It's not aimed at FDR. It's aimed at the voters of Georgia who have very different... and negative views of such things. The "socialist" policies and agenda that you cheer is something that could end up costing Ossoff the election. You embrace the word "socialist" and Georgia voters largely reject it. Right or wrong, that's the way it is.
Until we step up and stop being embarrassed by good ideas, we will continue to earn crumbs and have even those taken away.
Nobody is "embarrassed by good ideas" ... and having a lack of embarrassment (if that were the case, which it isn't) wouldn't solve anything either. It's a complete waste of time to try and "reclaim" the word socialism. That battle is lost. And the old adage still holds true that "if we're explaining, then we're losing". It's time to let go and move on. Let go of the label and focus more on the individual items.
From what I can tell about Georgia voters, this will hurt Ossoff... and that's really a shame.

Speaking vaguely, it has something to do with a Senator who caucuses with the Democrats...
