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.

Marianne, I'm sorry to inform you, but there are no FDR Democrats anymore. JFK was killed & the Clintons snuffed out the last vestiges of support for the working class when they turned the Democratic party into a right-wing anti-worker neoliberal corporatist warmongering party.

It's always interesting how you state that Team Red is worse, but there are 10-20 republicans voting against endless wars, MIC, reckless spending and a total of zero democrats. Sadly, it would only take 10-20 democrats to join them on these specific issues to turn the tide.

As much good as FDR did, what he ultimately did was convince the labor movement to capitulate to neoliberal forces saving capitalism from devouring itself. He saved Wall Street from itself. As we see now, that framework itself would inevitably crack under the stress of greed.

M.W “A corrupt political establishment has perpetrated a scam on people that has lasted over 80 years. The scam is an unholy alliance between corporate powers (Globalist) and the politicians they OWN. This corrupt status quo will not disrupt itself. That’s our job”

Capitalism is the unjust system. Are you talking about ending that?

we still live in a country without a healthcare system where people are left to die if they can't afford to go to a doctor when they need to.

Democrats are just as bad as Republicans. It's a uni-party. Stop gaslighting us.
