Meppo's Electoral Molehill

I’m guessing the Entente defaulting on there loans didn’t leave the healthiest economic situation for America.

at least he kept 'em out of war
I doubt they win any electoral votes though

Interesting list, McKinley living longer leading to ‘Roosevelt Delayed’ and this kind of mushy Progressive Conservativism/Corporatism emerging from both parties is fun.

Thanks!
Sort of - this tendency is more pronounced on the Republican side due to stronger Anglophile Atlanticist leanings (or would it be Pacificist after 1920?), and they're marginally less shitty towards African-Americans compared to IOTL, but overall speaking this evaluation is correct.

It does seem like a world where the Socialist party doesn’t immediately collapse due to a combined Anti-German and Red Scare and continues to pootle along on the local level in the Midwest in alliance with the NPL and Farmer-Labour folks...

That all being said, I also expect there to be shit ton of Coal Wars and the like across America...(Sid Hatfield for President).

Well folks being less shitty to African-Americans is nice, that all being said, I can sense that the forces the propelled the Klan to be revived, would probably come into force in time.

oh no doubt, that

first Southern President since 1848 but without pretensions of Anglophilia and foreign policy idealism

followed by newspaper mogul who once said that Mussolini was kinda cool and one of the main instigators of the First Red Scare

Oh definitely, it helps that the German Empire (more or less) wins here and continues to exist

Frankly speaking I considered having Allen be succeeded by this fellow

Actually Hearst is probably going to have continue political influence and power, because the causes he supported and the ideals he proposed are still influential...which isn’t good.

Ford is always a good one, though I do like the idea myself of Ole Hanson and William William McAdoo taking over Post Allen but are really just the meat puppets of Hearst and Ford at this point.

oh boi

Oh, I actually considered McAdoo being a major Democratic candidate as well, but he's likely not as relevant if he isn't in the Wilson administration, though he also likely doesn't get hit with the Doheny scandal ITTL. If he still continues a political career in the 1920s, then he'd be seen merely as a charismatic progressive maverick rather than a charismatic progressive maverick who saved America's economy.

Governor William Gibbs McAdoo :unsure:

An idea of sorts for the future of this world;

So Allen trundles along throughout 25-33 and does alright, though William Hale Thompson’s attempted convention coup in 28 and subsequent third party attempt does make some Republicans wary as they ponder what next. Discussions range from letting Henry Ford have a clear shot, Hoover having a go or just imposing one Roosevelt’s in, as Hale Thompson makes another run.

The Democrats fail in 28 with Jesse H. Jones as there choice, leading to the eventual ‘McAddo Movement’ seeing him possibly bridging the gap in 32’, this mainly being the work of Randolph Hearst, having become bored with being Mayor of New York but still wanting to be a big fella at the table. Though Charles H. Martin has other opinions on this.

Meanwhile the Socialists are pondering if Sid Hatfield is a good candidate to push for and Ole Hanson is planning to use the Bull Moose Party decaying apparatus for his National Party bid.

Oh also much of the Midwest is experiencing economic depression and Socialism and Social Credit take hold etc.
 
I don't publish current politics-relevant stuff here like some other test threads do but man


 
hopefully, seems like a good chap. and i have a soft spot for weird Left-Pop candidates lol

Arguably speaking, before the Moscow electronic vote margins was added (more than 10 hours after other EV-using regions had finished counting), Lobanov was the best-performing opposition candidate, leading his opponent by more than 10,000 votes

his opponent, incidentally, was political show host Evgeny Popov
 
sorry Oppo

2017-2025: Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin / Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida (Republican)
'16 def. Frm. Sec. of State Hillary Clinton of New York / Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia (Democratic)
'20 def. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont / Rep. Linda Sánchez of California (Democratic)
2025-present: Gov. Nikki Fried of Florida / Sen. Mahlon Mitchell of Wisconsin (Democratic)
'24 def. Vice Pres. Marco Rubio of Florida / Sen. Kelli Ward of Arizona (Republican)

Supreme Court of the United States as of January 30, 2025:
  • Chief Justice John Roberts | appointed by George W. Bush; 78-22 | 2005-present
  • Stephen Breyer | appointed by Bill Clinton; 87-9 | 1994-present
  • Samuel Alito | appointed by George W. Bush; 58-42 | 2006-present
  • Sonia Sotomayor | appointed by Barack Obama; 68-31 | 2009-present
  • Elena Kagan | appointed by Barack Obama; 63-37 | 2010-present
  • Amul Thapar | appointed by Scott Walker; 60-40 | 2017-present
  • Diane Sykes | appointed by Scott Walker; 57-43 | 2019-present
  • Don Willett | appointed by Scott Walker; 52-48 | 2020-present
  • Barbara Lagoa | appointed by Scott Walker; 54-46 | 2022-present
 

Though the resolution of the Venezuelan Civil War and the Cuban protests has brought the Walker administration much praise early on, by 2024 Rubio sensed that a lot of its voters might want someone with more domestic policy experience. Someone closer to home, so to speak.

Does she run in 2024 right after being elected governor in 2022? Definitely an underused figure - and after 6 years of Republicans the Democrats have an actual shot of winning FL

Uhhhhh, yes

maybe I should change it to Senator
