Mordhaussays...Carter, I think, was really the last president we had that really intended to try to change government. He failed because of numerous outside factors, but he truly was a person who wanted change. I think Obama gave it lip service to get elected, but he really was simply a watered down version of Hilary with a lot more personality.
Sanders I think would have been Carter part deux, and would have struggled for a full term against our failed system before giving up and not running for re-election.
also, *nsfw for some cursing by the commentator.

DuoJetsays...I respect Jimmy Carter, but this is total bullshit. I'm so tired of this trope. Voters wouldn't know "the establishment" if it kicked them in the face.
The typical American voter knows little about politics, believes what he or she hears, is frightened of brown people and votes on a single issue like guns, religion or abortion.
newtboysays...Wow. I didn't realize the difference in prison populations since the 70's was so large. That is completely insane.
I think it speaks volumes that GW sells his paintings for charity and gives the money to the Carter Center. Carter is the only president in my lifetime that I have respect for or feel was honestly working in America's best interests rather than his own. Had we followed his policies instead of scrapping them with Regan, I believe our country would be in incredibly better shape, as would much of the rest of the planet.
