If any modern Democrat started even mentioning implementing something like Nixon's price controls they'd get primaried and hit with the heart attack gun faster than you can say "we see you and we hear you"

I think I heard it said that Nixon was the last true believer in the system.
Nixon was our last Liberal president, as opposed to Neoliberal
Nixon considered building a thousand nuclear reactors and introducing a universal income, so economically...
From what I’ve read, aside from being a racist, a misogynist, and probably a meth cook for the Hell’s Angels, he was quite liberal (in the normie sense of “liberal”).
probably a meth cook for the Hell’s Angels,
damn he really let us down. his presidency should've been way cooler
shit are you serious? Nixon was cooking meth?
Yes.
There were also a few vaguely progressive pro union republican back then. Yes, most people have no concept of how much further right the entire spectrum is now, economically at least.
AOC is not right of Richard Nixon.
And your ignorance didn't tell you that Bernie has been an Independent since 1978.
If the OP had stated that Bernie was an independent, you'd still find a way to show your whole debatebro ass and come in here with some shit like "ahh but Bernie caucuses with the Dems so gotcha"
Post constructively or catch the
god you fucking suck
