Buy The Political Machine 2020 PC key

The Political Machine 2020 is a strategy game about campaigning to win the 2020 US presidential election. You compete for voters across the country, aiming to secure the 270 electoral college votes needed to win. The simulation combines polling data, voter enthusiasm and recent US census results.

Candidates and ideologies

Choose from candidates including Democrats Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, Republicans Donald Trump and Mitt Romney, and other politicians such as John McCain, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mitch McConnell and Barack Obama. Each candidate has individual stats, including stamina, intelligence, charisma and media bias, as well as a distinct ideology tree that shapes how they play. You can also use the Candidate Workshop to create a candidate, customizing their stats, ideologies and design, or run as a wild card such as the Giant Meteor with unusual ideologies.

Campaigning for voters

Take part in Town Halls to earn ideology points, then spend them to claim issues. Bernie Sanders, for example, can take up “Medicare for All,” while Donald Trump can purchase “Build the Wall.” You can also attend Campaign Events and accept talk-show interviews to share your views on issues. Issue support is modeled separately for each state, so positions that work in Texas or California may hurt your campaign in Ohio or Florida. Pay particular attention to swing states and the issues their voters care about.

Campaign resources

Use your power and money to buy advertisements that discredit your opponent and influence voters. Ads work better when your supporters feel strongly about the issue they address. You can travel across the country to campaign and hire operatives to improve your public relations or undermine your opponent. Overspending may force you to seek money from a source that shakes voters’ confidence in you.

Events and standings

Breaking news, including torrid affairs, natural disasters and email scandals, can shift the campaign for better or worse. Poll tracking and leaderboards let you follow how players are doing with their candidates and which issues they support over time. The game is a complete rewrite of earlier versions, with improved graphics and a more sophisticated simulation.
