Who's the most progressive president since fdr?
FDR was really the only slightly good (post-Lincoln) US president. And that was really only because he knew heads were going to start rolling if the government didn't throw some bones to the working class.
Who was the most progressive president since fdr?
Your original comment suggested you have an opinion on this
I don't really have an opinion on it, I think it's a meaningless aphorism.
Uh huh
Nuh uh
Sick burn
I think he was saying the line between FDR and the other presidents is so wide that calling anyone else progressive by comparison would essentially be changing what it means to be progressive.
LBJ if u ignore the vietnam war, Carter. Probably JFK too.
Fair reply thanks
I think the insane-o mode pick is Nixon with the clean water act and epa but otherwise....
Who cares? But if you were just talkig about the environment it would be Nixon.
No one cares and nothing matters, life is pointless.
But this is a message board so we should send messages.
I actually commented about Nixon too, funny enough
