However, when it comes to suppressing the Left and trying to prevent worker radicalization, they are mysteriously competent in comparison.

I think this is because of FDR

Not really, it's more caused by being a mainstream party in a bourgeois democracy.

That's one of the reasons. Another reason is FDR painted Democratic Party as party for the workers with his social policies when served as president

Kinda? That wasn't because of FDR, more it was a response to increasing Communist sympathies as a way to prevent revolution. FDR was responding to the political climate, it wasn't a decision made out of context.
