Best Presidents of the U.S.

[Olivaero]

Liberals in foreign sense (except for Great Britain and South Korea and a few other countries) are more associated with American conservatism or libertarianism. The liberals in America are are closer to democratic socialist ideology and traditional conservatism.

Democrats favored regulation on market, progressive tax rates, and bigger government which is associated with European socialism. Republicans favored free market, low taxes, and smaller government which is associated with classical liberalism on the case of Europe and most countries

This post makes no sense and I find it hard to believe you're someone who has any knowledge in politics after referencing democratic socialism when discussing the USA or claiming there's something called European socialism.

Considering he/she also said the republicans are pro small government I think it's pretty clear how clueless he/she is.

Socialists in Europe made some changes in their ideology in the cold war. If you look at important socialist parties in Europe, they're not focusing on revolution or something like that. They focus on the topic of welfare, regulation, stronger central government, something Democrats bring up

There are almost no popular socialist parties anywhere in Europe. Most of Europe is run by center-right parties very similar to the Democrats or center-left parties very similar to the Justice Party or 1940's era Democrats/1950's era Republicans.

The Socialist Party in France, the Social-Democrat party in Germany, the Labour Party in Britain, the Socialist Party in Bulgaria,
They're pretty important. centre-left parties are influential and France is under a Socialist President Francois Hollande

They're all social democrats. Much like North Korea calling itself a democratic republic, names mean nothing.

The New Deal by Franklin D Roosevelt pretty much created the American form of liberalism which contrast with the liberalism continnental Europe uses vastly

[New Corenea]

Those are social democrats. Not denying that and the Democrat Party in the US is have nearly the same principles as these centre-left parties in Europe

No it doesn't. The Democrats have in the past shrunk welfare, "denationalized" (if you can even call it that, the US is so far right it very rarely actually nationalizes something) industries, and introduced austerity measures.


And social democrats aren't socialists.

Obamacare is pretty much nationalizing healthcare, Obama's planned education budget nationalize the education system, Democrats support higher taxation on rich people, and there's still lots of welfare in America, used by both economically disadvantaged and welfare kings and queens

[Divair]

Obamacare is pretty much nationalizing healthcare,

A mandate to buy insurance from private insurance companies isn't anything like nationalization. Do you even know what the fuck nationalization is?

Obama's planned education budget nationalize the education system,

Source.

Democrats support higher taxation on rich people,

So do center-right parties everywhere else. Progressive taxation is a given for every party that isn't far-right.

and there's still lots of welfare in America, used by both economically disadvantaged and welfare kings and queens

Compared to Europe or South America it's nothing.

I'm a Brazilian who learned English and to a minor degree Spanish by himself because he is a digital native.

Of course I only know that Bush the Kid was surely in the top 5 of the worst persons to be democratically elected in all of the 21st century regarding their countries (even worse than Putin if considering this aspect, and I am proud bi genderqueer, everybody knows Russia is backward, they need the good ol' PLC 122 i.e. the planned anti-heterosexist Brazilian thought police) and Obama is not good, and "worse than regular" according to Americans I know, but he surely is much less worse.

You have no fucking clue what nationalization is, do you? Where does it say the government is taking over private schools and universities?

[New Corenea]

Although I can't say I oppose the education budget, this is only from one side of the review so it could be sinister than said

It's like you picked the essential opposite of what makes sense. Ronny Dumbfuck and Calvin Coolidge were two of the worst Presidents of the 20th century.

While I'm a fan of JFK and LBJ, they do have that Vietnam thing to answer for.

I find this rather curious as well. Even McKinley managed to get a place in his list.

While I have no fucking idea of who Grant was, and Nixon was presented to me in a very negative light, if what I learned in school makes some sense I totally approve of the Democratic list.

Nixon was presented to me in a very negative light

And for a good reason: He was one of the worst American presidents of the 20th century.
