Who would you have voted for in the presidential election of 1948?
 
I think it really depends on your career and financial situation at the time.

well Truman helped create the UN and Dewey was a "liberal republican" (aka communist) and voting 3rd parties is a waste of time that puts you on watchlists so I wouldn't have voted (just like I didn't in 2012)

Back then I think the democratic process was still working unlike it is today. I would have voted Truman, I am going to assume I was basing my vote off of being a citizen at the time, and not knowing what would come.

Let's get this on the bump train, we need more votes

I obviously didn't live in that era but looking at what had happened in history I'm happy that the person behind the Berlin airlift was the one who won. I can only imagine what would have happened had another president listened to the generals who suggested armored convoys with orders to shoot at anything threatening them.
