I don't plan on having him do it as easily as he did for the previous four. You do notice he mentions that his relationship with LBJ deteriorated.

Rammstein are fiercely anti-Nazi and their worldview was shaped by their members growing up in the totalitarian shithole that was East Germany. They'd likely be underground, subject to harrassment (like Feeling B and... whatever that other pre-Rammstein band was) and even more outspoken about...

Perot actually quit the race for a while before reentering, and during that entire time Clinton stayed in the lead in every poll. It's not far-fetched to say Clinton would've won even without Perot, especially if he performs exactly the same in the debates.

That's a good question considering I didn't plan on him dumping Humphrey.

No, to be honest, I haven't.

If you have any, yeah. I have a definite idea of where this goes on the short-term, but I'll see if I can work in the extra stuff. I'm no AH expert, after all. Other people likely know more than me.

I have to admit that doing at least the basic background reading for this, I've also become convinced that, Vietnam aside, he was a great president. Now I have to put extra effort into making the timeline hellish so as not to be accused of wank. :D

Thank you! I was a bit unsure as to a specific POD, but that was the first idea I got and I decided to roll with it. Especially since it allows for snarky jokes later on. Thanks, Dan! It's surprising how the brief glimpses seem dead on when I wasn't able to do too much research for the first...

The 1968 Democratic primaries Early 1968 was a bad time to be Lyndon B. Johnson. It didn’t have to be this way. After all, Johnson had been the president who had the great luck of being in office as the United States economy had accelerated from prosperity to an outright economic boom, and...

I know. What I was thinking of when that sentence came out was how Gore got more popular votes.

The essay's now lost, but Adam was suggesting that Clinton would've had an easier time condemning/defusing the violent rhetoric in the aftermath and gaining popular support.

I nabbed this idea from an old essay by Adam Cadre, but I'm making it a WI because right now I'm busier concieving another timeline. Let's say the 22nd Amendment never gets passed. Eisenhower refuses to run for a third term due to health concerns, Nixon resigns because of Watergate and Reagan...

Billy Corgan had writing credits. Michael Beinhorn produced Celebrity Skin.

I think it was "Debaser". "Tame" sounds nothing like "Smells Like Teen Spirit", though Kurt did do his best Black Francis on "Hairspray Queen".

That wasn't the basis for the Soviet Union, man. The Soviet Union was a totalitarian state capitalist shithole that tried to pass itself off as communist when it was nowhere near.

And Kurt Cobain admitted that he was actually trying to rip off The Pixies, specifically "Debaser".

Okay then, I guess I am going to be making a thread about this after all. Here's hoping it doesn't turn out bad.

Live Through This is my fave Hole album, but I have to disagree here. LTT abuses the whole quiet verse-loud chorus formula a bit too much for me to think it's better than Nirvana, who at least had some variety beyond the usual Pixies dynamics. Plus, Dave Grohl was a better drummer than Patty...

Fix the muddy, bad production of Pretty on the Inside. Bring it closer to the clear but grungy sound of Bleach.

Just to clarify though: I'm not going to stop at the 1968 election. Hopefully as much as my knowledge can help, I'll go beyond as well.
