"Jimmy Carter was not a very good president"

[delisen]

38. Carter was a Human Rights, Equality,& Peace president

He pardoned all Vietnam era drafts evaders on his second day as president.

There was economic dissatisfaction due to energy crisis indued by OPEC,
and economic costs of Vietnam.

He was disliked by many academically-oriented Democrats of the day who thought of themselves as further left than Carter-but actually weren't.

Carter was not doctrinaire. He was egalitarian.

I think what we have been seeing now on the left (as well as on the right) is a demand for an individual hegemon, a strong leader, almost a post-democracy leader.

The DNC Unity Commission meeting, as reported on in Huffington Post, did not seem unified. it made me think that there will be an open split--a party divided between economic
determinists and Human Righters.
