6. I hope he makes connection between FDR being great wartime president & dem socialism

And that GB, after suffering so much worse than we did, became a democratic socialist state immediately after the war.

There seem to be some people that think we can't walk and chew gum at the same time, and that focusing on economic injustice distracts from fighting a lunatic fringe of jihadists.

Roosevelt was strong against Nazis and believed that the strongest America was one build on economic justice. (that's the tack I hope he takes)

8. Big applause for saying we need to address climate change. n/t
