I guess me running Dukakis as the arch liberal I am and not to win an election is gonna kill me

in the 19th century elections, you can't even pick states to go to, you have to give up weeks at a time to take wagons east or west lol
jesus fuck. third, despite getting 39% of the pop vote

had to say some shitty things, but won with Gore as VP
Congratulations! You have won the 1988 election.
In spite of a hard-fought challenge from George Bush, you have held on to succeed Ronald Reagan.
You were always the favorite to win, but a lot could have gone wrong. On the political front, you can work a Democratic House to overturn the worst excesses of Reagan. Internationally, you can hopefully oversee a period of relaxed tension with the Soviet Union.

heh I'm doing Jesse Jackson as my Veep now and lord right out the gate, the support I got for the same answers was so much more muted.

you have to time your visit to Florida just right to nail the Elian Gonzales question lol

gonna go the opposite direction and see if I can lose with Dubya

I'm convinced Gore isn't winnable. i've answered the questions in just about every net-positive way possible, I've changed up the state visits. even if I visit nobody but FL, I lose.
― sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Monday, 10 February 2020 23:55 (six years ago)
run Dubya as a liberal and Gore wins. But yeah I don't think there's a way to run as Gore and win, or at least I can't find it
― Οὖτις, Monday, 10 February 2020 23:57 (six years ago)
i'm going to run Trump now and see if I can lose in embarrassing fashion.

I ran Dubya as close to the real world as I could, hit the Rust Belt hard, won Florida, still lost. I blame my running mate, Colin Powell.

― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:07 (six years ago)
The one time I did it, I got 0 electoral votes lol
― sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:08 (six years ago)
I just did it, got zero electoral votes... and Gore won!
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:14 (six years ago)
Yeah when I tried Nader I got zero electoral votes, like 2% popular vote. Gore did win though.
― Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:25 (six years ago)
Got Humphrey to wallop Nixon 362-131 in 68, visits to the south must have made the difference.

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.

I find this really hard to believe!
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 13 February 2020 16:07 (six years ago)
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
― sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Thursday, 13 February 2020 16:10 (six years ago)

what was your strategy?
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 13 February 2020 20:51 (six years ago)
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.
― justice 4 CCR (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 13 February 2020 20:57 (six years ago)
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.
― hyds (gyac), Sunday, 16 February 2020 10:11 (six years ago)
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.
― hyds (gyac), Sunday, 16 February 2020 10:12 (six years ago)
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.
