    For some people FDR is the closest thing they can imagine to be progressive politics. The progressive-conservative switch in the Republican and Democratic Parties always makes for weird statements. You’ve got neo-nazis and neo-confederates controlling the Republican Party and Republicans say they are the party of Lincoln.

      Lol, maybe that’s what progressives need to do just invade Republican politics and take IT over!

      Switch the sides again!

        Might be easier than getting Democrats to treat progressives as valued members of their constituency.

        That’s what Democrats have been trying to do since Bill Clinton. The Republicans have already been captured by the MAGA movement, where as the Democrats have yet to be captured by a movement. So for progressives and socialists, it should be easier to capture the Democrats.

        It’s like pokemon. =p
