minus-squareBlackbeard@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down2·edit-23 months agoI 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.
minus-squarePopOfAfrica@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down7·3 months agoYep, you’re completely right. FDR’s bad immigration stance makes Biden’s good. Yep, that is exactly how logic works.
minus-squareBlackbeard@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down3·3 months agoThat’s quite literally not what I said or implied.
minus-squarePopOfAfrica@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down4·3 months agoThen what exactly were you implying? FDR’s policy was bad, deplorable even. Biden’s policy is also bad. Are we agreeing on this?
minus-squareBOMBS@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down3·3 months agoSerious question: who was a more progressive POTUS since FDR? Maybe LBJ with civil rights, Medicare and Medicaid, but Vietnam. Maybe Jimmothy Carter, but he is commonly regarded as a bit unsuccessful as a president
minus-squarePopOfAfrica@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15arrow-down6·edit-23 months agoThere 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.
