That’s a shocking statement. Some may say FDR was due to the implementation of Social Security and those Gov. job programs to provide busywork after the depression.
But these presidents at least provided the windowdressings of Democracy. Sanders won’t even bother to pretend.
Reporters have asked Bernie how will his big programs get paid for? In the recent past, he has said;
“I don’t really know right now.” He’s not too worried about that part. Liz Warren, almost the same story.
It’s not a shocking statement if you know history. FDR was a pretty thoroughgoing Socialist Dictator. It took his death to remove him from office. He chose an outright pro-Soviet Communist as his VP in 1940, Henry Wallace. Anyone that can’t see that the Democrat party was hijacked by the Socialist left in 1896 and was generally sympathetic to every Socialist-Communist dictatorship from 1912-onwards just isn’t paying attention. Look at the two decades from 1933-53 that Communists got well embedded into the government. Even Eisenhower, whose father was a Socialist, stood by and did little to stop the infiltration and was more concerned about whistleblowers (McCarthy) than exposing and removing them from government, the diplomatic corps and other aspects of society.
The only difference between Bernie Sanders and FDR/Wilson, is that he’s being a lot more open and honest about their end goals of Socialist-Marxist dystopia.
Harry Truman and JFK were partisan Democrats but they would almost qualify as honorary members of the John Birch Society compared to the current crop of Democratic candidates running for President (all of them, even Tulsi). Truman had served in WWI and was from a county in Missouri which had strongly supported the Confederate side in the War. Kennedy was a WWII veteran and a Cold Warrior. Plus he cut taxes.
