/r/Presidents
A subreddit discussing presidents of the United States.
Discord: https://discord.gg/k6tVFwCEEm
Rules:
All posts must relate to U.S. presidents. Posts about vice presidents, first and second families, and Cabinet officials are also allowed.
Remain civil. Personal attacks (e.g., threats, insults, clown emojis), bigotry (e.g., racism, sexism, genocide denial), celebrating death, and other violations of Reddit's Content Policy are not permitted. Extreme or repeated offenses will result in a ban.
No recent or future politics. As this is a historical subreddit, posts and comments about recent and future politics are not allowed. This includes absolutely all references to Presidents Trump and Biden in any context whatsoever. Please do not rank Trump and Biden in your tier lists.
No NSFW posts.
No unreasonable hypotheticals or outlandish fiction. For example, posts about “what if so and so became president?” should be limited to figures who had a reasonable chance at the presidency; Benjamin Wade is fine, Kanye West is not.
No low-effort posts. Low-effort posts (e.g., "What if all the presidents met in a room", "Who would win in a fight", "Describe me based on my favorite presidents or voting history") will be removed at moderators’ discretion.
Memes (including meme tier lists) and AI images are only allowed on Mondays. Memes (including meme tier lists) and AI-generated images are only allowed from 12 AM EST to 11:59 PM PST on Mondays. Note that Rule 6 still applies to these posts.
No reposts.
No polls.
Consider posting your polls to r/Presidentialpoll or another polling subreddit. If you are interested in creating a presidential poll, please submit it there.
General comments: /r/Presidents is devoted to the historical outlook, lessons, history, campaigning, and ramifications of the U.S. Presidency and those who have held the highest office in the land.
We encourage your contributions of Presidential trivia, historical facts and insight, news articles, pictures, Presidential runner-ups and their campaigns, and thoughtful discussion in hopes of growing a large and active community.
This is not a place for bashing Presidents for bashing's sake. However, a cordial debate over policy decisions is always welcome.

Personally it’s one of my all time favourites, but that is mostly just the doctor’s writing skills. I find the optimism held by HST fascinating. For awhile He genuinely believed McGovern held a chance when nowadays we viewed it as an impossible task. What are your thoughts?
