    FDR was also supported by many labor unions and by some standards the most pro union president. Taft-Hartley act under Truman (despite his veto) was probably the worst thing for labor since the Populist movement was dealt with.

      Of course. Biden also has that support. What I'm saying is that regardless of who the most pro union president is, they've done anti union things as well.

        Yeah ultimately they all serve the system that exploits people, and are more representative of the time period they served in than individual personalities who altered the course of history. They didn't make history, history made them.
