honestly for as many good things as carter did after his presidency, i don't think there's much reason to say good things about his presidency.

dude was sponsoring the El Salvadorian death squad regime that killed St. Oscar Romero

but aw shucks he sure farmed him some peanuts

Idk, the country kinda operates the same way today and it seems to be for the better.

texaslawhopefully

He wasn’t a great president obviously, but I think what he did post-presidency probably is at the top of all presidents

llama

20:48

idk and maybe yall are onto something; maybe the news just wants something good to talk about: he was a decent guy/ try to do good like him hoo raa hoo raa (nothing wrong with this)

swagadocious

21:11

I think the thing a lot of people miss with the Carter administration is that there's a difference between being a "bad" President like a James Buchanan and being an ineffective one

swagadocious

21:12

He wasn't suited to the job, but there have been Presidents who weren't suited to the job and did just fine because they were President during easy times -- Carter wasn't so lucky, and to the extent that he failed, he failed, but people forget that he was also a very shrewd politician and could even be a bit of a bully at times, usually to his own detriment

swagadocious

21:14

I have a mixed opinion of both his administration and post-Presidency, but the things that really stand out to me about Carter actually come from before he entered national politics; namely, the Chalk River nuclear reactor incident, while he was in the Navy, and his strategy in winning the gubernatorial nomination and general election in 1970

swagadocious

21:15

He played both sides of the civil rights issue and then immediately turned around and became perhaps the most racially progressive Southern Governor of the 20th century

llama

21:15

@swagadocious: yeah agreed on the nuke save, good point- that could have been devastating

swagadocious

21:17

Maybe there's a case Terry Sanford was a bit more liberal, but Carter's position was more politically gutsy, being in the Deep South

llama

21:17

@swagadocious: wait im thinking of someone else....

llama

21:18

Stanislav Petrov is who i got mixed up with: https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2017-10/news-briefs/man-who-saved-world-dies-77

getmoney

21:42

im looking for a good amount of scholarship tbh, but any advice on if or where else i should apply to, or too late u think now?

Eggan

21:42

idk i think it might be late

llama

22:20

@getmoney: I think Eggan hit the nail on the head: u are positioned nicely, if you do not get the outcome that works for you, you can always retake/ reapply. Else, u could just cover the T50-T200 with apps. But u should be good how u are
