Henry A Wallace was FDR's VP for his third term and he was like FDR but more explicitly anti racist. The party hated him. They forced him off the ticket for FDR's fourth term. FDR was too sick to defend his pick at the convention and died very early in his fourth term. They left us with this piece of shit that nuked Japan for no reason, started the cold war, and gave us the CIA. I'll give him credit for vetoing Taft-Hartley which was unfortunately overridden anyway. Truman is when the New Deal really turned to shit and the defense industry got entrenched. If Wallace had been VP, no Korean War, maybe no cold war, probably no Vietnam War, maybe the USA doesn't waste so much on defense, maybe the USSR doesn't waste so much on defense either. On the other hand, an anti racist democratic party may have lost the south and become unelectable by the late 50s and we'd be 20 years further into neoliberal hell.
