"Former president #BillClinton, speaking during the third night of the #Democratic convention on Wednesday, presented a bit of data...
“Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, #America has created about 51 million new #jobs... What’s the score? Democrats 50, Republicans one.”
That is: 50 million jobs added under Democratic presidents and 1 million under #Republicans."

Under the three #Democrats — #Clinton, Barack #Obama and Joe #Biden — there was a cumulative increase of 50 million more people working between the starts of their terms and the ends. Under the three #Republicans — George H.W. #Bush, George W. Bush and Donald #Trump — the cumulative total was, in fact, only 1 million.”

You left out the </s> sarcasm label at the end of your statement. 😉
"that's because Republicans are good for the economy, right? </s>"
Though I suppose if you want to really lean into the software symbology, you'd use <s> at the beginning and </s> at the end.
"<s>that's because Republicans are good for the economy, right?</s>"
But that's getting really picky. 😄
(Don't mean to offend. Sarcasm can be hard to project/detect online.)
