My outsider perspective has always been that the usa democratic party was simply about keeping the masses “happy”, with the entire emphasis on the quotation marks, giving juuuust enough leeway on something while doing everything the corporate overlords demanded
My insider perspective says you’re absolutely correct.
Did the “corporate overlords” demand the last 3 Dem presidents raise taxes on the wealthy and/or corporations? That would be weird since their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd top priorities are tax cuts for billionaire elites.
Then how did FDR create Social Security, LBJ create Medicare, and Obama create the ACA?
The one and only way to achieve major progress is for Dems to win and win big.
And the only way to win the class war is to raise the top tax rate on billionaires back to 70% or 90%.
The tone of your response is off. They’re sharing an impression that they admit is a perception from outside. There are 236 other countries in the world, and they probably don’t learn much at all about FDR as we do.
