Bottom 6 US presidents (no particular order): Wilson Lincoln FDR LBJ Bush II Obama
-

I want some shitlibs to see this poll and have their heads explode
-
There's still time to vote in the poll above. Which president was the worst?
-
When historians look at the decline and fall of the American empire hundreds of years from now, I think Lincoln, despite his terrible
-
influence, will be too far removed from the decline. Wilson and FDRs most significant mistakes were in foreign policy and the
-
development of ideas, whereas LBJ had a more direct and obvious effect on the electorate through legislation. So LBJ will get top billing.
-
Bush II will be regarded kind of like Nero as fiddling while America declined. Obama will be regarded as more of a symbolic than substantive
-
change. Hillary, if elected, will be America's Merkel (and worse) and will probably be able to steal the top spot from LBJ.

-
*surpass them all and cement her place as worst ever, that is

LBJ was worst in an immediate sense, but I voted Lincoln because he set the stage for the others.
-
I'm not even sure who I'd pick. Good case for any of Wilson, Lincoln, FDR, and LBJ.
-
I think Wilson's biggest disasters were abroad, so he's probably the least bad of this group.
-
in an absolute sense, the later ones are generally worse, but the earlier ones set bad precedents for them to follow.
-
The Civil War by itself was an incredible disaster, of course, even if it didn't fundamentally change the ownership of US
-
FDR siding with the Soviets in WW2 and against Imperial Japan may have cause a snowball of anti-racism. Hard to say
-
Germany's WW2 loss may have broken the west's survival instincts even to this day
-
yes, I think that's true. Slavery and the Holocaust have been the Left's two biggest rhetorical weapons.
