<p>who would you vote for?</p>
<p>I dunno about the beginning, but I'd probably go John Quincy Adams when he ran. Then I'd probably go straight republican from 1860 to 1964 (except for 1912 when teddy Roosevelt ran as a progressive), and straight democrat from 1968 onwards.</p>
<p>not that i feel strongly or anything - i'm just testing some hypothesis out so that i might refute it later.</p>
<p>I’d do similar. However, I think I might vote for Woodrow Wilson, JFK, and LBJ. </p>
<p>I’d probably go for Jefferson.</p>
<p>I’d vote for you.</p>
<p>aww thanks ;)</p>
<p>Bull Moose till death.</p>
<p>Tippecanoe + Tyler Too.</p>
<p>Actually I don’t really remember enough APUSH to answer your Q…</p>
<p>I’m a woman :(</p>
<p>Involving frontrunners from early on (copy and paste), aside from elections involving Washington… Just add those if you really would of said otherwise.</p>

<p>lol I’m going to admit that Indian removal/invading Mexico were decisions that probably ultimately contributed to the long-term posterity of the US (and all the culture/technology/science with it). But those are actions that definitely wouldn’t be tolerated today. But there were definitely a lot of excesses in Indian removal (that weren’t even necessary), so I don’t think a lot of the harsh policies have helped with American posterity (but some of them still would have stil been inevitable since expansion would inevitably lead to some conflict). </p>
<p>in retrospect, I’d probably vote Polk if I was in that time (for that invasion and manifest destiny). I don’t think the invasions of Iraq/Vietnam/Afghanistan will contribute to that posterity though.</p>
<p>I’m not exactly sure. Definitely would’ve picked Gore at one point though.</p>
<p>My votes would be Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson, Madison, Madison, Monroe, Monroe, Jackson, Jackson, Jackson, Harrison, Harrison, Clay, Cass, Scott, Freemont, Lincoln, Lincoln, Grant, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Blaine, Harrison, Harrison, Bryan, Bryan, Roosevelt, Bryan, Roosevelt, Wilson, Cox, Davis, Smith, FDR, FDR, FDR, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Reagan, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and Obama.</p>
<p>I’m a black woman.</p>
<p>So tell me what year am I allowed to start voting again!</p>
<p>Hm, well, when did the popular vote start? And since I’m in Florida, I’m relatively certain my one vote could have tipped the balance for Gore! (just kidding, counting my vote would be unconstitutional in that one instance*)</p>
<p>*One time ruling, can never be used for legal precedent, ever</p>
