No no no. This is not historically accurate at all mate.

FDR might not have been as progressive as some wanted but he was FAR more experimentalist and open to building from the bottom up than NoDrama ever did. Please study the impact FDR had with:

  • Social Security Administration
  • Works Progress Administration
  • Tennessee Valley Authority
  • Public Works Administration
  • The Federal Emergency Relief Act

I don't have the time to break all this down but the bold is just massively off base and pretty much ignores a huge bulk of what Roosevelt did. Check this out if you have the time

I think you got the wrong idea about what I meant. FDR was obviously much more combative and no one can deny where his allegiance were, but his approach at the very least at the beginning of his presidency was conciliatory towards the oligarchic interests, much the same way Obama did, it wasn’t all fire and fury and getting the working class behind a movement, Al Smith once said you can’t get FDR to commit to any position. It’s only when he becomes increasingly frustrated that they were trying to undermine him every step of the way even with the willingness to play ball that he started trying to pack the court and become decidedly populist in his rhetorics.
