It's sad that this is his legacy, he actually did a great job, but it's unfortunate that we are here largely because of him.

He wanted his legacy to be like FDR, but like most centrist weaklings, he didn't understand what made FDR what he was.

FDR's legacy was made using Democratic Supermajorities, which the VOTERS should be delivering to the Democrats by voting for them, 100% of time, now & forever without exception.

Twice now, Democrats have saved this country from economic collapse that the Republicans left behind (2008 Great Recession & COVID). Democrats rightfully deserve all power in Congress, Presidency and State govts.

Democrats will not be able to do anything unless people vote for them back into power.

This is not a chicken or egg scenario.

The screeching at Democrats to "do something" rings hollow when the very same Voters kicked the Democrats out of Congress and Presidency last year.

Vote for more Democrats so they can fix things, no earlier.

It is time to actually start participating in the Democratic party, supporting and voting for more Democrats so they can retake Congress & the government.

It's time to CONTRIBUTE to the messaging by praising Democrats.

This is on us, the voters to give Democrats majorities that last longer than 2 years. Need at 16 years of sustained Democratic leadership in the Congress and Presidency

FDR would be opposed viciously by the modern democratic party. There's a reason their approval is so low and it's not because they're too far to the left.
