Democrats just don't get how this works. They think they can keep lying about how great these economic indicators look. They tell people we are doing great! See these numbers? After 6 years and all this crap about 14 stratight months of adding jobs etc people are realizing things are not getting better.
These new part time many jobs suck and there are not enough, so stop blowing smoke up our skirts. There is your answer for the wave of governors. That is the people speaking in the states. Also, there is a reason the presidents base didn't come out. They COULDN'T SUPPORT the DEMOCRATS BUT WERE NOT GOING TO VOTE REPUBILICAN. So they voted by staying home. Independents broke big time to reublicans. These are the realities democrats want to spin away.

Not Looking for Work: Why Labor Force Participation Has Fallen During the Recession
The American economy is experiencing the slowest recovery in 70 years. In addition to persistently high unemployment, labor force participation has fallen sharply since the recession began in December 2007. Today, nearly 5 million fewer Americans are working or looking for work. This drop accounts for virtually the entire reduction of the unemployment rate since 2009—those not looking for work do not count as unemployed.
Demographic changes explain approximately one-fifth of the drop in labor force participation. The baby boomers are aging and thus more likely to retire, dropping out of the labor force. The remaining drop in participation primarily comes from millions more people going on disability insurance or attending school. While those enrolled in school will probably return to the labor force, those going on the disability rolls will not. They will remain permanently outside the labor force.
The difficulty of finding a job drives both these changes. Job creation fell sharply after the recession began, and—unlike the number of layoffs—has not recovered. The government’s responses have been largely ineffective. Instead of voting for vast subsidies and public works programs, Congress should reduce the tax and regulatory burden it imposes on businesses to encourage hiring and stop the fall in labor force participation.
