Why is he a good man?
- WalterBright 4y agoHis work on Habitat for Humanity, for one. It's not virtue signalling for Jimmy, he's out there swinging a hammer alongside everyone else. His work in ensuring fair elections in various countries, for another.
- Sparkle-san 4y agoAnd the work of the Carter Center to eradicate Guinea worm. The number of cases each year used to be in the millions. The number of cases so far this year is just 2.
- brian_cunnie 4y agoAgreed. He works hard to make the world a better place.

- cato_the_elder 4y ago> It ain't too late yet for him to do a second term. He's going to be 100 years old in 2024. [1] If that's not too old for being a president, we might as well elect dead men.

- rc_mob 4y agoFor one, he is still trying to protect the Alaskan wilderness
