I understand politics are a controversial topic, but I like to remind everyone to avoid name-calling and other uncivil behavior. Your comments will be removed.

Jimmy Carter was the best person the states have had as president in the last fifty years at least.

Then we go and vote Ronald Reagan in after.

What’s with Republicans and voting for celebrities?

They like to be spoken AT, not spoken WITH?

50 years? The presidents before him were Ford, Nixon and LBJ, so going back to Eisenhower at the least.

He was a good human being, but I don't think anyone would call him a good president.

My dad does and I've never been able to get him to give me an actual reason why. Like most of his shitty opinions

It's interesting because it was after my time but hindsight kind of showed he was right in principal but wasn't a great statesman and couldn't do the political calculations behind the scenes to rally his own party much less unit both sides.

I vaguely know about Ollie North and how the hostage situation before his second election run sabotaged his campaign but that seems to be more a nail in the coffin rather than the only reason for his failure.

There’s some legitimate reasons to not like him still tho.
