WHO Are 🫵 Voting For? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Rules: 1. Can’t be a President from 1970 and up. Has to be Prior to Jimmy Carter and everyone counts. 2. List at least three reasons (it can be as many & as detailed) you would vote for this president and believe they should be in power again 3. You can write George Washington though George Washington was a man who left office cementing the peaceful transfer of power & beginning his life of retirement on his plantation so clearly he wouldn’t accept it.

Teddy Roosevelt. The man is the GOAT!!

Sickly childhood overcome through "strenuous life" & boxing

Patrician wealthy background but an everyman

NYPD Commissioner who roamed streets solo at nite checking on those new drunken corrupt Irish cops

Secy of navy responsible for Great White Fleet projection of us power

Rough Rider in Cuba in his specially commissioned Brooks Brothers uniform

Badass Cowboy in the Badlands of Dakotas

Governor of NY State

Square Deal & Trustbuster & National Parks Creator

Panama Canal taker

Invented the White House press room & supported muckrakers

Nobel prize winner for mediating Russo Japanese war

Got shot & continued with speech another 90 minutes - the OG Bull Moose.

Practically filled the naturalist part of Smithsonian singlehandedly from hunting

Mapped & conservationist in the Amazon.

HE IS THE GOAT. NO ONE LIKE HIM. NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE!

[MisterWack]

@DrPepper12 This was an intelligently well put together answer from a thoughtful, well meaning, compassionate, and ambitious history teacher.
Couldn’t put it together myself, yet I have a soft spot for President Theodore Roosevelt.

His support of the Muckrakers is actually my number #1 reason to like him, #2 would be the Trustbusting, #3 Giving a speech after being shot like the badass Bullmoose he is. Bonus: Giving the Teddy Bear a proper masculine name.

[DrPepper12]

TR brands biography of him - "the last lion" is SO GOOD!! Highly recommend!!

I forgot about 🧸🐻!! That's just the icing on the cake!!

[MisterWack]

Will look into that Biography “the last lion”, thank you!
And absolutely icing on the cake.

Maybe Teddy Roosevelt, off the top of my head? I have some qualms with his views of some cultures as “savages”, but on the whole, I think what he’s about is the exact antithesis needed right now.

1. Pro-Conservationism, as opposed to climate change denial

2. Pro-Labor/Anti-Big Business…. He would never let the fuckery happening today go on;

3. He was more imperialist than I agree with, but he never would’ve bitched out and been looking to make any sort of concessions to Putin, if nothing else than to maintain a sphere of influence in Ukraine/Eastern Europe.

[MisterWack]

Yeah the pro conservationism, he would try to conserve our natural resources which if he were in power would reduce how much co2 we put into the air / put a transition on how electric is harnessed / spent.
Trustbusting actions & Muckraker stances would definitely make him clean up Washington DC’s oligarch problems for sure.
The imperialist mindset would go over a bit ‘radical’ to me, though he would stand with our allies and push for peace with Ukraine which would be a strong stance against Putin’s regime.

Theodore Roosevelt is a popular choice here, for good reason too.

[lightbulb27]

Truman maybe. Maybe roosevelt.

Can I vote for Kamala Harris for 1st president and remove Washington? Id like nothing better than to see her crossing the freezing cold Delaware leading the men to victory by surprise attack on British. How exciting that be?

Makes me want to poop my pants I'm so excited...

[MisterWack]

Okay 1st question I ask everyone, what specific reasons, policies, statements, events, etc. that makes you want to cast a vote to Truman or Roosevelt?
2nd, no you can’t time travel… This is all a hypothetical in current year 2069 and Kamala Harris is a Vice President so she is off the list of possibilities, maybe I’ll do a prior to January 20th 1977 VP Presidential Picks someday if you are interested.

[RedInnocent69]

No contest. FDR

[MisterWack]

I ask this to everyone that answered, what are some of the reasons for your pick? Could include policies, stances, speeches, actions, anything and everything is a reason. I just love hearing people’s explanations.

[RedInnocent69]

Mario Cuomo

[MisterWack]

No further questions.

[RedInnocent69]

Good catch

[katiesmuff]

John F Kennedy

[MisterWack]

Any particular reasons that stand out to you, like certain policies, actions, something to stick with you? President JFK is a fine choice by the way, I don’t want to sound like I’m giving the wrong message is all.

[katiesmuff]

He was a Democrat, but not like the moron group of this age. He served our country when called upon, didn't run like a fucking coward as our current one did, really stood up to bully Russia, and he apparently thought border control was good and working well back then. He always had a pleasant disposition unlike the current bubba and kept religion out of politics.

[MisterWack]

@katiesmuff Very thought provoking and a very well crafted & well rounded answer. Thank you very much.

[MysticDevice]

Teddy Roosevelt.

[MisterWack]

Another Teddy Roosevelt fan here today, always nice to see. 🤝

[MysticDevice]

It was between him and 'Ol George W

[MisterWack]

@MysticDevice Yeah George Washington also is a great pick, I even kept his wishes by making it clear that he is retired in this scenario since he stepped down peacefully & didn’t want back into American politics / to be a king. George Washington if he came back wouldn’t like people voting him again so, I let him retire in peace on his plantation.
