So what shitty things did he do? All I know about him is the habitat for humanity shit and the peanut farming.

    He armed Indonesia during their genocide against East Timor.

    Unfortunately, despite its professions of support for human rights in Indonesia, the Carter Administration picked up where Kissinger and Ford had left off. As Noam Chomsky writes in the preface to Matthew Jardine's 1995 book, East Timor: Genocide in Paradise, "In 1977, Indonesia found itself short of weapons, an indication of the scale of its attack. The Carter administration accelerated the arms flow."[7] U.S. arms sales hit $112 million in 1978, and averaged nearly $60 million per year for the four years of the Carter administration -- this was more than twice the level of weaponry supplied to the Suharto regime by the Ford Administration.

    iirc, he tried to rescue them by sending in special forces, only for them to crash a helicopter into a C-130 after landing Iran, and then they had to abort

    They flew 2 helicopters across the whole country wish casting that it wouldn’t get shot down.

    He also didn’t manage to offer a good deal to the Iranians, instead Reagan managed to make a secret deal that makes Reagan look like the one who actually solve the crisis once he got into office

    He knew what was happening in Cambodia, too. He said something along the lines of "Pol Pot is bad, but a necessary evil to stop Vietnam's communism from spreading."

    I don't know what's worse than children being euthanized because they need glasses or teachers/professors getting public executions for being teachers/professors. And AFAIK, it's the largest killing in history based on population. Something like 25% of Cambodians were killed by the Khmer Rouge.
