1960 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls **live commentary thread**
« on: November 8, 1960, 01:02:55 am »

America will never elect a Catholic, that is why Richard Nixon will win. Ike is still popular because of the highways and now people can drive to the polls quicker. Jack Kennedy is not FDR and he won't win four terms, plus he is healthy and not in a wheel chair with polio. Nixon tried to get Ike to pardon Dr. King which will boost black voters. And the cold war is not good for Nixon either, he is from California and Massachusetts is much closer to Europe. People think Jack Kennedy will start a war but many people still trust Pat Nixon

My goodness! How horrid! The president and his family will surely be in my prayers to-nite. He has lead our nation through such great ordeals. I fear his death could lead to a great undoing of his many accomplishments.

I should think not. Why must you insist the war continue to be some sort of ongoing matter? While there are indeed skirmishes ongoing with the lesser of the southern forces, the competitive phase of this war is now over and there is no reason why this attack on Lincoln should drive any sort of renewed support for the rebel cause.

How Al Gore Can Still Win The Presidency
« on: January 04, 2001, 06:01:36 AM»

A lot of Blue Avatars on this website are insisting the election is over given that Al Gore has already conceded the election to Bush. They're just missing the fact that Gore is playing 4D Chess, Democrats have a senate majority and Al Gore is in charge of the presiding over the certification ceremony he can simply substitute the republican electoral certificate with one sent by legitimate democratic electors.

Since the Democrats hold the senate the republican won't have the votes to decertify the democratic electors once Al Gore reads them out. Furthemore the democras will have a massive support from protestors outside who will be able to block enough republican congrescritters from coming to DC.

Do you all think that a City that gave Gore 85% of the vote is just going to let the Supreme Court Steal the election ?

Truly a senseless act since it won't affect the outcome of the Second American Revolution at this late date. The only possible good that might come of this is that a resurrection of the Whig Party is possible now rather than in a few years since Lincoln will be out of politics. We need something other than the existing parties down here, and let's face it, white Southrons will never vote Republican, so unless you Yankees want continuing tension down here in Dixie between the races, with a White Democratic Party and a Black Republican Party, the Whig Party needs to be revived, and something else needs to replace the Democratic Party, especially since that cur Johnson will be in charge. Better now than later.

This is so hilarious, the Nazis were popping champagne corks when Hitler won in July and the talk of an emerging Nazi majority was talked about back then. Weimar Coalition is returning the favor in Prez Hindenburg

Now, we are getting thread after thread, how Nazis are gonna beat down the Liberals In the govt formation, and Soc Dems are favored  for pickups in Prussia, Bavaria and incumbents should all be reelected and DDP is the only endangered party like USPD in 1924

Here go some display names if Talk Elections was a Spanish forum, at some unspecified point in the 1990s; including some quickly made fake Spanish avatars (I even had to make up a couple new colours!)

as someone who is rarely notable and unique enough to be featured in these kinds of things, i'm super flattered Smiley

if i were to join a spanish political party, i'd probably join podemos or psoe, but being an indy has its perks, especially as i don't know much about non-british european politics Tongue

Come to think about it, depending on what point of the 90s I would be thinking about (especially if it was 1996), a username of "Koopadaquick" would be quite weird given Super Mario 64 wouldn't be released in Europe until 1997 Tongue (not to mention the N64 flopped hard in Europe, Europe for the most part went from Sega to PlayStation and Nintendo never really had that much success)

Well that, and it's more likely that I'd call myself KoopaElRápido, assuming that I was a time traveller who got to play the N64 before it released. Maybe I'd name myself after a Super Nintendo character? Or perhaps a Genesis Mega Drive one? No sé. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Actually, most video games in the 80s and 90s were released in English only, including SM64 Tongue

Spanish language translations started being a thing in the late 90s. For example, the translation of Metal Gear Solid for example is recognized as great; while the Spanish version of Final Fantasy VII is broadly considered hilariously mistranslated one. For example routinely misgenders several main characters lol. (European) Spanish translations would not become the norm until the 2000s.

Yeah that's fair. I assumed that was the case as PAL games featuring multiple languages wasn't a thing until the 64, and even still, I doubt most games even had it. I just went off of Koopa's Super Mario Wiki article, although I doubted it would be correct as (a) it doesn't specify Latin American vs. European Spanish, (b) it didn't specify if this was the name from the N64 version of SM64, the DS version, or the Switch version, and (c) I remember playing a PAL N64 game once and saw the language select screen, although I only saw English, French, and German, with Castilian nowhere to be found.

And yeah, translations of old Japanese Famicom games can be pretty hit or miss, even back in the 80s and 90s when official translations were the only ones you could feasibly get for the most part, and they were definitely not safe from errors, "Bimmy & Jimmy" and "all your base are belong to us" are two classic examples that I can think of off the top of my head.
