bleed, we can’t. We already pass the redline. Let’s pray Mother Earth, stem the damage or we are doom.

If Bernie wasn't running, I guarantee the narrative about the economy would be different. They can't admit one negative aspect of it because they know it would fuel Bernie support.

The statistics of how the bottom half of the great economy is really doing should be chanted at every rally and debate

It's only good for the elites. If you're working class or below, it sucks!
