So are we on our way there? [View all]

It seems that after FDR, moderate Truman took over and the hope of expanding the new deal and establishing the second bill of rights was dead in the water. There was a leftward turn in the 60s 70s but it quickly dwindled following reagan and the rise of the DLC. With all that has happened as of late, and with more progressives and democratic socialists rising up in the party, could we see the work that was left off when FDR passed away, come back to fruition? Could we see the resurgence of these strong progressive and democratic socialist ideals our country so desperately needs?
