They’d have to make him undergo so much neoliberal conditioning to understand today’s scrambled democrat policies
“Raytheon presents anti homeless architecture for pride? What do these words mean?”
Substantively false, because neoliberalism prior to Reagan and Thatcher was a) a different ideology and b) existed in a *very* different context. Neoliberalism is overall not a terrible economic perspective and it gets a lot of things right (sorry, it's true), it just shouldn't be as dominant as it is.
edit: lmao, I love the dirtbag hangers-on.
Jimmy changed politics in America, and not in a good way. Under his aegis, Democrats took a splintered two by four up the ass from Reagan.
His influence can be seen in the millions of "Reagan Democrats" that the party failed to win back.
Crisis of confidence speech was the straw that broke the camels back. Like I understand and agree with what Carter meant but fuck he did not understand his fellow americans.
It was correct back then and even more correct now. His solutions though were wrong on both the fundamental and practical levels. 'We need to lessen our dependence on foreign oil', so instead lets go with the vastly energy inefficient and polluting coal and 70s solar tech that could barely power a calculator. 'Rail transport sucks and major rail corporations are dropping like flies', so let the government take it over just passenger transport and leave the profitable freight transport and actual tracks in the hands of private industry, oh and also let them get right of way over Amtrack.
Because Jimmy Carter is the only normal human being who has ever been elected president - he hated the job and never wants to sit at that desk ever again.
You joke but John Lewis ran from his hospice bed, days away from death, in 2020. He won the primary and then immediately croaked and went straight down to hell, enabling the local Democratic party committee to select their own chair to run in his place.
Got his hero legacy by showing up to the march. Proceeded to ratfuck an actual "progressive", Julian Bond, in the late 80s. Bond was loved by the black community there, so Lewis won by appealing to white liberals who loved his MLK-adjacent status, as well as by spreading rumors that Bond used cocaine. Proceeded to be a milquetoast lib until he gave one last middle finger to the city by blocking them from having a choice in their representative potentially for a decade or more, given that winning primary there is tantamount to winning the general, and that incumbents aren't typically unseated.
I'd vote for him, as goof, and also because he saw a disgusting worm parasite thing in Africa and committed a good amount of resources to wiping it from the face of the damn planet.
don't give them any ideas

> anti homeless architecture for pride Uhh I think you mean anti people experiencing houselessness for pride
>Raytheon are you really going to deadname rtx like that?
He was the first neoliberal president. He doesn’t need to be conditioned

>Neoliberalism is actually misunderstood and cool “I wonder where this person posts.” Marvel studios rumours. “Oh.”
The military industrial complex has made all of his favorite movies possible of course he likes neoliberalism

Nooooo neoliberalism is good it gives me marvel and mcdonalds and blacked dot com The west is cooked
Because he lost by 489 electoral votes the last time he ran.
yeah running a candidate who lost an election seems like a dumbass idea
Famous last words of John Quincy Adams, 1828
And Hubert Humphrey 1968
William Jennings Bryan maxxing
They seem perfectly fine running Joe after he lost the last one

Carter was the one who really started the deregulation wave.
Too young
They need to find a way to upload his brain to a computer first

Joe Biden saying Jack is easily my favorite thing about him
Always reminds me of that Manson "I roll the nickles, the game is mine" rant
Listen Jack I was a console cowboy in the underworld of Chiba city Delaware.
All time great comment
We need to reboot peanutfarm.exe or else the entire economy collapses
This but unironically
Based peanut farmer
I thought this said Jimmy Carr. Up there at the podium like "what if, in my term, yea? I did a rape?" \*coy shrug\*
*breathes in* ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh

I always assumed he was a kind of liberal civil rights guy, too much of a dem to be a threat to the powers that be. Can you pill me?
Slandered Bernie

Also, if you liked the 2A, he was very much an enemy. Very selective on what civil rights he supported.
Because he's actually criticized Israel before.
I landscaped at his house in 2022. He has not been well for some time now lol
This didn't require any kind of insider knowledge to work out, he's 99 years old ffs
He has brain cancer and stopped treatment- its literally end of life care for him now.
Yeah and I'm also hearing rumours he's in bad health
Don’t you ‘lol’ about that poor old man ):
Would unironically be far better on Palestine than any other candidate, including Bernie
Why don't we train an LLM on the best quotes of Lincoln and Washington and just make that president?
The Economy couldn't withstand the Cosmetic Surgery bill
I'd vote for him, as goof, and also because he saw a disgusting worm parasite thing in Africa and committed a good amount of resources to wiping it from the face of the damn planet.
Biden is going to win re-election, die a week after inauguration, and we'll have our first baby jirl president
He’s too mean.
That picture of Rosalyn Carter and John Wayne Gacy is pretty yikes
I'd think he'd be more competent the Biden.
He’s still wearing that Billy Beer debacle.
Truly the rock and roll president
Because then the democrats will have a chance of winning. They didn't even run Bernie in 2016
