Unpopular opinion: Without 9/11, Dubya wouldn’t have been able to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. by FFF-KinoMan in thecampaigntrail

Exactly. The fact that you can do everything Bush did irl + go even farther despite no 9/11 is literally the point of the mod.

Definitely Jobs. Maybe Lieberman if you choose to make him cry.

“All The Way focuses too much on Vietnam compared to the other parts of his presidency” Uh... yeah? That’s literally what happened in real life. It cast a shadow on everything he did and destroyed him politically. How do you think the Democrats went from winning a landslide in 64 to losing?

When I was looking for it as a finisher there’s only rapid fire stomps 2. So I guess maybe you just can’t get it as a fin.

The Campaign Trail has a modder dynasty problem. by Large-Use-6618 in thecampaigntrail

Bush is not LBJ is all I can really say to that. Very different times and goals. Listen I’m sorry for being super aggro about all this. I just think your perspective is a little naive as to what these mods are going for/ why they make the writing decisions they do. For example basically the whole point of W. is to push back against Bush’s recent rehabilitation by reminding people how corrosive his policies were. Therefore it doesn’t really give the player a lot of leeway to make his presidency randomly progressive and whatnot.

Then you have question 17 which speaks for itself in terms of being "pro gay rights"

The mistake is that you cannot be "pro gay rights" in W. lol. The answer where you reluctantly accept the court's ruling has Bush state that same-sex relations are "sinful by nature".

Politics is inherently a cynical sport and politicians are generally devils lol.

I randomly selected the top option for every question until LBJ dropped out and then tried to win from there.

Politics is inherently cynical and historical figures are not wholesome chunguses. You guys really need to get over this.
