RE: The Man Who Didn't Want To Become President

I've always been feeling the bern, unfortunately I'm not sure if the American people can deduce what is best for them as a fractured mess of people sharing a tactfully diluted culture of confusion.

My very radical opinion is that it's impossible to govern 50 very different states, each of which are made up of their own unique dichotomy of urban versus rural, affluent versus poor etc ad nauseam.. A complete and drastic overhaul is required and such a prodigious implementation is wildly beyond the scope of any living mortal being.

I will also contend that the core reason that the USA suffers from the majority of its political ills is a well orchestrated program of conditioning that has created a woefully uninformed constituency.. Proof alone is the Americans own inability to agree that FDR and JFK were without question the greatest presidents any living person has seen come into power. The democratic socialism that saved the United States from a complete collapse is now seen as bastardization of the very freedom and fluidity the republic is intended to uphold.

Let me also say I am impressed but not the least bit surprised to be having this discourse with a non American as it is rare indeed that I find a US citizen open minded and competent enough to have such a conversation.. As an under 40 middle class, southern raised Caucasian male I am in the minority that is perhaps even aware FDR was elected to 3 terms and that his relationship with Churchill likely saved the world from the axis powers.

Now an even more interesting discussion is how complicit were these two men in allowing such atrocities to nearly cripple the world? The late involvement of the USA to provide more than arms until the questionable attack on Pearl Harbor along with the United Kingdoms near decade of not taking the 3rd Reich seriously leaves plenty of room for that dirty C word to eek it's way into brave conversations..

Thanks so much @skramatters, for this great addendum :-) U.S. political history is of interest for all inhabitants of this planet, for all the wrong reasons unfortunately... Let's hope more and more people will "feel the Bern" :-)
