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.

You're all corrupt because you associate with a party that represents corporations.

FDR was a classical fascist, hun. You don't want to be associated with him.

Marianne - an idea. Remember the ice bucket challenge that went viral. Create New Fireside Chats, where people all over, from invisible to celebrities, post themselves cheerleading for a better world. Get a vibe going. You have the big audience to start it off!

"Woke Capitalism" is just another con game to make people feel better as they are separated from their money, their family, and their future. Capitalism is superior, but is predatory by nature, which is why proper regulation & a separation of business & govt. is an imperative.

If you want less corruption work for limited government and great civic engagement. FDR was not that.
