The kind of Democrat I endorse works to support the New Deal.

19. I didn't like that Glass-Steagall was repealed either, however let's not romanticize the past

The New Deal systematically excluded blacks and working women in many ways. Even as wages and benefits generally went up in that era for the working class, there was still a lot of legalized discrimination against women and blacks and other persons of color. LGBT rights were essentially non-existent.

Furthermore, it really depended on region, industry, and whether you were part of a union or not. Even at their peak, unions represented only about a third of the American working class. Much more than today, of course; but still a minority. Unionized workers, of course, had higher wages and benefits than non-union ones, and they were more likely to be dominated by white male workers; in that latter respect (diversity-wise), labor unions have changed for the better. The problem is that they're a lot weaker and fewer now, particularly in the private sector, where hostility to unions is visceral from corporate management (which has an enormous amount of influence over the lives and ideologies of workers these days), and it's not helped by the fact that many workers are hostile to unions as well.
