If you want to talk of a parallel, you might consider the CIO organizing drives of the 1930s in which they embraced the weak vacillating FDR as an ally and used the space he created to build the labor movement. If today's "left" had run the CIO, they would have blown off all that messy organizing crap to spend time demanding FDR fire Harold Ickes or something equally idiotic.
