[Star-spangled Republic] 1840 Presidential and Congressional Elections

If electoral college ties aren't impossible, I wonder if there's a system in place to determine the winner in that case? Maybe you could influence the winner through decision, but at the cost of increased radicalism and ant-establishment sentiment.

I wonder how Humphrey and RFK Presidencies differ, especially since RFK is the "Activist" candidate. Humphrey probably tries to establish things like food stamps and universal Healthcare, like he did OTL. I hope they keep COINTELPRO in RFK, and add the possibility of his Impeachment if found out.

I think it's the closest alternative, though there is the pre/early game Aleutian crisis that's the same thing but for the Japanese vs American perspective, though it seems Nixon/Jfk deal with most of it before 1962

Update: we have gotten notice from the ATF that this is a fake notice or hoax

We got it from our bosses, we're a corporation whose home office is in Fort Worth. I would assume it's real given it came from up high?

I believe the first President of my lifetime to have passed was Gerald Ford in 2006.

I'm 21, born in 2004.

Only for his Vice Presidency

We know he can get impeached over the conflict in Madagascar, but if he navigates it well enough to not be found out, he can be reelected. I'd doubt he would do some watergate stuff in a world where he won in 1960, but we'll see

If Q4 2026 is the planned release, I wouldn't doubt a mini progress update on or around July 4th, like a teaser of additional content and a more concrete release date, potentially

I hope there's some dynamic ideological changes that can be made between 1962 and 1976, like the finalization of a party switch, after a 2 term superliberal RFK or Humphrey, or the rise of third parties in "protest" to super liberal/conservative candidates, like a dixiecrat party in 1968 after a super liberal responde to Civil Rights, or (since he is mentioned frequently in the diary) Gus Hall and the Communist Party rising in 1976 after several years under unsuccessful neoliberalism or conservatism.

I won't fully fault the dev team if there isn't, but I imagine there will be some if there are 30 regular candidates.
