Washington held slaves.
Teddy Roosevelt, maybe? Was pretty supportive of the labourer and progressed a lot of good societal change.
Lincoln would be too busy trying to talk God into a wrestling match to even notice anyone else was around.
I dunno, Teddy might've got his attention
Teddy was a big time imperialist
Teddy would definitely belong in his own Medium Place.
Nah. He was a badass, but not a good person
But he did establish the national park service, which I think lands him in the secret third place
He did that so he could enjoy his hunting trips in peace. There was also a forgettable president or two that seemed like better people than him. He's top 5, but not better than Lincoln or Carter.
Carter was almost a neolib, but he promoted the humanitarian side of liberalism better than almost every other president. He was too weak for the neoliberals and too neoliberal for the social democrats.
If anyone could climb out of hell, i would bet on Teddy.
Lincoln definitely up there somewhere
FDR was aight, but for modern presidents I think Jimmy the real deal.
