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!

How can one person be this good of a citizen!!?
Georgia boys are either sweetheart saints or hateful monsters, not a lot in between. Source: am Georgia boy
You fucking monster!!!
Naw I’m a sweetheart!
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.
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.
What does that say about our society? Can you imagine taking the same attitude as a scientist? Nothing would ever work because it relies on foundational truth and integrity. The reason lying in politics is acceptable is because the citizenry is allowing it through the ballot box. These idiots can't do science or politics but they have the same voting rights as everyone else.

Never underestimate spite when it comes to living long lives.

You’re my boy, BLUE!
I assume he's still registered in GA? We really need that vote.
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
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!
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!"
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.
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.
He should run again in 2028
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.
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!
Man... If he dies immediately after voting...
That'd be metal af
I've always said Jimmy would be prefarable to the current roaster of politicians, and I'm going to say it again.
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!

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 😄
God bless this man.
Here’s hoping you get to keep that wish, sir.
