He was actually a pretty good president too. Unfortunately the seeds of the cancer that is the current Republican party has been sown by the Nixon administration before he was elected and had begun to bear fruit when Reagan ran against him.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

I like to say he was the best man ever to be President and that he had great policies, but that he was not an effective President.

He was too honest to play the game.

Never underestimate spite when it comes to living long lives.

Hey, Donny. Even though I'm yearning to join my wife, I'm in constant pain, and I'm past ready to die, I'm hanging on for 3 more months just to give you the middle finger.

[-] Spezi@feddit.org 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I can feel your loss. Losing your soulmate is devastating. My best advice I can give you is to seek help and talk, either a professional or a friend. Suicide should never be a solution and I‘m sure that your wife wouldn‘t want you to leave this earth when we don‘t know whats on the other side.

Edit: Also, we need you to kick Donnys or MAGAa ass again in four years

Edit2: Nvm, I misunderstoof the comment

[-] GingeyBook@lemm.ee 29 points 11 months ago

I believe they are referencing that Jimmy Carter's wife died last year.

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 14 points 11 months ago

Please pass the message on to Jimmy, then.

Jimmy Carter would never give Trump the middle finger. He's too classy.

He's the sort of man who stands for something he believes in and leaves it at that. He was the Fred Rogers of politicians.

[-] IDKanything@lemmy.world 48 points 11 months ago

Just a great person all around.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 23 points 11 months ago

He should run again in 2028

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago

I think he's waiting for 2028... which would really be pushing it for Jimmy, since a fascist dictatorship that no longer holds elections might be in charge.

If that's the case, I wish him the best of luck in 2032.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 37 points 11 months ago

Hold on and make it to see her inaugurated and that way you'll have lived longer than Kissinger, Carter.

I know you can do it!

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Man... If he dies immediately after voting...

[-] NormalPerson@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

That'd be metal af

[-] halvar@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago

I've always said Jimmy would be prefarable to the current roaster of politicians, and I'm going to say it again.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

It fucking sucks that both Carter and Bernie are so old and so ahead of their time. Give them 40 year old bodies and they'd be the future we need.

THIS is how ex-presidents influence elections!

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago
[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 11 months ago

this would be such a good ending for carters run, hopefully he can kick around long enough to make it a reality.

Now, who do we nominate to be the next carter, we need another one....

He should throw his hand in the ring. He’ll outlive all of us 😄

[-] mdurell@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

God bless this man.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Jimmy Carter lives long enough to vote.
Dies.
The next day:
Fox News "Kamala Harris killed Jimmy Carter!"

[-] Shelbyeileen@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

This makes me happy. Hopefully it'll encourage more people to help with his charity work too.

[-] Spitzspot@lemmings.world 9 points 11 months ago

We all are.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

The man beat cancer, can't believe he can't stick around until October 14th when early voting begins.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
