    Serious question: who was a more progressive POTUS since FDR?

    • Maybe LBJ with civil rights, Medicare and Medicaid, but Vietnam.
    • Maybe Jimmothy Carter, but he is commonly regarded as a bit unsuccessful as a president

      There hasnt been, what with the rightward drift of the Democratic party. The problem is he is not a progressive.

      We’ve done better on two fronts, gay and civil rights.

      Aside from that we are more right leaning by every other metric. Him being 80% less progressive than FDR is not a flex.

      Edit: have fun losing this election. Yall are so out of touch with the people if you think Joe Biden is progressive.
