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?
Why do you capitalize words like that?
For emphasis, it’s a common practice in online text communication.
My university English professor would literally shit herself to see that.
Oh lord. Better not show her then.
She has IBS so she shit herself a couple times throughout the year.
Does she have IBS otherwise that would be a stupid reason to shit yourself.
No she doesn’t.
She just had a healthy respect for the English language.

I’d think at university you’d learn the difference between formal and informal communication, but I’ve learned a lot about the quality of the education system after teaching a few years.
Capitalizing words like that makes it look like you write YouTube video titles.
It isn’t informal communication it’s a travesty.
and what the hell’s with that capital T in the middle of youTube?
It’s also been used for hundreds of years, it’s not a post-internet concept.
It might be a youtube title, or it might be quoted Greek or Latin text. Or various other uses in between.

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.
What was wrong with what he did?
I don’t recall the details, but the economy wasn’t doing great and I don’t think anything he did helped. Inflation was really bad.
I’m sure he did good things, but I think that’s what he’s remembered for - that and the whole Iran hostage crisis thing.
I never heard about him taking hostages.
People hate Jimmy Carter?
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
Fucktards, yeah.
He was beat by one of the most popular presidents of all time. Hindsight being what it is, he was beat by one of the most destructive presidents of all time.
Sure are a lot of Reagan defenders around here.

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.
How do you think Jimmy carter failed to address these issues policy wise?
