FDR was really the only slightly good (post-Lincoln) US president. And that was really only because he knew heads were going to start rolling if the government didn't throw some bones to the working class.
Who was the most progressive president since fdr?
Your original comment suggested you have an opinion on this
I don't really have an opinion on it, I think it's a meaningless aphorism.
Uh huh
Sick burn
Nuh uh
I think he was saying the line between FDR and the other presidents is so wide that calling anyone else progressive by comparison would essentially be changing what it means to be progressive.
