People wonder why Democrats don't pass another New Deal, here are the facts:
FDR was in office for 12 yrs
March 4, 1933–April 12, 1945
and enjoyed Democratic Senate supermajority for 10 of those 12 yrs.
73rd Congress Dems 62%
74th Congress Dems 75%
75th Congress Dems 77%
76th Congress Dems 70%
77th Congress Dems 66%
You give ANY Democrat that majority for 3 terms, and we'd have massive progress.

@Jene_Sais_Quoi it's very clear that the people who deny the massive popularity of mid century progressivism have their heads up their collective political asses.
