I did some comparisons on different aspects of how America is doing right now compared to how it was doing at this time four years ago.
I put the links to the sources of information here so you can check for yourself.
1) Unemployment, the Deficit and the Debt

The more whiny Trump cries, whines and lies about the election, the more I’ll show research that shows that he lost and exactly why he lost.
Note to Trump supporters asking “why do you keep bringing him up?” Easy answer: he won’t shut his lying pie hole.
This is HOW he lost.
And this is HOW he lost.
He lost a lot of the white voters, college educated voters and independents who supported him in 2016.
In 2016, Donald Trump won Independents in every one of the six states that he flipped from blue to red.
In 2020, Donald Trump lost Independents in every one of the five states that Joe Biden flipped from red to blue.
Is it somehow strange that Trump lost the election? No. It would have been much stranger had Trump managed to win the election.
No one as consistently unpopular as him has ever been re-elected. Like ever.

Okay, so here is a more complete rundown of how the last three Presidential Elections went down. And some more mythbusting of Trump's lies about the 2020 Election. https://t.co/3M9c79wHop pic.twitter.com/eRNRKQZzzB

Arizona - the trend of the state (clearly trending toward the Dems after 2012) and the groups Trump improved/declined with between 2016, when he won and 2020, when he lost. pic.twitter.com/ZxUXyui83R

We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this.
The community’s response? Outrage.
Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.
When we talk about bringing jobs to the community, we need to dig deep:
- Has the company promised to hire in the existing community?
- What’s the quality of jobs + how many are promised? Are these jobs low-wage or high wage? Are there benefits? Can people collectively bargain?
Displacement is not community development. Investing in luxury condos is not the same thing as investing in people and families.
Shuffling working class people out of a community does not improve their quality of life.
We need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent. Corporations that offer none of those things should be met w/ skepticism.
It’s possible to establish economic partnerships w/ real opportunities for working families, instead of a race-to-the-bottom competition.

Amazon will divide its second headquarters evenly between New York's Long Island City and Arlington County's Crystal City neighborhoods. Other cities may also receive major sites. https://t.co/c1lKmeQinX
