The generation that came of age in the depression voted for FDR 4 times and gave him supermanorites in Congress.

They rewrote the American social contract.

They were left of the generation before and the generation after.

I am hoping Mamdani is our FDR.

Sadly, he cannot run for president. He was naturalized, not born a citizen.

And yet, we got Elon running DOGE and unilaterally breaking into the treasury without oversight. Trump wasn't supposed to be able to hold office after his January 6th insurrection. The rules don't mean much, if they aren't enforced.

Hmm seems to be a repeating pattern.

That's the best case we can hope for at this point.
