He really wasn't one of the last tho...
Not by a longshot, hell, Ike was the last good Republican and he was long after Teddy.

Things were going pretty fucking great till the original "October surprise"

Which is why I'm so fucking nervous hearing right wingers start using that phrase lately.
They might not know where it comes from, but somewhere the person coming up with their talking points does. They just don't spontaneously come up with shit, they parrot the phrases they've heard.
But anyways, on the timeline of our country things have only been getting worse since we stopped running progressives and started Bill Clinton and the neoliberals.
We had a brief respite with Obama, but when you compare Obama and Carter and remember there was 27 years between them...
Obama wasn't anywhere near as progressive as we should have been.
"Moderate" democrats is not a successful strategy, we have all this freaking data and history to support it, but we just fucking ignore and keep letting the wealthy run shit cuz it's easy.
Sure.
But man no one taxed the rich and built stuff like Teddy did.
