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.

What we need is to put all those politicians in jail they should never be allowed to run for public office.

FDR would see no real allies in your fake progressive Dem party ESPECIALLY The Fraud Squad.

Considering that FDR's policies likely prolonged the Great Depression and his EO 6102 basically confiscated the majority of privately owned gold I'm not sure that clown is the one you want to align yourself with.😂

Most Dems think FDR was too far left.

There's precious few FDR dems in the DNC at this point and I suspect most of them are closeted for fear of being primaried. The Democratic Party has been Republican since at least the Clinton administration. The only other prominent figure in DC whose values jibe w/ FDR is Bernie
