    You think the Democrats of FDR’s time have more in common with Republicans of today whose sole purpose is the dismantling of everything FDR did?

    Talk about willful misinterpretation.

      very true since you’re efforts to steer the conversation away from party platforms towards a political outlier makes this clear.

        You think FDR was a political outlier? The man who ran the entire party for 4 terms and crafted the legislation of over a decade? That’s a political outlier?

        And I guess his entire Congress was an outlier too?

          he’s our only 4 term president; he’s one of the biggest political outliers there is.

          why do you keep steering the topic away from the party platforms?

            So I guess that entire decade and a half of History doesn’t count for reasons? That’s amazing isn’t it? As for party platform we’ve already talked about it it was the New Deal, Social Security, medicare, civil rights, voting rights, Etc… All the things conservatives hate most in the world. But please try to pretend that conservatives haven’t been trying to destroy those basically since the day they were enacted. Please try to pretend that you’re conservative friends are actually in favor of freedom despite every single action they’ve taken. What absolute drivel.

              the last 2 decades of progress happened because of hollywood along with political agitators and the only drivel presented here are your failed attempts to create a link between fdr with today’s democrats where they share nothing more than a party name.

              also you are the only one who said anything about conservatives attempting to destroy the new deal, social security, medicare, civil rights, etc. and, for the record, i agree with you on this point.
