?🤔 FDR is my favorite president, but he was a liberal, not a democratic socialist. He believed in capitalism. His policies were intended to rein in capitalism's excesses & cycles, and regulate it. He wanted to rebuild Americans' faith in the capitalist system after the 1929 crash & Great Depression.

I lived through the Great Depression and my parents never looked at FDR as a socialist but more like a savior who used the government to have programs to turn things around. FDR was more of a pragmatist who believed government and capitalism can work together for the good of the country.

I don't know that FDR was a democratic socialist, but I don't see anything proposed by Mamdani that is outside something that a New Deal Democrat might propose.

It must be great for white people of European descent to enjoy the peace of Portland. Of course you're not personally responsible for wiping out the Indigenous people, but still,,,
