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.

History. The US is history. Why think otherwise? As this nation's concerns are increasingly understood as vampiristic, why continue the lie?

Who are the "FDR Democrats" right now? FDR only implemented policies begrudgingly because worker revolts were happening and he knew it was the only way to SAVE capitalism. Worker protests are what accomplish results, electoral politics is almost never the answer.

Yes, FDR Democrats, that is, traditional American economic liberals, did all that, and some never capitulated to conservative / "neoliberal" economics, anti-democracy bad economics in the conservative style, so prone to coddle big money, economic power, corporate interests.

Agree it is an important agenda 2 remove corporate ownership of our politicians, both parties. However, most important issue 4 me is sovereignty over my own body. Dem's insistence on covid mandates & willingness 2 persecute those that didn't want them will be top for me in 2024.

Please state EXPRESSLY what you are tacitly acknowledging: you are a Dem Party Loyalist who believes in your ‘superiority’ to others across the aisle. And you have ZERO INTENTION of making a “dirty break”. You are MISleading folks to thinking Dems are Ppl 1st.
