Well, it should be obvious to everyone who I voted for.
Ares the god?

I say Pierce gets exonerated. His kid died before his eyes right before taking office; do you expect anyone to have a good term after that? Andrew Johnson was average in my opinion. Warren Harding had scandals, but he fixed the economy in barely a year; doesn't that count for anything? What did Coolidge do that gets him anywhere near this list? If anything he should be near the top.
Pierce gets my sympathy for the tragic death of his son but I don't think that excuses his signature on the Kanas Nebraska Act. Civil rights measures. Andrew Johnson vetoed civil rights measures. Cooldge did not enact any progressive reforms.
Franklin Pierce: Kansas-Nebraska Act. Let's undo the 1850 Compromise in four years trololol! That doesn't have anything to do with his kids.I say Pierce gets exonerated.

If anything he should be near the top. And Andrew Jackson was totally badass! Cleveland, overall, was really good. His first term was perfect, and his second term was marred by a recession that wasn't his fault. So......Hayes wasn't "great," but he really wasn't bad; I can't think of a major reason that would make him terrible? I personally like Tyler. Love Bush

This is fucking hilarious.Franklin Pierce: Kansas-Nebraska Act. Let's undo the 1850 Compromise in four years trololol!
He just wanted to be left to his books and vivisection of small animals.Maybe about James Madison, he was a really terrible wartime President.
Seriously, I'm not sure if even Dred Scott-pushing Buchanan would do that.This is fucking hilarious.
Sigged.

At the very least, Harding pardoned Eugene Debs; that's more than Wilson ever did, and at the very least should get him bumped a few places back on the list.
Also, he certain wasn't a fascist like Coolidge...
No, I don't expect it, which is why he should have resigned from office. Of course, newly-promoted President King would die a month and a half after inauguration, making way for President Atchison. Interesting stuff.
On Different Worlds someone wrote a TL where Pierce died int
the train crash President Acheson gives so much support to the filli usteres a d the Ostend Manifesto tha war with Spain breaks out. The US Wins the war and takes Cuba abd Puerto Rico,but not the Phillipines. There was amazing butterfly potential in that TL.For example I asked since there won't be a Spanish American War in 1898, what happens to the political careert of Theodore Roosevelt?
The way he brought in the military to break the police strike as governor? That's fascisistic.Coolidge, a fascist? Fascists are many things, but they aren't boring.

HE'S BEAT WASHINGTON'S PERCENTAGE RECOOOORRRRD!!!
Salazar was so conservative that fascism is too liberal for him.I dunno, I heard Antonio Salazar was a pretty boring dude. (An economics professor? Really?)
Yes it is, but he also was quite the non-racist, but that doesn't make him a civil rights hero. Quite the opposite, with not crushing the second KKK and all.The way he brought in the military to break the police strike as governor? That's fascisistic.

Have we already accepted the fact that the Southern states will not cast their electors for Frémont?
What about Jackson, or -- can't believe I'm saying this -- Lincoln?Yes it is, but he also was quite the non-racist, but that doesn't make him a civil rights hero. Quite the opposite, with not crushing the second KKK and all.
The closets we had to a fascist POTUS was Woodrow Wilson, and some economic reforms + authoritarianism + segregationism isn't really fascism at all. Even if he did want to be Philip Dru.
