I’ll leave it at this though single-issue voting is fucking stupid.
Amen to that. I wish the Democrats could find their FDR again. The guy did a good job of making the case for economic populism and for the working class. It’s almost like they run away from such things now. It’d be really, really easy to garner massive support for a candidate that spoke like that guy. Ironically, he was considered the compromise by many on the left. The left would do well to remember that, too.
When people go on about term limits for Congress, I often think of this guy. This guy was popular enough to die in office, because he had 4 terms.
I think Democrats should think twice about a lot of things (term limits, blather about a “gerontocracy”, but most especially economic populism), and remember FDR.
