(62,287 posts)FDR showed that. Yet so many here fawned over "The Roosevelts" without recognizing he was a strategist, to the point of being silent on lynching laws while southern Democrats defended them! To the point of putting a KKK guy into the SCOTUS! To the point of snubbing the black Olympic runner who said Hitler, of all fucking people, treated him with more respect.
Now that Obama no longer has the Senate I'm sure you'll criticize him for wanting to give people free community college or guaranteed paid leave when they're sick or calling upon states to stop their internet provider monopolistic practice. Of course you will. You'll claim he is just pandering, etc. Nevermind he literally had a majority for 49 fucking days of his entire Presidency. Nevermind he has never once had his budgets pass (it's always been continuing resolutions, because the black man can't be allowed to pass a budget).
It is grotesque. Shameful. The Democrats are different and are better and will do better and achieve better.
