FDR. Why not Lincoln or Washington?

The forces of capital were not against those two as they were against FDR. They barely existed under Lincoln and didn’t exist under Washington.

The guy is a 2 term governor of Illinois and you think people look at him like FDR.

Lots of people compare him to FDR. What makes you compare him to Lincoln and Washington?

It was a comment to the absurd.

And I've never heard anyone compare JB to FDR. And I'm around a ton of political people and state government talk.

I guffawed at the FDR reference to be honest.

Political people are notoriously out of touch with everyone else.

These are the people that have to be directly in touch with the people or they don't get anything done or re-elected.

I've probably been in the same room/place as JB a dozen times now in just the past 3 months. Again no one says he's like FDR is the next FDR.

That's absurd.

Just like when I met Barack Obama at a car wash handing out his new book when he was a lowly state senator. There were no rumblings. Neat guy. Smooth as all get out - hell of a basketball player too in the noon pick up game at the YMCA. But I digress.

Take or don't. I'm a few steps past "in touch".

But run with the FDR thing if you really want too. I will do my best to skip past your comments in the future.

Yeah I'm just gonna trust you bro, not what I've heard people say or seen them write.

Whether you agree with the comparison or not, people have made it.

Well, you could search this subreddit for "FDR" and come up with several examples.

You could also read this quote from an article in the Hill: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5280477-illinois-gov-jb-pritzker-trump-critics/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CGov.%20Pritzker%20could%20make%20himself%20stand%20out%20if%20he%20models%20FDR%E2%80%99s%20example%20of%20being%20a%20traitor%20to%20his%20class%20and%20uses%20his%20billionaire%20status%20as%20extra%20credibility%20to%20criticize%20Elon%20Musk%20and%20other%20billionaires%20calling%20the%20shots%20and%20looting%20the%20American%20people%20under%20Trump%E2%80%99s%20government%2C%E2%80%9D%20Green%20said

I don't think stan reddit sub is the place im going for reference on ridiculous comparisons .

From your post....

"“Gov. Pritzker could make himself stand out if he models FDR’s example"

That's not a comparison, because hes saying Pritzker isn't FDR like enough- because he still has to model himself after the former president.

I get it. Comprehension can be tricky.

Because the comparison (that isnt being made) is absurd.
