    Disagree on only one point: the time for a cheerleader has passed.

    The people now want a Teddy Roosevelt progressive. A person who physically kicks asses and legally enforces regulations on the Corporates who are undermining the country’s well-being to pad their pockets. A leader who is tough, speaks plainly, and has grit and vision for the conservation of natural resources.

    None of these qualities describe any current members of the Democratic party.

      There’s a lesson in Teddy though. The industry republicans did their damnedest to sideline him and would’ve succeeded if McKinley hadn’t been shot. They put him in the vice presidency in the first place to get him out of the New York governors house.

        Yep. Lots of lessons in our historical precedents that Dems pretend don’t exist.

        Nevertheless, I would 100% vote for Teddy Roosevelt’s corpse
