Most progressive president since FDR?
Really shows how low that bar was/is
Thats whats crazy. I just want these people to stop gaslighting us into thinking Biden was even within pissing distance to FDR.
Its just such bad faith to equate the two.
FDR had his anti-immigrant blemishes, too.
Several, actually.
That was way worse actually, 2/3 of them were US citizens
I agree. I don't know which is more interesting, that the progressive standard-bearer unilaterally executed one of the most egregious civil rights violations of the 20th century, or that progressive voters have completely forgotten that he did.
Yep, you're completely right. FDR's bad immigration stance makes Biden's good. Yep, that is exactly how logic works.
That's quite literally not what I said or implied.
Then what exactly were you implying?
FDR's policy was bad, deplorable even. Biden's policy is also bad.
Are we agreeing on this?
Serious question: who was a more progressive POTUS since FDR?
There hasnt been, what with the rightward drift of the Democratic party. The problem is he is not a progressive.
We've done better on two fronts, gay and civil rights.
Aside from that we are more right leaning by every other metric. Him being 80% less progressive than FDR is not a flex.
Edit: have fun losing this election. Yall are so out of touch with the people if you think Joe Biden is progressive.
