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.

if the Democratic party and a Democratic president won't stand up for railroad workers that basically allowed what happened in East Palestine Ohio. then why should we have faith that the party actually cares for workers. does the party only care about workers to look good

Pretty sure the Democratic Party has been hostile to FDR for 40-45 years now.
