to look at the system he is working in . while in FDR's case they do consider the times when things like his opposition to anti lynching bill and japanese internment comes up.

many people think we need this and that . jesse ventura always said the right things that most here would agree with but he was a shitty governor . how is someone going to get something done.

Kucninch got a lot of support on DU but he didn't really get anything done in his time in congress.
