FDR opposed the corrupt Democratic machine of Tammany Hall AND the Republicans who sought to undermine his progressive vision. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is for lightweights and amateurs. Genuine reformers work within the system, opposing ALL corruption.
That's not true. A few months after Wallace wrote that in the New York Times, the Democratic Party replaced him as FDR's running mate at the Dem National Conv because he was too friendly to labor and to hostile to business. So when FDR died in early 1945, we got Truman instead.

*too Wallace was a progressive. Truman was an early neoliberal.

True. Have you read "One Nation Under God" by
@KevinMKruse? He describes the efforts of Corporate America to influence everyday Americans to reject New Deal principles, including religious leaders and public relations campaigns. 1/x -
The way the right wing & their various special interests have demonized New Deal programs & ideas as nation-ruining socialism is truly one of the more despicable campaigns in American history. It's OK to differ in opinion but they wage an intellectually dishonest war.

Influencing Democrats to make seemingly minor changes that have massive effects down the road is one way that Corporate America played the long game, outstrategizing Democrats. Not until PBOs 2nd term did Democrats recognize how fully they'd been neutralized. 2/x

If you look at the history of labor laws and support for the working class, that has always been driven by Democrats. Blaming the entire Democratic party only augments the Limbaugh talking points and alienates potential allies. Let's talk policies & specifics, not bash parties

Again, I think you have your history wrong. Democrats were the right wing when the Whigs became too similar to the Democrats and were replaced by a new, progressive party called the Republican Party in the 1860s. 1/
