Fox cable hosts are doing the job of the chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Jared Bernstein, by admitting that the economy under President Biden is strong. Bernstein joins MSNBC’s Ali Velshi to discuss the latest “expectation-busting” jobs report.

      People making minimum wage are not the largest group of earners, its actually a very tiny minority of workers that earn the minimum wage.

        This person just wants to be angry. They haven’t proposed anything useful or mentioned anything possible to change. They might feel bad and not vote.

        Don’t let them pull you down to their level. Even if you’re depressed about the state of things, vote anyway. The people causing the problems want you to be depressed and not vote. Vote anyway. You can still complain later.

        Edit: told you

                Give us a Democratic supermajority, and we will rock your world with positive effects. That’s what we’re asking. It’s not a “just keep voting” thing, it’s a specific goal: we need enough Democrats in the legislature to override Republicans.

                    No. I’m not prescribing any specific actions because that will depend on your area. In general:

                    • If you don’t vote blue, vote blue
                    • If you do vote blue, vote blue in every election
                    • If you vote blue in every election, encourage others to do so
                    • If your area is already a blue stronghold, get online and try to convince people from other areas to vote blue

                    The goal is democratic supermajority. However you can best help achieve that, please do.
