Truman was no FDR, but his gradual conversion into a full-throated New Dealer literally saved his presidency. Joe Biden should do the same, my friends

Those close to Kamala Harris describe her as a “Truman Democrat,” a nod to her willingness to use American power to promote American values and interests. it's time for Joe Biden to pick up the mantle as well

not only did Truman lack FDR's stature, he was far more centrist

in 1945 and 46, he was more interested in foreign policy, and more hostile to Stalin than FDR was. Truman replaced several New Dealers with more moderate figures, and cancelled the Land Lease program. his poll numbers...plummeted.

sound familiar?

by the eve of the 1946 midterms, Truman's popularity was just 33%. he was widely viewed as a little man out his depth. Dems suffered catastrophic losses, 54 seats in the House, and 11 in the Senate

it was at that time Truman changed. he vetoed the anti-union Taft-Hartley Act. he nominated the revered New Dealer David Lilianthal, appointed a committee on civil rights and addressed the NAACP convention in June 1947, the first president ever to do so. the black press compared FDR to Truman

Kamala got the throat for it too!

"These Republican gluttons of privilege are cold men. They are cunning men. They want a return of the Wall Street dictatorship" - Truman

That twatter post is a level of mental retardation that cant be fixed.

Truman split hardcore racists from voters who can be moved on economic issues. Biden's success will depend on if he can repeat that trick

I'm pretty sure those close to her would describe her as a raving loon.

Sleepy Joe has always been a Rabid Liberal Extremist.

Name a leftard policy, from government paid elective abortion up to the time of delivery to Legalized Gay Marriage and men being allowed to use the little girls rooms, Biden has been as full throated an advocate of those lib ideas as anyone else.

When did President Truman ever cackle like this broad? Did Truman sleep his way to the top?
