Who Was the Most Left Wing President In American History?

No-brainer.

LBJ.

The worst one you've had, to date, IMO.

Worse than Hussein Obola AND BJ Klintoon, combined.



LBJ makes Richard Milhous Nixon, Jerry Ford and Woodrow Wilson look good.

Your best POTUS was probably Grover Cleveland, because he basically did fuck-all.

In a way he was. But he never came out and said openly, "I'm a leftist, a liberal/progressive, and proud of it."

When he attacked conservatives/rightism, he slyly talked about people who "cling to guns or religion." But, as is true of Trump too, Obama generally avoided saying "liberal/leftwing" and "conservative/rightwing" in public.

Hillary at least said "vast rightwing conspiracy" back in the 1990s when she and her sleazy husband were in the White House.

More recently, Harvey Weinstein claimed a "rightwing conspiracy" was the source of his problems---as though all the accusations aimed at him are from women who happen to be political conservatives. In Hollywood?

A lot of the heat and fury being lobbed at Trump since 2016 - who would have been seen as a normative, mildly conservative president in the past - can be laid at the doorstep of this nation having the most leftwing president in the White House from 2009 to 2016.


.

but the shift in culture has been extreme since 2008, and is probably irreparable without violence.

Franklin Roosevelt BY FAR.

Roosevelt wanted to Nationalize the BIG companies in the US but couldn't get his Democratic Congress to go along. (most people forget about that now since it didn't happen - but it DID happen in Great Britain)

Roosevelt tried to PACK the Supreme Court by expanding it by one Judge for every Judge over 70, which would have given him an immediate 5 appointments to the Court - but again even his Democratic Congress would not go along.

Roosevelt got the national government involved in strengthening the Unions via his Labor Legislation and instituting the National Labor Relations Board - ie: the shove it up your ass Labor gets what it wants Board.

Roosevelt instituted Social Security - before the Federal Government had NOT done anything wrt Welfare for the public.

Roosevelt started the National Welfare Programs (though their great expansion came under Johnson)

Roosevelt took the personal Income Tax Rate for high earners from about 17% to 90%!!

The list goes on and on. Obama isn't even a weak candle compared to Roosevelt!! Johnson's actions just finished up what Roosevelt said he WANTED, but couldn't get through Congress back in the 1930's. Basically Roosevelt wanted to NATIONALIZE about 80% of the US economy, including virtually ALL manufacturing and ALL medical care ... and he got a LOT of it accomplished.

Left wing
Obummer, hands down.

Major leftist advancers?
Each of the above candidates made monumental steps left,
But none more than Obummer.

He used the foundational leftist blocks from the others
on which to frame up a Major Leftist mansion,
as directed by his puppet masters.

I would have added Lincoln being the extreme Federalist he was but it's your poll. FDR got my vote, Wilson #2.

Not sure why everyone is saying Obama.

He definitely wasn't the most left, he was just a scumbag and probably illegitimate.

Obama was the most unapoligetic radical ever to occupy The White House.

Hands down.

And he didn't give a shit what anyone thought or said about it.

Good point.

Communism is illegal in America, Socialism is not.

However the greatest damage was caused by the Kennedy brothers and Lyndon B. Johnson, due to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

Obama hands down.

I'm not at all sure Federalism at all equates to what the Left Wing represents today.

At least, I never got that feel from the Federalist Papers. Maybe I should read them again.

Fdr, then Wilson, but Oshitheads place, yet to be determined by evidence and conviction remains to be seen. He could easily surplant them both.

It is interesting to note something's. Communism is illegal in America, Socialism is not.

If a parties platform resembles the illegal, but is labeled something legal, wtf?

What differentiates Socialism and Communism?(rhetorical question)

All of which, in my view is anathama to Capitalism, and what America still stands for.

Advancing the agenda of the former and adding to it.

Obozo. Simply because America and the rest of the world keep getting more and more left wing. At least the other Dems had some redeeming qualities and some on the list were darn good presidents. No redeeming qualities for Obama.

Barry was neither the most liberal, or most evil.

Wilson was by a long margin the most evil. He sold America to the Rothschilds (the Fed).

FDR was (also by a wide margin) the most socialistic president ever. He made government responsible for pretty much everything. He drug out the depression as an excuse for more and more government programs. He is responsible for more government give-a-ways than anyone else. While he was giving away our tax dollars, and running up the debt, he also took a lot of property for the federal government. Over all, he was about as as close to a true communist as anyone that ever sat their ass is the big white house.
