can YOU win an election? take over a President's consciousness and go back in time and win!

Evidence suggests I would have a great deal of difficulty winning any American election.

it's funny, I won a few of these elections and now I don't feel the need to play this anymore.

it's kinda like stopping Mike Tyson's Punchout after beating King Hippo.

Played as Hillary in 2016

Won with 314 on normal mode, 308 on hard mode, and 304 on impossible.

I only went to OH, FL, AZ, TX and GA, just lit them up repeatedly

NC not GA!

lost with obama (but won the popular vote!) after legalizing marijuana, then won with obama after changing vp to hilary

winning with truman is really fun somehow

OK just CRUSHED 2012 Obama by 6m votes & 150EVs by going right down the middle as a squishy-as-fuck moderate, say hello to your first Mormon prez bitches

Last night I almost won as Hilary 2016 on hard by being as racist 'moderate' as possible.

screw you, michigan and wisconsin

I, Albert Gore, just got my clock cleaned by W. I had a lot of the map in play until the DUI came up and I went negative.

You let down this once great nation.

screw you, michigan and wisconsin

Didn't visit Wisconsin once (wanted to keep some character traits), might have touched PA once but OH was the toughest cat and I thought if i took that one down the other 3 would get shook and fall in line

lol in my hillary sim i went to michigan and wisconsin first and often

Lol if you intentionally tank as Lincoln, you can get the fun scenario I just did where four candidates get electoral votes and nobody gets a majority

Hell yeah, I trounced Nixon in '68 running a pretty leftward campaign and shit talking Nixon whenever possible.

I wonder if there's any way to win as Nader...

The one time I did it, I got 0 electoral votes lol

I just did it, got zero electoral votes... and Gore won!

Yeah when I tried Nader I got zero electoral votes, like 2% popular vote. Gore did win though.

Got Humphrey to wallop Nixon 362-131 in 68, visits to the south must have made the difference.

I spent a lot of time in Texas in '68

got no electoral majority as humphrey, probably not a great outcome

Candidate Electoral Votes Popular Votes Popular Vote %
---- Richard Nixon 247 31,533,107 43.0%
---- Hubert H. Humphrey 246 32,268,933 44.1%
---- George Wallace 45 9,448,091 12.9%

I leaked that Nixon sabotaged the peace talks, and that put me over the finish line. I felt conflicted about choosing Kennedy as my running mate, but figured that likely changed history to prevent Mary Jo Kopechne's death, so was mollified.

kicked Kennedy's assssss

i'm going to increase the difficulty now

i'm going to decrease the difficulty now

beat McKinley's stank ass

just took down Woodrow "Invalid" Wilson

ok somehow I managed to get 0 votes nationally as Nader. idk if that's a bug or I just ran that bad a campaign but

--- Al Gore 349 54,998,168 51.9%
---- George W. Bush 189 50,618,403 47.8%
---- Pat Buchanan 0 277,366 0.3%
---- Ralph Nader 0 0 0.0%

lol apparently people have won as Nader before. i gotta see if selling out will do it

Revenge of the Corvair

I was Dukakis. I ran with John Glenn. I lost worse than Dukakis.

lol apparently people have won as Nader before.

I find this really hard to believe!

There must be a glitch people can exploit cos it def seems to be the buggiest election. Nader kept getting 0 votes yesterday and when i looked at the stats panel the formatting is off.

It said 1% of Nader voters had won and somehow someone achieved all 538 EVs which hasn't happened on like any other election

there's gotta be some cheat

I am determined to win as Dukakis... so far no dice

I finally edged out GHWB by less than 1% to keep 1000 points of light from ever shining.

what was your strategy?

the combo that finally worked was using Gore & going relentlessly negative at nearly every opportunity. I concentrated mainly on visiting Texas, Missouri, Ohio & Michigan. Of the 4 I only won Michigan but that plus the coasts was enough to eke out electoral victory.

Won in 2000 with Gore/Kerry 307-231. Kerry peeled off lefter leaning voters, I went hard on the “hold your nose” vote, CLIMATE CHANGE. Florida was solid blue.

Won in 2016 with Clinton/Warren 338-200. Lots of class politics (lol), getting Obama to help gtvo, and I won fucking Utah and Nevada.

Balls, pressed post before I could finish. Still can’t win with Dukakis but my highest was around 230 EC votes - which I thought was awful until I saw how many he got irl.

Just won as Hillary, with Booker as running mate; brought Sanders out as much as possible while staying moderate/vague on most issues and going negative on Trump.

Also I spent a lot of time in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

I got creamed running as Hillary with Warren as my running mate.

Yeah, I did that the first time and lost big.

alright, gonna go fuck up some history again

I keep imagining the 2020 version of this game

"Coronavirus is here! Do you...."

Lost to Cuntrow Wilson by 1 damn EV
