Where did the idea come from that support for a second New Deal means support for Jim Crow?

141. Not moderate...liberal social democrat

I am a big fan of FDR and pretty much everything he did.

The only point I keep trying to make is that while I may love the man and his legacy it is more complicated to a large part of our party. Pointing to his legecy as a rallying point may not rally the party as much as you hope.

And the reason I do not call myself a progressive is due to the checked past of the progressive movement in this nation. Social improvement has often not been on their radar and some have reactionary toward social change

Now I certainly do not believe most of today's progressives, especially those on DU, fall into that category. But the last 2 years have convinced me that there are still economic progressives willing to abandon social change if it helps with their economic agenda.

And as far as me being a moderate, if wanting to emulate the social and economic system seen in Germany makes me a moderate, so be it. They do not call themselves progressives either.

Have a nice day.
