FDR made America a much better place to live over a period covering more than a decade. The only obvious blemishes are Japanese internment and court-packing efforts, but those pale in comparison to the sheer impact of all the good things he did.
FDR saved Western-style capitalism, by forcing the creation of a social safety net and a degree of worker inclusion in its benefits, and by putting limits on capitalism's ability for uncontrolled profit-seeking that harms everyone.
