The history of the American (and many other countries') left is much more easily understood if you view FDR not as your representative, but as the peace negotiator for your enemy. The giveaway is right in the name, "New Deal". You don't make a deal with yourself.

This mischaracterization leads to a huge strategic misstep, where leftists think they can simply vote themselves another deal. A deal with who? And with what leverage?
