Nixon is another F-, just felt like I ought to mention that.

Not sure why we are applying - and + to this nonsense anyway.

Edit: Actually, I am just not going to rate Carter because I know next to nothing about his presidency and don't feel like me searching his name on Google for ten minutes just now was enough to give me a fair picture to judge from.

I think it is a bit difficult to judge Biden already, but I'll do my best.

Biden: F
Trump: B+
Obama: D
Bush: D-
Clinton: B
HW Bush (Kush): D+
Reagan: C-
Carter: F

Also, Nixon was an A+. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Trump. X...Insurrectionist with no clue as to what the phrase Noble Statesman might mean.

Biden. A+....If only for getting the fuck out of Afghanistan.

Dubya. C....Great entertainment value....Those gaffs had us in stitches, providing our impressionists with a wealth of material.

Obama. B...Nice guy, nice family.

Clinton. C...Monica harmonica, got to admire the guy.

Carter. B...Great peanuts and smile.

Bush Snr. C...Average Statesman with Dan providing the entertainment.

Reagan. B...Him and Gorby, the love affair that had us momentarily captivated.

That’s true, and I was tempted to give him a D- because I approve of him resisting the crazies who want escalation with Russia. Having a president old enough to remember the Cuban missile crisis does have some advantages

Trump would have gotten a B if he could’ve accepted his loss and not landed many of his most gullible followers in federal prison and cost republicans the senate during his tantrum. If he had acted like an adult his entire term he would get an B+ (he would also still be President.) Most of the stuff he actually did I liked, but I was so incredibly tired of doing mental gymnastics to defend the man.

Bill Clinton has a pretty negative reputation among young people on the left. Because it was the post Reagan era he governed pretty much as a centrist…and he really might be a rapist. The Epstein stuff is a huge problem that’s never been addressed

Also as bad as he is, he didn’t kill a million people over nothing like Bush did. I’m changing my grade of old Joe to a D-

I guess, but I assumed the ratings were on leadership, not celebrity status.

If he had acted like an adult his entire term he would get an B+ (he would also still be President.)

I think it's predictable how he refused to lift a finger stop the left from destroying itself. Case in point, the left is in such a tailspin to do anything to maintain power, they take the stance that anyone that opposes them is an insurrectionist and cannot legally run against them for power positions. Essentially that is a call for an armed civil war since there are no legal democratic alternatives to resist the left. Trump had too many axes and chips to forgive the left and come together.

That’s fair, he’s definitely pissed me off a lot since his loss. However, I just thought that many of his policies and the positions he made mainstream were just so much better than any other president in recent history. Such as every other president listed being super squishy on China and doing nothing to stop illegal immigration.

So I figured balancing that with a lot of the stupid things he said, he’s in the B-range for me

I also initially gave Biden a D- because at least we’re out of Afghanistan, even though it was done horribly. But I really just struggled to find anything I thought was positive from his presidency.

Well it’s the current year, and the things he passed are no longer PC

I thought the DOMA and crime bill were rather brilliant on balance. Welfare reform wasn’t too shabby either.

Exactly. For "progressives", the  only History that exists is revisionist history. When a Democrat in power threatens to write you off for being on the "wrong side of history" it's literally accurate. Fortunately, people are sick of the regressive tyrannical threats and ready to make a change in 2022.

The one thing I learned from debating liberals over a span of half a decade is that emotional arguments mean the world to them and they’re never going to change their emotions.

Please replace 'liberals' with 'conservatives' and I totally get you.

The fundamental idea that a rich person owning many millions and snowballing their advantage at ridiculous rates at the sake of many starving people isn't 'resisting empathy' of the starving and desperate, it's empathising too much with somebody who'd be just as happy/unhappy without quite as extremely much of a chokehold on their respective level of wealth, industry etc.

I'm not sure what you mean though, literally the entire platform of right-wing conservatives is about irrational, emotional appeals. I don't want to go into pro-life with you as I have noticed before it's a very sensitive topic and I do not deny the fetus is genuinely human.

Again name something. You already admit that the a human exists inside the womb. Logically killing it is wrong. There’s nothing emotional about it. It’s simple fact

I can explain the logic if you want.

Is banning abortion the only thing you find logical in the conservative stance?
