Dear Dems: copy FDR. Please. (except for internment camps)

FDR embraced economic populism in a time when American workers were hurting and angry. By communicating how he was using the power of government to help make things better for American workers, he won popular support. He also turned his popular support to fighting fascism. And won four Presidential terms. He was so popular only death could stop him.

Fighting Fascism + Economic Populism = Electoral victory.
