If, before the 1932 election, FDR had told everyone in detail exactly what he would do in his upcoming four terms, the rich would have done anything to keep him out of office, and they probably would have succeeded. As it was, a worker tried to kill him shortly after he was elected. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/fdr-escapes-assassination-in-miami]

In addition, there was also a coup attempt against FDR where bankers tried to install a fascist dictator instead.

I don't think a Bernie nomination will be smooth sailing at all.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
