With Democrats Things Get Better - Hope You Will Watch My Presentation This Month
This month's live presentation is this Thursday, 4/13 at 1pm EST
On Friday I posted my monthly look at the new jobs numbers and the overall state of the US economy. I think this one makes a pretty compelling case that Joe Biden has been a very good President and the country is far better off today.
The graphs in that monthly post were all originally made for my big presentation, With Democrats Things Get Better. I present With Dems every month, and each time it is fresh, new, and updated - new data, new analysis, new charts and new graphs. I update it each month so it always has the latest data and arguments to help you be a better information warrior, but also because it forces me to look and spend time with all this data each month. It keeps me fresh, makes me better at my own work too.
This month’s live presentation is this Thursday, April 13th at 1pm EST. You can RSVP here, or watch a recording that will be here on the Hopium site when you have the time. This post gives a bit more background on the ideas and big arguments in With Dems.
I am writing because I want to encourage all of you to try to watch With Dems this month. It is the foundation for all that we are going to do here. It is decades of my work distilled into a single 30-minute presentation. It tells a very important story that is core to my unyielding optimism about the country and the Democratic Party - that when we have been in power, things get better; and that our party has been, over the past 100 years, arguably the most significant political force for good in all of human history.
Intrigued, excited, hopeful even? Then come watch With Dems this month. It is perhaps the most important work of my long career, and I promise it will leave you uplifted, proud of your country and your party, and ever more ready to go take on MAGA.
Thanks again for being part of these early days of Hopium. See you Thursday! Simon

I have seen the presentation at least 6 times but I signed up and will show up on Thursday to be counted and see our fellow patriots do the same ❤️
Really looking forward to this. My nephew just signed up for Hopium Chronicles! I told him that of all the newsletters, newspapers, etc. that grace, my inbox, you and Heather are my mainstays and that did it for him.
TECHNICAL CONCERN: I will find a way to get in on the 13th but I keep wondering if maybe you lost people on the Hopium zoom this past week because it was not easy to get in, for me, anyway. although I registered early, the only way I finally got in was to register again and at that point there was a button to join "meeting in progress." I looked and looked and never received a link to put into my calendar. Perhaps this is happening for others? If it's just me, no worries. I'll figure it out.
