How would you have voted?: United States Presidential Elections

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I agree with most of your list, but why vote for Pinckney and not Adams? Adams was easily one of the best Federalists in my opinion, while Pinckney was one of the worst, especially on slavery. It's odd to me that you would vote for all these nonentites the Federalists nominated in later years but not the great John Adams.

I was very torn on the issue of voting for John Adams and, when first typing this list, I did cast my "vote" for John Adams. However, I reversed that decision based on two factors:

1. On principle, I would've abhorred the Alien and Seditions Act that Adams enacted.
2. I would've been considerably more aligned with France than Great Britain and would've detested the way in which Adams & Co. campaigned against Jefferson on this issue.

But Pinckney? The man literally wrote the 3/5ths compromise. At least write-in Clinton in 1808 if you can't stomach Madison.

That's a fair enough criticism. I admit to not being as familiar with Pinckney as I should be and chose him primarily as a protest vote against the inevitable Democratic-Republican victors. Considering how awful he was on the issue of slavery, I may have to reconsider my votes for him. Thank you for educating me on this!

2024: if Harris vs Trump: most likely Harris, if Biden vs Trump: depends on presidency, likely third party and downballot Democratic. But I prefer some GOP politicians over Biden, like Hawley, Crenshaw and DeSantis, which could easily change. I could change party registration to vote in GOP primaries, if there wasn't a competitive Democratic primary downballot or for president in 2024.

----

As to my actual votes, I didn't vote in 2016 because I was anarchist and opposed to voting on principle. Also, I lived in Georgia so my vote didn't matter anyways (wasn't a swing state yet) and, of course, "Hillary is going to win anyway." In 2020 I voted for Biden to appease the women in life, even though I was leaning towards not voting again.

It's hard for me to say prior to the modern era, other than Adams & Son, Lincoln (obviously), USG, SGC, Teddy, FDR. This is from an earlier thread. Obviously I lean heavily into some of my idols like Estes Kefauver, Robert F. Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, and Bernie Sanders. Also, while Al Gore would have been a fine president, I wonder what would have happened had Bradley taken off or if Gore had made him VP or another progressive instead of that awful, foul Lieberman.

It's hard for me to say prior to the modern era, other than Adams & Son, Lincoln (obviously), USG, SGC, Teddy, FDR. This is from an earlier thread. Obviously I lean heavily into some of my idols like Estes Kefauver, Robert F. Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, and Bernie Sanders. Also, while Al Gore would have been a fine president, I wonder what would have happened had Bradley taken off or if Gore had made him VP or another progressive instead of that awful, foul Lieberman.

1952: Kefauver/Eisenhower
1956: Kefauver/Eisenhower
1960: Kennedy
1964: Johnson
1968: Kennedy/Humphrey
1972: Chisholm/McGovern
1976: Brown/Carter
1980: Kennedy/Carter
1984: Jackson/Mondale
1988: Jackson/Dukakis
1992: Brown/Clinton
1996: Clinton
2000: Bradley/Gore
2004: Dean/Kerry
2008: Obama
2012: Obama
2016: Sanders/Clinton
2020: Sanders/Biden

Why would you choose Eisenhower over Adlai Stevenson II, since Kefauver was the candidate for vice president on Stevenson's slate?

I think Eisenhower was a good president for his time, but I like Kefauver better. I don't really rate Adlai Stevenson at all, and the fact that he was nominated in such a non-democratic fashion in 1952, as was standard back then, would have angered me against the Democratic Party.

2012: Karger

Out of curiosity, why Karger?

2012: Karger

Out of curiosity, why Karger?

He's pro-immigration reform and pro-LGBT and I don't like Obama (who, ftr, was not great on immigration). By the time the NC primaries rolled around in 2012, Karger would've withdrawn so I probably would have written in someone. This is because I didn't really like any of the other candidates who ran in 2012 except maybe Ron Paul. I think at least Paul is genuine but I have deep policy disagreements with him that would probably prevent support on my part.

Interesting, I’m not too knowledgeable about Karger but he sounds cool

Why would you vote for McCain after voting for Gore and Kerry?
