(19,537 posts)If FDR was such a great "capitalist", then why were the likes of JP Morgan and others in FDR's day so set on having Smedley Butler join them in a FASCIST coup to try and follow in the footsteps of Mussolini that they probably more admired in their desire for a "capitalist" leader. Of course, that event was censored from our textbooks even without the Texas school board from the same groups of people like you that want to serve someone in echoing the Republicans in their chants "Socialism bad, capitalism good!" mantras that are being pushed on us from corporate money everywhere these days.
If you feel that leftists are "fools", why don't you join the Republicans that aren't "fools" as you describe the left as being. You might feel more at home where they aren't as objecting to those who like corporatism there.
So, what is Sanders so much "more left" than FDR was that has you feel he's bad for the party and the country in general.
Be SPECIFIC! Not the generalizing CRAP that of just dwelling on the "socialist" namecalling bits with not details other than just showing that you can echo others' pejoratives.
