it's insanely cool how "it's her turn" wasn't just hubris but because she didn't actually stand for anything besides "i deserve to be president"

I can't imagine a worse takeaway than that if you campaign in a state then people will notice there's an election campaign.
It's amazing. "Hillary Clinton doesn't reflect what voters want, therefore, we will not campaign!"

Carter was pretty far to the right of Congressional Democrats at the time. He responded to the oil crisis with pretty big austerity measures. He actually started the deregulation binge that Reagan kicked into full gear.

The biggest economic shittiness during the Carter years was due to Paul Volcker crashing the economy to reduce inflation caused by the oil crisis.
I saw one article comparing Carter to Trump

i mean articles like that are often indulgent mental exercises but yeah, Carter was kind of a fluke who ran against his own party. everyone was expecting Nelson Rockefeller or Ted Kennedy to get elected that year.
