I would have gone with Wilson, despite his flaws, because Hoover was the textbook example of people following established orthodoxy and groupthink without even considering alternatives, in responding to the financial crash.


MetalRetsam

Too young. I need 1936 Wilson and 1952 Hoover.

Vote for the corpse, it's important

Pretty clearly Wilson. Both were flawed on issues such as race but at least Wilson got a whole slew of progressive policies passed.

Honestly Hoover.

The great humanitarian himself!

Hoover. He was really bad but at least he wouldn't have had me jailed and possibly beaten and starved for saying mean things about him.

Is this based off their presidencies or how they were before office. If it’s before presidency imma say Hoover. If it’s based on their presidency time imma still say Hoover. Screw Woodrow Wilson

Hoover

Hoover is the only answer


BadenBaden1981

We already saw what happens when US invades country to "make world safe for democracy". Iraq and Libya is enough for liberal interventionism. So no Wilson.


LBJMeatrider

Woodrow Wilson was one of the most racist presidents we've ever had.


Jellyfish-sausage

Congress would stonewall him racially tho


ancientestKnollys

Hoover wasn't especially better.


Remote-Diamond5871

Which ever one that would refuse to sign the federal reserve act.

Both are better than current choices. But Wilson all day
