    How can you say it was one and not the other? I’d say it was more likely a bit of both.

      I am just guessing that had it been due to exclusively the ideology of a democratic socialist, that there would have been more people to choose from.

      • FDR was popular because the policies worked. If he’d crashed the economy again instead of beginning the recovery it doesn’t matter how much people liked him, he’d have lost reelection.

          But was it him who came up with the policies or his political oeientation? were the policies socialistic democratic policies? If so, why didn’t they reelect an other democratic socialist if the policies based on that ideology worked, instead of voting for the same person again and again?
