Perot got 19% of the vote which pretty much everyone said would have mostly gone to Bush. Clinton more or less backed into the presidency. And probably would've lost in '96 if he hadn't listened to Republican campaign advisor Dick Morris.
RIP President Jimmy Carter

clinton acted probably not much different than a republican decades before
He acted very different than a liberal, going center-right on all his positions. Didn't help that Bob Dole was the Republican nominee.
it started with carter.
What did?
the end of the new deal economic system
Clinton's problems started when he put Hillary in charge of creating a new healthcare system. Caused Congress to be completely controlled by Republicans for the first time in 40 years.
im an expert on the bad things clinton did and him doing policies as a right winger
-NAFTA
-deregulated the banking system leading to 08 financial crisis
-deformed welfare primarily affecting single mothers
-deregulated media system leading to 5 corporations controlling 90% of all news
-expanded prison population
theres one more thing.
rage against the machine did a concert in front of the DNC in 2000 and by that time they were shouting the democrats sold out the working class. and they did.
And yet Democrats point to him today as an example of their superior policies.

If he would’ve been president another four years, we would’ve all needed Habitat for Humanity
that would be part of the propaganda matrix to get us to love politicians who were terrible for us
Ralph Nader Statement on Jimmy Carter’s Legacy - Ralph Nader
December 30, 2024 Jimmy Carter was the last president to actively open the government for engagement by citizen groups. Right after his November 1976 election, he agreed to address a huge hotel ballroom in D.C. full of local and national citizen advocates. It was a great success never again...

Carter was in over his head. Some governors should not be presidents.

I do find it, humorous the media and the left are now acting like he was some sort of, benevolent loving leader. He was a complete maroon as president. I remember sitting in my grandpa’s truck waiting in gas lines. His “Good intentions” were disastrous

At that time Georgia was a backwater state and Carter had no clue about how DC worked.
and yet the guys who followed were all worse. and people worship reagan he was just a corporate mascot.

Worse? Probably not. I do agree some of them weren’t much better.
i doubt any bush, obama, clinton, or reagan was better

I think the nice guy, honest southern boy projection after the mess with Nixon and the no personality Ford pardon, people thought he could give government what it hadn't had for a while.

Ford is a very much underrated President. He did lack charisma and got caught up in the Nixon backlash but was probably what the country needed at the time.
