requires the federal government to maintain a climate that supports human life.

Unironically this is a new frontier of ghoul behevior. The next time a person tells me some shit like Biden is "the most progressive president since FDR" I'm straight up spitting in their face.

As a leftist, anyone who says biden and fdr in the same sentence generally gets a guffaw…. But thankfully it’s usually the punchline of a joke anyways, so

Who's the most progressive president since fdr?

FDR was really the only slightly good (post-Lincoln) US president. And that was really only because he knew heads were going to start rolling if the government didn't throw some bones to the working class.

Who was the most progressive president since fdr?

Your original comment suggested you have an opinion on this

[-] Bobby_DROP_TABLES@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

I don't really have an opinion on it, I think it's a meaningless aphorism.

I think he was saying the line between FDR and the other presidents is so wide that calling anyone else progressive by comparison would essentially be changing what it means to be progressive.

LBJ if u ignore the vietnam war, Carter. Probably JFK too. shrug-outta-hecks

Fair reply thanks

I think the insane-o mode pick is Nixon with the clean water act and epa but otherwise....

[-] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Who cares? But if you were just talkig about the environment it would be Nixon.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

No one cares and nothing matters, life is pointless.

But this is a message board so we should send messages.

I actually commented about Nixon too, funny enough

If I had any courage, I should keep track of all this shit Biden and his team has done and when CHUDs whine, point to it and ask "He's giving you everything you want, what more do you want?"

God, I wish it was the opposite, both parties favor the left, but Republicans just give the normies lip service, which seems to be what appeases them anyways.
