US Senate Democratic runoff in Texas, 1948

[RogueBeaver]

2 days. The hardcore Dixiecrat or the now severely conservative LBJ?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

LBJ

[windjammer]

LBJ

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Stevenson, but LBJ would have stolen the election anyway, just like he tried to do in 1942.

[H. Ross Peron]

LBJ

[Maxwell]

I would probably vote Republican or whatever other party, but seeing as that leaves me with very few options, LBJ seems slightly preferable to Coke Stevenson.

[TNF]

Would not vote

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Write-In Texas born Dwight Eisenhower.

[TDAS04]

LBJ

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Stevenson, though Johnson will surely steal it like IRL.

[Donerail]

Stevenson, though Johnson will surely steal it like IRL.

"Well, you know these negroes sometimes do those kinds of things that provoke whites to such action."
-Coke Stevenson on lynchings.

Please tell me more about how much you care about civil rights.

I probably wouldn't have voted in that primary IRL.

[MATTROSE94]

Probably Johnson, though he was basically a conservative Dixiecrat at the time.

Let's be honest here for a moment. It's almost impossible for us to place ourselves into these historical contexts and know what our mindset would've been at the time. 95% of the time, if you're raised by racists and indoctrinated into racism from a very young age, you will be a racist.
