There hasn't been anything close to a leftist president in America since FDR.

Ah yes, FDR, who rounded up Japanese Americans and put them in ~~concentration~~ internment camps.

Which is a rather interesting parallel to Biden and Palestine, or Biden and US border patrol, or Biden and law enforcement.

All that to say it's probably not possible to be the US president and not do heinously evil shit, and therefore voting for president needs to be strategic, pragmatic, and nuanced, rather than ideological

How FDR Saved Capitalism | Hoover Institution

During the economic crisis of the 1930s, many expected a socialist revolution. The revolution never came. Why? The man in the White House co-opted the left. By Hoover fellow Seymour Martin Lipset and Gary Marks.
