If there’s gonna be a class war, do you want to support the guy who fights for the other class, or the guy who fights for his own?
FDR gave everyone a secure retirement, though his retirement was never in jeopardy. Kennedy landed a man on the moon, though doing so would not enrich him. LBJ signed civil rights legislation, though his rights were never in question.
It almost doesn’t matter the policies, the guy fighting for the interests of others is nearly always the right choice.
And the guy fighting for tax cuts and deregulation that would put millions in the pockets of himself and his friends is always the wrong choice.
