    Unironically this is a new frontier of ghoul behevior. The next time a person tells me some shit like Biden is “the most progressive president since FDR” I’m straight up spitting in their face.

        FDR was really the only slightly good (post-Lincoln) US president. And that was really only because he knew heads were going to start rolling if the government didn’t throw some bones to the working class.

            I don’t really have an opinion on it, I think it’s a meaningless aphorism.
