I know LBJ gets a lot of shit for his figurative (and literal) dick-swinging, but he got shit done. the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Head Start, Medicare & Medicaid, the Child Nutrition Act, expansions to food stamps & Social Security, billions in education funding... we need another LBJ.
