Yeah. Truth is they probably would have focused on making working class problems worse, just like Billy boy.
What the heck, Biden was FDR 2.0!
Not even close. The most I will give him is that he was closer to FDR than any of the Democrats in-between. Ideologically, FDR 1.0 had ambitions for what an FDR 2.0 could do, and Biden wasn't it. Biden barely moved the needle to reclaim any of the things Democrats lost us in the intervening years. Operationally, Biden had none of FDR's zeal to actually get things done. Biden needed to be far more Machiavellian and, because he wasn't, his agenda was stalled and the architects of January 6 were emboldened to try again.
These two videos do a better and more entertaining job than I can to lay out why Democratic reform is absolutely necessary to get us out of the mess we are in. If Democratic voters don't learn extremely quickly, this America has no chance at all.

Gotta use those sarcasm tags. Too many people still buy that garbage. :/
