Teddy was a big time imperialist

Teddy would definitely belong in his own Medium Place.

Nah. He was a badass, but not a good person

But he did establish the national park service, which I think lands him in the secret third place

He did that so he could enjoy his hunting trips in peace. There was also a forgettable president or two that seemed like better people than him. He's top 5, but not better than Lincoln or Carter.

Carter was almost a neolib, but he promoted the humanitarian side of liberalism better than almost every other president. He was too weak for the neoliberals and too neoliberal for the social democrats.
