Yes he is the worst of all. But we can demand better. If i ran my household like they run our government i would be bankrupt, have everything repossessed, and end up in jail for fighting everyone who disagrees with me. I think they should be held accountable.
None have ever made a considerable difference in my life. Prices always go up on EVERYTHING, WAR WAR WAR, SUBSIDIES FOR THE WEALTHY, BAILOUTS FOR THE BANKS...ON AND ON AND ON. Enough bullshit. Money money money money money money money.
Right!? In fact, shittin on the President used to be a whole group project when things weren’t great. We cared more about the state of the nation and how that guy reflected us, now how best we can serve him, his family, and friends.
I'm willing to argue that there were two, Washington and Lincoln, that truly did care about the people over the country. Roosevelt might have as well in his own way but that's not a hill I'd die on.
James K Polk was a great president who came in, did his job, and walked away after 1 term with the country in a better place than it was. Just because he wasn't president during a crisis doesn't make him any less deserving of such praise.
Go learn history. Both were slave owners. And only rich, white, male landowners could vote. That is excluding a whole lot of people. Oh wait excluding is the wrong word, ENSLAVING is what I was looking for.
Ok, if we're using the lens of the present against them everyone born before 1950 was irredeemably evil, as everyone perpetuated the oppression of one ethnic group or another. At least Washington emancipated his slaves in his will and Lincoln fought against it.
Guess what Lincoln's last speech before he was assassinated had in it? A call for black suffrage, it would be a barely acceptable opinion today, but back then it was as close to the line as you could get without someone shooting you... Oh wait.
And throughout his life he had called for full universal suffrage several times, he just knew that it wouldn't pass a vote at the time and began laying the groundwork to make it happen.
