Opinion of Grover Cleveland

[TDAS04]

?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Very bad!

[SWE]

On a personal level, absolute human garbage. As a president, similarly pretty bad although one of the best foreign policies of any president.

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

He was too much of a small government type.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

WC Politician whom was horrible on Jim Crow laws HP, WC Melvin Fuller initiated Plessy v Ferguson clause, whom was Cleveland appointment to SCOTUS

WC, were Refered to any Dem that supported States Rights, it doesn't matter if it's Dixiecrat, WC or states rights, it all means same thing

[Big Abraham]

Taken all for all, one of the better presidents we've had. That either isn't saying much, or is saying quite a lot, depending on your perspective.

[Santander]

Top 10 President for sure.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Obviously pretty bad, but at least he was't an imperialist.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Sent army on Pullman Strike = bad

[Never Made it to Graceland]

FF

[Mexican Wolf]

Liked his anti-imperialist stances (especially in regards to Hawai'i), pretty meh to bad on him otherwise.

[Sir Mohamed]

On the wrong side of history. HP.

[Alben Barkley]

Mediocre. But how bad most of the other presidents of his era were redeems him somewhat, as he looks pretty good compared to them.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Agreed, he was easily the best gilded age president imo. Only Grant comes close.

[President Johnson]

Comes out as HP on balance. Did some good stuff on civil service reform and opposed imperialism, but his economic policies were bad overall and he was also pretty reactionary on social issues, especially his staunch opposition to women's sufferage to the very end.

You know what he appointed two segregationist to SCOTUS, Melvin Fuller and Edward D White that affirmed Pleasy v Ferguson, Segregation laws

[OSR stands with Israel]

Mediocre. But how bad most of the other presidents of his era were redeems him somewhat, as he looks pretty good compared to them.

depends on whether McKinley counts as a gilded age President cause if he does than McKinley is easily the best one

Oh no! They weren't perfect! While Fuller was responsible for Pleasy, he also authored Gonzales v. Williams, which affirmed that Porto Ricans were U.S. nationals (tho not necessarily U.S. citizens) by being citizens of an unincorporated U.S. territory. (It wasn't until the 1917 Jones–Shafroth Act that Porto Ricans automatically gained U.S. citizenship.) White authored the opinion in Guinn that struck down grandfather clauses used to make it easier for whites to vote by exempting them from the stringent requirements that were applied to non-whites.

Good on foreign policy, trade, currency, and alcohol laws, bad on women’s suffrage.

Never would have pegged you as the gold standard type

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

On a personal level, absolute human garbage. As a president, similarly pretty bad although one of the best foreign policies of any president.

This. Any leftist who gives a full-throated FF rating to the President who had the (possibly non-consenting) mother of his child locked in an asylum, sent in active-duty military as strikebreakers, and insisted that "sensible and responsible women do not want to vote" is no leftist for me.

[Antonio the Sixth]

He was too much of a small government type.

If by "small-government" you mean "agressively wielding the power of the state in service of the owning class" then sure, I guess he was.

[darklordoftech]

Wouldn’t the silver standard have caused inflation?

Only because silver coins were overvalued.  If we had switched to a silver standard with larger silver coins, then that wouldn't have necessarily been inflationary.

"A little inflation now and then is a good thing."
