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.

Please state the platform of the so-called "FDR Democrats" - Does it have protections on raising the Fed minimum wage to inflation, collective bargaining, social safety nets (SS, retirement plans), medical insurance, housing, and education?

TBF FDR was ALMOST as racist as @marwilliamson I still think he didn't really share Marianne's love of watching Palestinian children get sniped in the skull.

The Democrats and Republicans are the same. If Democrats were different, they would declare a war on poverty. 39 million suffering in poverty. 600,000 homeless living on the streets. 9 million starving. Democrats have no moral high ground. Stop pretending they are different!

Superbly stated!

You're lying here... Neither party gives a crap about workers. Parties that care about workers don't break union actions... You've lost me. I don't have time for partisan B.S.
