67. FDR my ass

Sun Jun 19, 2016, 11:14 PM

Jun 2016

FDR was as pragmatic a politician as we have ever seen. He pushed where he could and retreated and backtracked when necessary. Most of all he was the ultimate insider and could form coalitions with whoever would help him push his agenda. The one thing he was not was a one trick pony like Bernie.

Oh, and he schemed behind the scenes to prep us for a big ass war he wanted to get into. And that was before we knew the evil our enemies were.

You guys act like we Hillary voters are either evil republicans or rubes. Ever think we do not disagree with Bernie's points but think his history proves he is incapable of working on a team? I have always thought he is a ideologue who I generally considered dangerous. So yall run on over to JPR and learn what a true echo chamber sounds like. You will have a few hundred kindred souls.

Have a nice evening.
