I TBH have a lot of mixed emotions about FDR and yet I know the New Deal started my family’s journey to the middle class. I’ve always preferred Truman to FDR truth be told since Truman was more gutsy with the racists than FDR was. But ultimately the thing is that FDR like any President compromised. And FDR had a lot more political skill than Sanders does. I don’t dismiss the legitimacy of the fact that Sanders won this past Tuesday in New Hampshire but it’s the lowest a Democrat won in New Hampshire since 1952. Bernie isn’t building the next great Democratic coalition or continuing on the last one.

those were my points

- coalition / principled compromise

- being well off doesnt exclude caring about more than just yourself

as for bernie, one reason why his NH win was lower than historically may be because there are 4-5 other *substantial* candidates. how often has that happened?

and i dont have the electoral math history

and now the yard awaits
