Is anyone else bothered by the complete lack of seeding in this bracket?

Shitty genocidal egomaniac versus shitty genocidal egomaniac.

Yeah I'm just gonna give this to Jackson solely because there's a decent musical about him. Both of them sucked as people and as presidents.

A new poll is now up, it is Martin Van Buren against Jimmy Carter, both were one term presidents. Ronald Reagan won the last poll against Andrew Jackson with 13 votes against Jackson's 6.

I voted for Carter, he was a good guy, he was placed in some tough times, he wasn't perfect and probably could have made some better decisions. But he was a good guy, and did good after he left office. I don't know much about Van Buren, he's a forgettable figure, but I know he was a strong ally of Andrew Jackson and oversaw much of the trail of tears.

Carter ftw. He was much better and more effective than Buren.

Jimmy Carter is underrated. I honestly don't understand why he gets so much hate. Was it because of Iran? Because that whole thing was decades in the making.

I hate that I have to immediately choose between these two presidents. I like them both, for completely different reasons.

A new poll is up it's William Henry Harrison against Gerald Ford, both presidents who did not serve full terms. Jimmy Carter won the last poll with 13 votes against Martin Van Buren who had 3 votes.

I'm going to leave for maybe a day longer.

Another poll is up it's two bad presidents who both had impeachment inquiries launched against them. William Henry Harrison won the last poll with 7 votes against Gerald Ford's 4.

John Tyler won the last poll against Richard Nixon with Tyler having 6 votes Nixon having 4. Tyler will face William Henry Harrison the president who he served as Vice President to and who he took over from upon the latter's death. The new poll that is up is James Polk against Lyndon Johnson.

I voted for Johnson, I think his mind was in the right place with the War on Poverty, I think he had good intentions with Vietnam, but even with Vietnam I think he was better than Polk, who was a protégé of Andrew Jackson and forced out the natives with his manifest destiny and went to war with Mexico. He achieved a lot, but not necessarily what I would like.

Alright, how did Ford lose to William Henry Harrison? At least Ford governed for a longer period than Harrison.

We're back with a new poll up it's Zachary Taylor vs. John F. Kennedy both presidents who died in office. James Polk won the last poll with 6 votes against Lyndon Johnson's 4 votes.

New poll is up, John F. Kennedy easily won the last one getting 8 votes while Zachary Taylor didn't garner any. The new poll is Millard Fillmore up against Dwight Eisenhower.

by **Hopal** » Sun May 09, 2021 7:40 am

Another blowout poll has ended, Dwight Eisenhower won the last one with 5 votes while Millard Fillmore didn't get any. A new poll is up with Franklin Pierce against Harry Truman.

Moreover, he's currently the president, it's very hard to have a clear view on his policies and decisions (same for Trump, but at least he finished his term). And it would have made some room for Johnson.

Considering the absolute mess that was the Trump years, I think we can already judge him for the job he did. D- at best.

by **Hopal** » Mon May 10, 2021 4:58 pm

New Poll is up again. Harry Truman quite easily won the last one with 9 votes against Franklin Pierce's 1. The new poll is James Buchanan against Franklin Roosevelt.

by **Hopal** » Thu May 13, 2021 6:31 pm

A New Poll is up it's two Republican Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Herbert Hoover against each other. Franklin Roosevelt won the last battle of Democrats against James Buchanan unanimously with 8 votes.

by **Hopal** » Sat May 15, 2021 6:05 pm

Another unanimous vote just closed, though it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Abraham Lincoln won unanimously with 6 votes against Herbert Hoover. The next poll is another set of Republicans this time it's Calvin Coolidge and Ulysses S. Grant.
