    Democrats talk big game, but somehow always seem to be too weak to get anything done. 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.
