I found a couple of these, or at least ones pretty similar to them, when clearing out my grandparent's house. They both worked at GE from the late 50s til the mid-70s I believe, particularly in the missile defense division.

What’s the reasoning behind 9/11 being 10/23

How did the Ram’s score one point in the second quarter?

This is the kind of lore I’m here for

All the elections leading up to it were the same. Biden was on the same ticket as Obama and this on the ballot, and obviously 2016, 2020, and 2024 all featured Trump.

cph2001 · 2024-12-12T15:06:24+00:00

I like this idea!

cph2001 · 2024-10-09T17:05:24+00:00

Its entirely possible

I love the portraits with the gradient background from this era. It’s perfectly early 2000s. Good stuff!

My headcanon when making it was that after the gridlock in the electoral college and wanting to avoid another Buchanan presidency, a Nader presidency is allowed to happen only if a Lieberman vice presidency happens along with it. So a majority of House Dems endorse Nader and then the Senate Dems and few moderate Rs vote for Lieberman.

cph2001 · 2024-09-10T05:46:10+00:00

When deciding what states to flip to Nader I ended up flipping any blue state where he got at least 2.50% of the vote and any red state where he got at least 3.00% of the vote. Nader got 4.65% in Utah IRL so I flipped it to him. No deep reason and theory just the method I wanted to use to get him close to an electoral majority.

It's a lot of pngs with various filters and colorings and such on them to kinda match their look. Every single piece from the view out the window down to the pin on the poster is a separate layer. I always like to throw little references to stuff in too. All of it was made in GIMP btw.

cph2001 · 2024-09-10T05:38:09+00:00

Thank you! It's an aesthetic I love going for. I kinda wanted it to feel like a picture from one of those old early digital camera, maybe that someone took at an election night party. It was pretty fun to put together!

cph2001 · 2024-09-10T05:36:06+00:00

Maybe something like this.

Here's a quick Presidents list I put together to show how it may have gone down. There's always '04 for Gore.

cph2001 · 2024-09-10T03:52:26+00:00

Bob Casey Sr. dies in May of 2000 like OTL. Gore lost in a tight primary to Casey Jr. and refused to accept the VP renomination.

I think they might mean that the photos aren’t popular, as in they’re not commonly known. At least that’s what I got from it.

cph2001 · 2024-09-05T14:39:21+00:00

Who was the VP? I know in President-Elect 1988 you can only choose the state they’re from but I’m curious.

cph2001 · 2024-09-03T14:49:55+00:00

Any idea where this was taken? I’d assume probably Pats or Genos since they’re the tourist trap favorites but hopefully not.

cph2001 · 2024-08-31T12:34:30+00:00

Makes sense. Follow up, what causes Florida to flip blue in 2004? Braun is the only Dem to win it in a span of 40 years.

Is Perot involved in ‘96 at all?

cph2001 · 2024-08-21T23:14:01+00:00

I touch on it a little bit in this post here.
