He fundamentally helped reshape American liberalism as a movement that wants to use government intervention as a means to uplift the lower classes - while before American liberalism was mostly anti-government, believing that its intervention would only mean subsidies and favors to the wankers bankers and the ruling classes. And that is his most important legacy.
But more specifically:
He was a populist, anti-imperialist hero (good)
He attacked snob and wealthy city-dwellers (good to an extent)
He supported women's suffrage (good)
He accepted Jim Crow laws (very very bad)
He supported Prohibition (I'm inclined to say good)*
He was a full-fledged creationist (bad)**
So I voted narrowly for "FF".

*I will be roasted for this... guess I should befriend ExtremeRepublican

**Although most evolutionists at the time were full-fledged eugenicists...
By the way, H. L. Mencken, the journalist who popularized the Scopes trial and attacked WJB in his articles about it, was a f***ing misanthropic resentful man who wrote scathing articles on pretty much everything that came to his mind. He loved Nietzsche, and indeed had the same f***ing "men are ignorant and stupid monkeys fooled by religion and democracy" attitude of Nietzsche, coupled with a big "racist towards everyone" one too.

Actually he didnt, he borrowed everything from Karl Marx, that was his mentor. Dawanism was a Karl Marx theory. Just like Madison didnt really change much from the Roman, English law. House and Senate were the exact model of Roman law. Whigs or Bull Moose party, which was liberal at first and then became conservative was English law. That's why our buildings in the Capital are Roman Collessiums slaves built.

You want to know why AA are so hard on Jefferson, Jackson and Wilson, they built the Capitol buildings and Pyrimids without modern technology

I wouldn't necessarily call WJB a Dawanist.  Marx rejected religion wholesale, which Bryan's secular philosophy did not do, because it utilized Christianity as the way to achieve secularism by outlawing the teaching of Darwinism.  Darwinism contradicts Dawanism if it's used to justify public policy.

Its over generalized nonsense, with a ton of falsehoods baked in. Doesn't matter where you sourced it from, that just means they don't know what they are talking about either.
