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.

YRDSL

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

YRDSL

19:58

but aw shucks he sure farmed him some peanuts

Dkk

20:15

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

texaslawhopefully

20:20

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

21:41

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
