FDR Democrats work unapologetically and unabashedly to support the working people of the United States. But we are only part of the Democratic Party today, as the corporatist wing of the party is all for making people feel better - but only so far as it doesn’t challenge profit maximization for their major corporate donors. Wall Street clearly still owns both major parties - and while the Republicans are definitely much worse, that cannot remain our excuse forever. The point should not be to help people *survive* an unjust system; it should be to *end* an unjust system. In the richest country in the world, the economy shouldn't be so hard for the average American to survive. We need more than the alleviation of stress; we need fundamental economic reform. That is the agenda that will beat the Republicans in 2024.

FDR only did what he did because the population was going to go after the elites. He didn't do it for Americans.

I think that in the long term even the richest Americans would do better if we did out best so that ordinary Americans thrive. If we profit they profit.

FDR Democrats are the "Window Dressing" part of the modern Democratic Party. The party leadership openly mocks anyone opposing the corporate, militarist party line.

"FDR Democrats" FDR caved to the pressure of the communist party... understand that it will take the same type of pressure in order for a political party to serve the people.. it will take the pressure of a 3rd party .. nothing else ever produced results. #2PartyHostageSituation

You are a neolib corporatist. You empower a neolib corporatist party. You shamelessly gaslight and mislead those in desperate need trying to manipulate them back into your neolib corporatist party. You are reprehensible.

If you are saying we need "fundamental economic reform", then please explain what that means to you. Implicitly, any reform has include a drastic reduction in the Pentagon's budget, but nowhere do you say this.
