Buffalox , in Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday to be celebrated with musical gala at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre

congratulations to Jimmy Carter, It always warms my heart to see him, he is such a good and decent human being, IMO the best president USA ever had.

Certainly the best in terms of beliefs, ethics, etc. Unfortunately not as effective as he should have been. Played way too nice with Tip O’Neill and Reagan both because he’s a nice guy, but they played dirty.

Buffalox ,

He wasn’t too nice, the people just didn’t appreciate it.
Same mentality that causes Trump, an obvious malignant narcissist to have about 50% support among voters, despite most of his supporters will be harmed by his presidency.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Too nice in those specific cases, not overall.

He did not get down in the dirt with O’Neill or Reagan and that was to his detriment unfortunately.

Diplomjodler3 ,

And then the traitors conspired with your country’s enemies to oust him.

Buffalox ,

Not my country, but I remember him vividly regardless, being around 14 when he became president, when he appeared on TV, I could tell he was genuinely a nice and honest person, trying to do good, more than most other people/politicians appearing on the news.

GiddyGap , in Fox News host Jesse Watters thinks men who vote for women ‘transition’ to women

So…that would mean that women who vote for men “transition” to men? Right?

Eatspancakes84 ,

In that case most of us (incl future president Kamala) are intergenders.

threeganzi ,

It’s also very likely that Kamala Harris has voted for men in the past, meaning she would have transitioned to man by now negating the risk of male voters turning into women.

JovialMicrobial , in The TERF propaganda machine has already superspreaded the boxer's Imane Khelif's Olympics row is about trans identification. In fact she appears to be born woman with DSDs

The armchair endocrinologists are at it again.

Hormones are complex and vary across individuals for innumerable reasons. They are complex systems involved in complex biology that takes years of study to properly understand.

In short, this terf bs needs to stop. It’s done nothing but make the world even more hostile to both cis and trans women who are just trying to pursue their careers, sport, and happiness.

Wiz , in Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday to be celebrated with musical gala at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre

Maybe not the greatest president or politician.

However, he is the greatest ex-president by a landslide. There’s nobody else even close.

He’s truly a good man.

SteveFromMySpace ,

They’re always referred to as “President” even after their term(s) have concluded. Though I also suspect I’m misinterpreting your comment

Stovetop ,

I don’t think that is the case, Trump is usually referred to as “Former President Trump” in the news since the end of his term.

SteveFromMySpace ,

I was under the impression that was because it’s not required but you’re probably right

WeirdGoesPro ,
@WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That is because Trump is Trump, and the norms changed around him. Before he entered the scene, former presidents were always referred to as “President” unless the current president was there too and a distinction needed to be made.

Most people who would feel called to show respect towards a former president don’t feel that way towards Trump.

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

He’s the only one where we have to remind them they’re not in charge anymore. Most are relieved lol

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

I like to remember it as he was supposed to be jailed and sentenced to life in prison for his crimes against the state, so media just uses it to slight him using it to defame his Presidency by calling him former President. Notice no one says former president Obama, Bush, Clinton, Carter etc.

teamevil ,

I think it’s because if the moron hears people call him president he’ll assume he’s still president.

Windex007 ,

I suspect the commenter is emphasising that what makes Carter great are his activities after leaving office. Out of every president, his post-presidential activities are the greatest.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Ahhhh that makes sense thanks!

Wiz ,

That’s what I meant, thanks!

FlyingSquid , in DNC kicks off virtual roll call vote to formally nominate Kamala Harris for president
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

In before people complain about how they didn’t get to vote for Harris.

Hydra_Fk ,

The illusion of choice. We get to choose nothing that matters. But you do get to choose from over 25 brands of fast foods to make you fat and sick. So many choices of insurance companies and doctors to mask symptoms. – George Carlin basically.

joeynotjoe ,
@joeynotjoe@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll always complain about my lack of a choice. I was pissed when they essentially anointed Biden during the primary cycle. I, like so many others, were rightly concerned about his age being a negative. But no…

I hope Kamala wins, I’m voting for her barring some cataclysmic fuck up, but we deserve to select our candidates.

Samvega ,

Democracy must be a managed system, otherwise it may not always work in favour of the rich.

ramble81 ,

Has there ever been a time where the incumbent wasn’t “anointed”?

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, although in the modern era the incumbent has always won out against the challenger.

verdantbanana ,
@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

say that when your vote gets taken

some of us are not legally allowed to vote here in the US

way more than a complaint it is a loss of rights and an inability to be able voice any want of change

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, many people aren’t legally allowed to vote. What’s your point? I don’t think we should be giving votes to non-citizens and infants.

WanderingVentra ,

Maybe they’re a felon, and I do think they deserve a vote.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe so. They’ve certainly had an opportunity to clarify. And still do.

TheAlbatross ,

I do think that’s an issue, tbf, I don’t like the DNC playing king maker like this, but I recognize the unique situation they’re in with this election.

That said, Biden belonging in a home not on a ballot isn’t really a new issue, just one they put off until the very last minute, so I’m a bit bitter.

I dunno. Overall it feels like the importance of the voter is becoming less and less and its shifting towards the power of the party, but maybe that’s the death of the innocence of youth and not a real change in how US elections work.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s always been about the power of the party. Can you name a presidential candidate the DNC didn’t want once they got the nomination? I sure can’t. Not in my 47 years.

TheAlbatross ,

The first election I got to participate in was the election of Barrack Obama. I’ve occasionally wondered if that affected my perception of politics and the following years have been lessons in what a more normal campaign looks like.

I don’t wanna be misunderstood, I’m voting for Harris, Trump is an existential threat to the country.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

For all of his flaws, McCain at least wanted the appearances of a fair election without going into the mud. He didn’t tolerate people going for the racist angle. When some stupid lady in the crowd called Obama an Arab, he corrected her (in a sort of racially insensitive way, but…)

Same with Romney. Both of them wanted everyone to think that they were honest people whether they were or not. They cared about their reputations and their legacy.

Trump and his acolytes couldn’t give less of a shit. It’s all about short-term gains.

njm1314 ,

Yeah people need to stop giving McCain so much credit for that one video clip. He still picked a racist lady as his running mate. He’s still sat on his butt as a senator in a state with Joe Arpaio for 20 years doing nothing.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t disagree, hence me saying appearances rather than him actually being a stand-up guy. He was a piece of shit. But he was a piece of shit that actually didn’t want the public to realize how awful he was. Trump couldn’t care less and neither could the MAGA crowd.

alvvayson ,

As a European, I am appalled that I didn’t get to vote for Harris.

Gotta share the love man.

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Remember kids, vote early and vote often

nokturne213 ,

I technically voted for her, I put anybody but Joe.

rustydomino ,
@rustydomino@lemmy.world avatar

There is some truth to this. I voted for Biden in good faith in the primaries. While I support Harris I did not vote for her. That is somewhat worrisome to me. That said, I am all in for Kamela. Fuck trump.
