(3,017 posts)The last liberal Democratic President was LBJ, and he left the Presidency over 47 years ago. The last Democratic President who wasn't a tool of the upper 0.1% and corporations was Jimmy Carter, and he left the Presidency over 35 years ago.
The Democratic Party strategy, as led by the Clintons and the DNC, is to stay one step to the left of the Republican Party as it moves further right and assume the political left has nowhere to go. The DNC has done everything possible to make sure Hillary is the nominee and they don't even try to hide it.
Other than a few social wedge issues that each party uses to stir up the little people on each side and the type of people they will nominate for the Supreme Court (and that difference has probably diminished as the Democratic Party has moved right), there is little difference between the two parties. The Democratic Party today is no more the party of FDR than today's Republican Party is the party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.
