[Jacob Fox]

Because my answer changes if I can actually pick anyone despite the birth place

I understand that

 

[Barry Poppins]

I just keep wondering if he really wanted to help the poor or if he was a liar who only wanted to help himself

He was more than likely honest about his intentions. He continually railed against FDR to do more for the poor workers of the nation, he additionally was rabidly anti-corruption. The whole reason he was assassinated in the first place is because he wanted to remove a corrupt judge.

 

[Loochblade]

You don't think there are politicians who actually care? I mean, any of them?

Maybe... but they are usually the ones very low on the ladder, I'd say. As soon as you climb up and you get more chances to get endorsements in from questionable sources... well...

 

[O-Blaze]

At that point I’m gonna simp the fuck out and pick Toni Storm I’ll let her lead me any day of the week

I don't believe in conspiracy theories but I do believe in the one where he was shot by one of his own bodyguards, not the alleged assasin

 

[Barry Poppins]

Huey wasn't going to win against FDR, who was a much more moderate (and popular) Democrat by comparison.

 

[Loochblade]

Actually changing and helping "the poor" isn't sexy enough for breaking through the very low glass ceiling on the politics career ladder

He was likely shot by accident.

 

[Spitfire]

i dont think either party really cares about helping the poor

Right, they don't get to help because they are in the minority

 

[Spitfire]

lets be real

 

[Jacob Fox]

i dont think either party really cares about helping the poor

I agree but I think the Democrats are the lesser of the two evils

 

[Jacob Fox]

Both parties are too conservative for me

 

[Loochblade]

Obviously, yea... it's like that in many countries.

 

[Loochblade]

Definitely
