JUST IMAGINE what would have happened if our Democratic candidates actually CAMPAIGNED FURIOUSLY on these progressive issues instead of running away from them and from Obama/Obamacare?

Cigar, its a bitter pill you're swallowing -- defeat. But no one feels sorry for you, because you acted like such an asshat when you won.
Do you regret all your gloating now?

The only relevant point on your list is minimum wage increases, which passed in five hard red states and one blue state. The rest only passed in a single blue state.

The Bank of the United States in New York City, with 60 branches and 400,000 depositors, closes. It is merely the largest of the more than 1300 bank closings across the country as the economic depression worsens. December 11, 1930

In response to the Great Depression, hundreds of “hunger marchers” descend on the nation's capitol. They are turned away at the White House, however, unsuccessful in their attempt to present a petition to Hoover asking for jobs. December 07, 1931

The first of nearly 20,000 veterans arrive in Washington, D.C., setting up camp in open or unused buildings near the capitol. They hope to pressure Congress into granting them the full value of their bonus certificates, which were not to mature until 1944. The “Bonus Army” fails in its objective, however, as they are eventually forced out of the city by U.S. Army troops in late July. May 29, 1932
On July 28, 1932, President Herbert Hoover ordered the United States Army to remove a group of protesting veterans from federal buildings in Washington, D.C. The troops and the veterans clashed in a violent confrontation. The aggressive removal of the Bonus Army marchers damaged Hoover's popularity as he began a difficult reelection campaign.
