I won with Hillary in 2016 with Bernie's platform.

ahhh then I got creamed in 88 as Dukakis with John Glenn as my running mate. I had a lot of states in play right up until I wouldn't commit to "no new taxes". from then on i could never recover.

can I beat Lincoln? hmm

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 02:08 (four years ago) link

Lol, I won only 17 electoral college votes as Dukakis with Jesse Jackson as running mate.

With considerable charm, you still have made a choice (Sund4r), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 02:15 (four years ago) link

I won with Dukakis/Bentsen!

I should really not go into US political strategy, judging by this game.

I'm pretty terrible at all pre-2000 stuff that isn't Nixon related mostly cos I essentially ignored politics until I was 20 (2000).

now time to take down Woodrow Wilson's ass

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 02:30 (four years ago) link

I am generally not doing this strategically rn and just doing what sounds best to me personally, which is apparently not a hit with the electoral college.

that's why I lost so much in the beginning.

the first one i tried was nixon v kennedy, 1960, as nixon,(and boringly, with henry cabot lodge jr as running mate). kennedy won in a landslide (333 EVs)

i did some really dumb things, though. they asked me if i wanted to debate JFK on tv, and even though i know the sweaty history, i thought it would look weak if i refused to debate him. so i debated anyway (and got my sweaty ass kicked).

there were a bunch of questions about the civil rights movement, and i felt like an asshole trying to thread the needle without offending the south too much. turns out i got my ass kicked in the south anyway, so i should have introduced reparations and steep penalties for anyone living in a state with a confederate flag on it

But guess what? Nobody gives a toot!😂 (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 02:58 (four years ago) link

oh dont' worry, once you lose this stupid game three times, it becomes EASY TO SELL OUT

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 03:06 (four years ago) link

alright, i have triumphed in 1960 with Nixon, this time with Nelson Rockefeller at my side. turns out the correct strategy was just to say fuck the south. oh, and also saying no to that debate with JFK.

But guess what? Nobody gives a toot!😂 (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 03:15 (four years ago) link

FINALLY WON AS GORE

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 03:20 (four years ago) link

Been banging my head against the wall trying to beat obama in 2012. Just managed a close loss at 272/266, damn that’s a hard tightrope to walk.

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

Una Palooka Dronka (hardcore dilettante), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 05:54 (four years ago) link

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

anvil, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 06:59 (four years ago) link

NC not GA!

anvil, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 06:59 (four years ago) link

symsymsym, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 07:47 (four years ago) link

symsymsym, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 08:01 (four years ago) link

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

turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 14:59 (four years ago) link

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

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

anvil, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 19:05 (four years ago) link

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

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 20:31 (four years ago) link

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

justice 4 CCR (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:04 (four years ago) link

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

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:07 (four years ago) link

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

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:08 (four years ago) link

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

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:14 (four years ago) link

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 (four years ago) link

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

Dan Worsley, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:33 (four years ago) link

I spent a lot of time in Texas in '68

justice 4 CCR (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 21:46 (four years ago) link

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