Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I’ll just leave this here
Platform wise some of them are republican as we know them now even if their circles are blue. I think Clinton and Carter are what we’d consider current democrats
The "Lost popular vote" angle is only going to get worse over time. As the Senate/EC gets more and more comically lopsided in popular representation and climate change eats into the bigger Gulf Coast states, you're going to see people winning the White House with 10-15M popular vote deficits in the next few decades.
California alone constitutes more than 12% of the total population but less than 10% of the EC.
Carter was pre-Reagan. This was before the neoliberals took over the Democratic Party.
Clinton mostly accepted Republican framing of the economy, that taxes on the rich need to be low for... Reasons.
The main argument of the neoliberals is that while conservatives are "right" about a bunch of their policies and shit, they're just bad at running everything.
Carter was before that shit. Back when we said that conservative policy was heartless and evil.
Some in the Democratic Party are coming back to this simple idea.
how does Carter suck
The chart is labeled
"Presidential Circles of Suck"
Presidents that sucked. So how did Carter suck? Losing his second term means he sucks? No.
So again, how does Carter suck?
Is this bait? Like, are you trolling? Because I didn't make the chart. You clearly understand the chart. You just want to start a fight over the title of the chart? It's a silly name for a funny chart. Calm down bruv.
What a question to ask when you're the one who didn't read the clearly labeled graphic.
Are you people actually insane?
Please indicate where it explains Carter was a bad president
Ooof.
Chart is labeled. Doesn't mean anything more than he didn't get elected twice. Like, Carter is cool. I like Carter. But the chart is labeled brother. The joke being made is that many presidents have had failures, like Carter's failure to get elected again. Is it really his fault? Not really, but this chart isn't about Carter. It's not that deep bruv.
Like, your just yelling that Carter didn't suck where the only qualifying requirement to "suck" is one of the three circles. It's a joke. A gaff. A goof. Why are you swinging like someone just spit on him and called him Hitler?
Literally not yelling tho lol
Really reread this entire thread. I asked how Carter sucked and got a snarky comment.
This chart is labeled presidents that sucked, I really just asked how Carter falls into that. I truly don't understand how anything I said was taken this far.
Gotcha
Removed, civility.
It's saying he was voted out of office.
