Even Nixon was well to the left of most Democrats on some issues. He was mostly evil, but some of his proposed policies were way better than anything the DNC talks about even now.
I was listening to a Ben Norton and Aaron Good podcast recently and they mentioned a Chomsky quote along the lines of “Nixon was the last liberal president.” His presidency marked the shift to neoliberalism among other things.
In general “mostly evil” is about as benevolent as one can expect a US president to be.

That’s actually exactly where I heard about Nixon recently.
