It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The bottom of the list is definitely a crowded field. No way Trump comes close to worst.

Least bad president is really just between Lincoln and FDR. Unless someone wants to make an arguement for William Henry Harrison for dropping dead a month after being elected

William Henry Harrison

It's tricky because he was a monster who saw to the death and displacement of a lot of Native Americans before he was president.

Though I guess that's also true of basically every US president, at least until they started killing people overseas instead.

So yeah probably in the top three.

Yeah, there's not a lot of competition for least bad president

depends if we count the rest of their lives or not, he participated in genocide but mostly not as president.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Right exactly. You'd gave to leave out his pre-presidential career as a genocider to make that argument.
