Who was a better president?

[TDAS04]

Who would have been a better president?  Perhaps that's a better phrasing. 

[TNF]

Garfield was a radical Republican IIRC, so definitely him.

That's also why I picked Garfield.  Based on the entire lives of these two, I'm guessing that Garfield would have been a better president had each of them lived at least 1-2 years while in office.  I have always been fond of the 20th POTUS, one reason being that he shared a name with a fictional orange cat.

The W. H. Harrison Administration was quite possibly the best administration we've ever had. Scandal-free, the administration suffered no catastrophes of any sort. America did well.

Can't tell if sarcasm or actual libertarian logic

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Who was? Harrison
Who would be? Garfield, of course. Arthur's term was very influenced by Garfield and his death.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

John Tyler is not feeling the love here.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Garfield was a radical Republican IIRC, so definitely him.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Went with Harrison due to him brings boss and not being a Garfield fanboy. In all honesty, I have little idea, though Garfield likely would've stood out more due to liberal legislation he might've passed.

Nothing got screwed up.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

In my personal rankings, Harrison is right in the middle. Did nothing wrong, did nothing right. That's the most logical place for him.

So he's neutral. Good means actively improving the nation, not just the lack of making it worse.

For me, Harrison is the line that separates the good and bad Presidents.  Those Presidents who've left the nation better off are above him, those who left it worse off are below him.

I would say left-libertarianism is a very different ideological movement than mainstream American libertarianism. But anyway, yeah, feel free to jump on me for the unfair generalization.

This is really the only place for him that makes sense.

Of course.
