interestingly eleanor roosevelt came out with a book of her own in the fall of 1940. and this was called the moral basis of democracy. she argued the true essence of democracy is fraternity, sharing, sacrifice and the ethics of responsibility for the neighbors we know as well as those we don't know. american democracy she noted must be truly inclusive and all citizens should enjoy prosperity and equal rights and find meaning and pleasure to be active participants in a morally sound and robust society. together the citizens would refute the repulsive notion that they represented any kind of future. the stellar witness for those proponents was wendell wilkie the indiana businessman who defeated by roosevelt in the 1940 election election. when the election results came in that night, roosevelt who was just 100 yards from right here in the dining room of springwood said i'm glad i want but i'm sorry wendell lost. in fact the two were not very different. they were both valid internationalist and anti-fascists who who were totally committed to the survival of democracy. the
