They don't even say most progressive since FDR, or LBJ, or anybody. They say most progressive eVeRrR!!!!1!. LBJ was a genocide enabling war criminal who acted as a complete scourge on all of South-East Asia, but domestically, the Civil Rights Act + The Voting Rights Act + trying to end poverty in the US as we know it is more progressive than anything that has ever crossed Joe's fucking mind, let alone what he actually promises, and don't even fucking talk about what the corporations and Republicans are gonna manage to negotiate him down to (if he gets in). It's incredibly annoying but also completely expected that, understanding that the younguns don't believe in meaningless platitudes nearly as much as they did in 2008 (because they want actual policy and positions after getting duped the last time), instead of just giving the kiddos policies and positions that people are actually excited to vote on, the party would rather gaslight its voters into thinking that Joe is the best thing that has ever been reasonably possible to elect in this country.
