    I don’t know that it’s too leftist for me - just a lot of the personalities are too much for me - i can’t listen to anymore Bernie-would’ve-won and Hillary’s-a-war-criminal 8 years later.

    I also think Hillary would’ve been a great president for real, so no one likes me either.

      A lot of people think Biden is a great president, which shows you just how low the bar is these days. FDR had a literal plot on his life and still had the balls to rule as a socialist, and he was so popular he ended up the longest-serving president in US history.

        We don’t rule in the US, we govern with the consent of the people.

        But yes, FDR was the tits. And a native New Yorker. But he also was extraordinarily popular which is what allowed him to do what he did. He was also a wealthy elite with connections - his cousin was a president too.
