What is Sup Forumss opinion on William Jennings Bryan? Was he for shadowing of the rise of socialism, or was he just looking out for the abused farmers of America? What would America look like today if he had beaten McKinley in 1896?
Wikipedia article for anyone who doesn't know much about him.

Hmm, excellent question. I'm gonna read up some more on him; I don't know as much as I should.
>>/his/
Fuck you, this is relevant today when people compare Trump to a populist.
>there are people this uneducated on Sup Forums that can't answer simple questions about William FUCKING JENNINGS BRYAN
>American flag
You're an embarrassment to this nation. Get out
He was pro prohibition.
This nigga flip flopped so goddamn much. From being anti-war to pro-war form being a socialist to a populist he was basically Hillary 100 years ago trying to do whatever it took to be POTUS, getting SecState as a consolation and not even finishing a term of it.
America would be a lot better place if WJB won in any of the years he was nominee. Sad that the powers that be in the Gilded Age stomped him out even though he was our best chance. Once Bryan was gone, it left the country wide open for the taking by traitors like Woodrow Wilson.
Same thing goes with Huey Long, who was shot and killed before he had a chance to make this country prosper.
So what? Alcohol fuels degeneracy. Maybe he was on to something.
He opposed ww1 though, which was pretty based. Plus he (claims) he was only pro Spanish war to spread democracy.
>he was basically Hillary 100 years ago
Are you fucking kidding me? Bryan was the second legitimate populist candidate the US produced after Jackson. He wanted to represent the true interest of the people and (((they))) ensured he never got into the Oval.
Reminder to this board:
1. Jackson
2. Bryan
3. Teddy
4. Trump
These are the only real populists we've had. JFK wanted to go populist but (((they))) killed him before he could.
We wouldn't have become an empire
I agree with that list except for teddy, he was a progressive. Fuck those guys.
lmao, never thought of it that way. Thanks user.
This nigga was where it's at though.
Oh no, so we wouldn't have taken over so much land, have our military stretched so far, that we're now starting to feel the effects and will soon collapse into ourselves?
Oh no, what we have ever done!?
He also believed in manifest destiny and the superiority of White people and White culture
This was back when the Democrats were the good party
How is going from socialist to populist flip flopping?
Back then progressive meant shit like implementing food standards and closing literal sweat shops.
Wasn't his plan to make it so no one could earn more than a million dollars? Fuck that shit, that's just wrong.
I guess, but Wilson still makes me hate progressives, even if teddy was a "good" progressive.
Yeah, Wilson was obsessed with giving our sovereignty away to the League of Nations and becoming fully interventionist. Fuck him.
Farmers were divided among civil war lines and couldn't properly unite as a political force
workers were divided among religious lines and couldn't properly unite as a political voice
Socialism is a foreign ideology and would never gain power here
WJB was an opportunist that killed the Populist Party by pulling them into the Democrats and thus killed the voice for the common man in politics
also, free silver was just as jewish as gold. The real answer was and always will be Greenbacks
it's kind of ironic especially since Wilson had the closest ties to the Klan and the southern White establishment of any President we had post-Civil War
Good goy, greenbacks will let us solve all your problems by giving us control over the money flow.
It's especially ironic since he's the starter of the whole Democratic Party's globalization fetish, yet they all hate him because muh racism.
t. numismatic illiterate
(((Stability)))
>he wants the debt crashes caused by jewish bankers
wew lad
What is "2007 housing crisis"?
A lot were, enough for a constitutional amendment. But I guess banging drunk sluts is to appealing to contemplate an alternative.
