With Democrats, Things Get Better - Above you can find a recording of my latest presentation of “With Democrats, Things Get Better,” recorded on Friday, January 19th.
With Dems is a 30-minute deep dive on what I think is the most important, least understood story in American politics today - that when Democrats are in the White House, things get better in America. The economy grows, incomes rise, the deficit comes down, and America moves ahead. When Republicans are in power, however, we’ve seen recession, higher deficits, American decline; and now this party which has repeatedly failed to do its part has become a serious threat to our democracy itself.
This presentation, its data and its arguments are foundational to understanding this Hopium project, and I hope you will take the time to watch it in coming days. While I do not release the power point deck itself, many of the graphs can be found in our day to day work here and I’ve included some key graphs and slides below. If you like With Dems please share it widely through your networks and help bring this powerful message about the greatness of the Democratic Party to those who need to hear it.
So watch if you can, chew on it, learn more here, and let’s keep working hard everyone. I am proud of my country, proud of my President and proud of my party, and I look forward to continuing to be loud and proud about it all with all of you - Simon
