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.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 month 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.

All we gotta do is keep Jimmy away from the KY jelly wrestling pit with naked college girls and we're set

I assume he's still registered in GA? We really need that vote.

[-] [email protected] 94 points 1 month ago

Dude built half the state with his bare hands. He absolutely should get to vote there.

If this man doesn't make it to 100 all is wrong in the world

[-] [email protected] 72 points 1 month ago

Agreed. I’m still pretty bummed out that Betty White died 17 days shy of her 100th birthday. Hang in there Jimmy, we all need this!

[-] [email protected] 65 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure she did it as a joke on purpose. You know there was a massive party planned and she was like "good luck suckers, I'm out!"

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I don't know how much say she had in it but that's definitely her humor.

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.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

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.

Just a great person all around.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

He should run again in 2028

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month 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.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 month 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!

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Damn it - he should run for president.

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

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

That'd be metal af

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

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

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month 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!

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

I’d love to see the people that downvoted this show some bravery and explain what about it is unworthy of just ignoring and moving on.

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 😄

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

God bless this man.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Here’s hoping you get to keep that wish, sir.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

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