Midnight Meme Of The Day!
>
When FDR's funeral train was making its way to his final resting place in Hyde Park, NY, a man who politicians like to refer to as an "ordinary American," famously said "I didn't know him, but FDR knew me." Judging the FDR quote in today's meme, FDR knew scum like Donald Trump and Paul Ryan, too, even though he never met them.

The New Deal is a chapter in American history that the Right has been trying to erase since Roosevelt 'imposed' it on them. Trump is on the verge of substantially completing the task. If it's inevitable, I suggest we look seriously at dismantling the TVA and taking down all the wires in the rural South's electric grid.
We in the Blue States have paid for those projects many times over. The beneficiaries have responded by biting the hand that fed.
FDR was AMAZING. He spoke the truth out so clearly.Bernie has many similarities.
Thank you, Noah, for this wonderful meme.
Yes, Bernie's words are a lot like FDR's. But FDR would never have taken that ratfucking by the DNC and turtled. He never would have endorsed HER. I believe that he would have fought on as independent knowing that if the democraps were members of the evil that he was describing in the quote, he could never remain associated with THEM.
So... rhetorically, Bernie is similar. But as far as courage and principles, he wouldn't qualify to scrape the dog shit off of FDR's shoes.
Unfortunately, Hone, FDR had courage to act which Sanders demonstrated at the Convention that he does not. He coulda been a contender. Now, he's HER! palooka.
I might add that in '33, there was NO PRECEDENT for what FDR did (Keynsian economics...) and he (and a democratic party that stood for people) did it AND sold the people on it AND dared the money to try to stop him.
In 2009 - 2016, the FDR/Democratic precedent existed; the history of efficacy is still tangible; and yet obamanation (in a very FDR-like situation) and Bernie BOTH refused to act with the courage of the conviction to do, again, what has already proven effective.
I believe we have plenty of evidence that obamanation was a charlatan, a money whore from the time he was a political zygote. Bernie's true inner principles are still unconfirmed.
But if you subscribe to the biblical meme: "by their fruits shall ye know them", then he's no better than obamanation because his actual deeds are no better.
FDR: The New Deal
TRUMP: The Raw Deal
