Basically impossible to compare FDR and politicians from that far back to now. Economics you can argue, socially its such a huge shift that you can't even put them on the same graph.

Being visibly more left socially but not actually doing anything to further human rights or enshrine the rights that have been implemented in the last 50 means that your stance is worth jack ####.

"Oh we love minorities, but we won't do anything but make angry faces and write stern letters to the editor when their rights are trampled upon. Please come photo-op with the 90 year old speaker of the house wearing a dashiki."
