To put perspective on this race for president, IMO, we are in exactly the same place we were at in 1932 and we need an FDR. Here is an excerpt of his 1936 campaign speech posted below. Worth a listen.

We are in exactly the same place FDR was in 1932. And the plutocrats and autocrats are as great a force controlling this country as they were in 1932 and specifically against Warren and Sanders as they were against FDR; and our situation is the same with as much income inequality as there was in 1932 and our fight against the Republican fascists just as needed.

We are known by our enemies. And I wish Warren would give FDR's 1936 speech below as it would fit perfectly for her today.

FDR said: "We have learned that business and financial monopolies have begun to consider the US as a mere appendage of their own affairs, and we now know that government by organized money is as dangerous as government by organized mobs."

"Never before have these forces been so united against one candidate as they are today, and they are unanimous in their hated of me, and I welcome their hatred. And I should like it to be said for my first term, these forces of selfishness have met their match, and I would like it to be said of my second term, these forces have met their master."

We are in exactly the same situation and we need a person with the vision and toughness of FDR.
