Name a good US president
Carter. That's why they changed the rules so we couldn't get another one like him.
What rules are these?
The DNC changed their rules to make it harder to get on the primary if they didn't like you. It's difficult finding the timeline of DNC rules, so take that with a grain of salt.
I'm assuming those were put in to exclude one particularly popular leader with a good track record.
George Bush it says so in the post
He has W in his name for a reason
FDR, LBJ, Carter
FDR threw 200,000 Americans into concentration camps. He's one of the worst.
With the premise thqt being a good president =/= being a good person: Washington Adams Jefferson Lincoln FDR Wilson Carter Sorta LBJ as long as you don't think he was involved in JFK death And phucket Obom'ner, you have to admit he was nationally gridlocked but it was a much better time for America plus Obamacare saved and improved lives
Madison, though I'm biased. He hunted pirates.
what pirates exactly?
He finished mopping up the pirates of the Barbary coast. North African Pirates.
i guess that's fine
Obombercare
George Washington?
Slave owner
If you're going to apply modern standards, there are no good people in most of human history.
That's correct, were all trash 🤗 further, I'm pretty sure his slaves didn't appreciate being slaves even at that time....
They did not. But did having them automatically make him an irredeemably bad person by the standards of the time? Life is more complex than that.
Roosevelt
The splendid little war.
The Roosevelts
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that guy that submitted an ad to become the american president in a YouTube video?
Vermin Supreme?
far away it was just some random person
