You reminded me of another crazy "What if?" that not many people know about.
FDR's second VP, Henry Wallace, was a super progressive politician hated by conservative Dems. They forced him out of the White House just a few months before FDR died (in a foreboding of things to come, Wallace got more votes than Truman on the first ballot but conservative Democrats got all the other candidates to drop out and flip to Truman). Wallace ended up leaving the Democrats and forming his own party that called for universal health care and the nationalization of large banks, railroads, and power utilities. If FDR had just died a few months earlier, or Wallace had somehow hung onto the VP spot for one more cycle, he might have doubled down on FDR's changes and America would have looked different.
Wallace had also been a student of George Washington Carver as a child (GWC actually lived in his home for a short period) and was extremely progressive on racial issues. like calling for desegregation and full racial equality already in the 1940s. He refused to speak before segregated audiences whenever he campaigned in the South, and always traveled together with his Black staff which caused him to be pelted with eggs and rotten tomatoes at times. Was frequently accused of being a Communist and investigated by the FBI, of course.
