I think dems are just holding off for 2028 at this point, token effort to get Kamala in then focus the donor buxx to congress. Presidential campaigns are expensive, the same amount of money can cram in a few senators.

I will say for the millionth time that Michelle Obama fucking hates politics and has basically told every interviewer who ever asked her about running for president (because libs are broke-brained by the Clintons and cannot conceptualize politics without following their example) to go fuck a cactus.

I looked into it again and @Some Dumb Faggot brought up the statistica stats for 2023 and @George Floyd Sneed brought up FRED's Labor Force Participation rate, which is currently 62.6 as of this post.
Whatever the truth is buried beneath quite possibly fudged numbers to make what could be a nightmare scenario less horrible, a significant number of the population can't find work and we just had a fuck ton of people hop our border recently.

I looked at the FRED page's list of the stats, and this part from the description is bothering me:
The Labor Force Participation Rate is defined by the Current Population Survey (CPS) as “the number of people in the labor force as a percentage of the civilian noninstitutional population […] the participation rate is the percentage of the population that is either working or actively looking for work.”

So those stats are including those that are actively looking for work, which throws off the numbers in such a way that it can't tell you how many people are actually employed. The only thing it can tell you is how many people are ABLE to work, which by it's own is pretty alarming considering that only 2/3 of the population fit that criteria.

This is the site's list of those numbers categorically seperated. Many of them have data going all the way back to the 50's, but some are are recent as 2008-2009. I checked each chart for the periods between 2009 up to now and here are the demographics based on the percentage changes of employment. The landscape prior to 2008 was so different that it's probably not even relevant now, so after removing those numbers, demographic employment changes from 2009 to 2024 look like this:

Increased over 5%:
-Disabled Women aged 16-64

Increased between 2 and 5%:
-Disabled Men aged 16-64, Hispanic/Latino Women(20&up),

Decreased between 2 and 5%:
-Total Population, Non-veterans (18&up), Non-veteran Women (18&up), Gulf war era II veterans, Native-born, Native-born Women, Foreign-born Men, Hispanic/Latino Men (20&up), All Women (20&up), All non-disabled (16&up), Men 20&Up (almost over 5%), White 20&Up, White Women (20&Up),

Decreased 5% or more:
-Total veterans (18&up), Male veterans (18&up), Female veterans (18&up), Gulf War Era I Veterans, Non-veteran males (18&up), Veterans from WWII, Korean War or Vietnam Era, Native-born Men, Some College or AS degree(25&Up), High School Graduates, No College (25&Up), White Men (20&Up), Bachelor's Degree and Higher (25&Up), All 20-24 Year Olds,

Every other category was stagnant or had changes under 2 percent. I put the snapshots of all of those together in a pdf to share, read into that however you will. The takeaway I got from this is: Veterans, degree holders, zoomers and all white people (especially men) are NOT doing well. And the ONLY demographics that had their numbers increase since Obama got into office are latinas, troons and retards. Go figure.
Again, the numbers also reflect those seeking employment so they don't say THAT much, but it does show one thing: the amount of unemployed citizens are increasing in every area except for those with questionable qualifications (putting it generously).
Also found it interesting how, aside from veteran females, white women had the lowest percentage of employment from all the female demographics.

As for 2020 up until now, check the pdf for the charts (gray bar shows when the lockdown happened), but all you need to know is that the only demographics that haven't caught back up to their numbers prior to 2020 are: Non-veteran men older than 18, AS/some college degree holders, male veterans, senior citizens, all white men and all men over 20 years old (Edited: missed a couple). No wonder everything's falling apart.
