Most Insufferable Election Ever

Neoliberal: CEO Jeff Bezos (NL-WA)/Fmr. CEO Travis Kalanick (NL-CA)
Reactionary: Pres. Donald Trump (R-NY)/VP Ted Cruz (R-TX)
#RESISTANCE: Sen. Tulsi Gabbard (#-HI)/Gov. Ana Kasparian (#-CA)

"Why Jeff Bezos will be the most progressive president ever - he will free capitalism!"
"#MAGA! Trump is doing a good job! #trump2020!"
"This is why Prime Minister Modi is part of the #resistance"

OTL Presidents in Three's A Crowd

Thomas Woodrow Wilson
Populist, from New Jersey
Secretary of State from 1917 to 1921 after Bryan resigned. Came up with the "League of Nations" that, although never implemented, would prove the base for the future Concord of Nations. Also remembered for the frankly weird "Weekend at Tommie's" situation where he died in 1920 but everyone thought he was still alive due to the manipulations of his wife and he "officially" died in 1922. Truth was found out in 1983 and proved the inspiration for the film which dealt with a President dying over the weekend and everyone has to pretend he's still alive for national security reasons

Warren Gamaliel Harding
Republican, from Ohio
1920 candidate for the Presidency, lost to Leonard Wood, but put in as Secretary of the Interior. Fired in 1924 when his affair with Nan Britton was revealed due to a very nosy investigator leading to a huge scandal. Died in 1927, having just got around to acknowledging his illegitimate daughter

John Calvin Coolidge Jr.
Republican, from Massachusetts
Hoover's vice-president from 1929 to 1931, died in office and led to a moment when Populist Speaker John Nance Garner was seen as plotting an impeachment and removal of Hoover from power so to seize power himself. Didn't happen, but there was clear thinking about it

Herbert Clark Hoover
Republican, from California
President of the United States from 1927 to 1933, having been VP from 1925 to 1927. Oversaw the Great Depression and was swept out of power

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Republican/National Unionist, from New York
President of the United States from 1941 to 1945, elected on a Rep/Dem fusion ticket called the "National Union Party". Was once a Democrat, but left the party due to massive disagreement with Hearst and the "socialist trend" the party took in the 1920s. Died in office in 1945

Harry S. Truman
Populist, from Missouri
Governor of Missouri in the 1940s, floated as a possible Secretary of the Interior in Wallace's second cabinet since he was "Wallace-sympathising" even if he did leave NUP in favour of his old party, but the position went to a Democrat instead

Dwight David Eisenhower
Republican, from Kansas and Pennsylvania
President of the United States from 1953 to 1961, before that was a top-ranking WWII general who was beloved by the people. As president, he was somewhat ineffective even if prosperity came to the country, it was characterised by rising social tension. Still remembered positively

John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Populist, from Massachusetts
His father Joseph P. Kennedy was once a firm Hearst Democrat, but as FDR and Wallace took the party internationalist, he spoke out against them and brought the family into the Populist Party. The New England Populists was basically founded by the Kennedys. "Jack" himself was Senator from Massachusetts [defeating a Republican] and was one of the loudest Populists calling to close the missile gap. Secretary of State under LBJ, he's widely remembered as the "other face of the Missile Crisis" due to his firm backing of the Chinese and calling for the country to unite behind it. Reviled by the New Left and by the Dems as "thinking he's King Arthur and the Soviets will fall to Excalibur"

Lyndon Baines Johnson
Populist, from Texas
President of the United States from 1961 to 1969, he's remembered mainly for the Chinese Missile Crisis, for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and for his intensely ambitious "Big Society". A complicated man, he's remembered fairly positively those days

Richard Milhous Nixon
Republican, from California
President of the United States from 1969 to 1974. Remembered mainly for three things - His deeds exposed by Operation Washbucket, implementing AHPA and for shooting himself on live television to an audience of millions. Mainly the last one

Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr.
Republican, from Michigan
Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1971 to 1975, he oversaw the House investigation in Operation Washbucket and is remembered as a firm but fair man who responded to the unprecendented series of crises rocking US politics well

James Earl Carter Jr.
Populist, from Georgia
President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, he was someone who was dragged back by his changing party that was moving away from the Big Society and towards a more centrist rural populism tinged with social conservatism, and had many faction infighting as a result, leading to party disclipine being at its lowest. Remembered as a good, God-fearing man who ultimately was brought down by events beyond his control. After his presidency, he grew a close friendship with new President Robert Redford

Ronald Wilson Reagan
Democrat, from California
A B-movie actor who managed to hit the "big time", he increasingly took on more "elder" roles and would be seen in many movies as the old mentor leading to a joke "If Reagan is there, listen to him, his character's never wrong", and this led to more reverence for his real-life persona, especially as he revealed that he joined the Democratic Party in 1932 due to listening to Upton Sinclair's call for more charity and compassion. But overall not that political even if he proudly endorsed Senator Robert Redford in 1980 and President Redford in 1984

George Herbert Walker Bush
Republican, from Connecticut
John Connally's vice-president from 1974 to 1977 and 1980 Republican nominee, he is remembered mainly for describing Senator Redford as a "snake-oil salesman selling you voodoo politics" in the second debate which got some laughs from the Senator, completely neutralising Bush's attack

William Jefferson Clinton
Populist, from Arkansas
President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. The "greatest of the Dale Bumpers Populists", he is mainly remembered for dealing with two major crises well and many still remember his firm speech after the CSA attacked several schools - "This is not a time of bigotry, of division or of fear. This is a time where all Americans must come together as one and say to those murderers that their beliefs is not welcome in America". Remembered well, even if his actions during #MeToo in the early 2010s left many saying "erm, what the fuck"

George Walker Bush
Republican, from... Mars?
Ah, who can forget George Bush Junior, the first man to step foot on Mars? Sure, sure you could argue that his astronaut career, while still spectacular, was mainly pushed along by his father's influence, but his words still remain with us today as he gave his life for discovery and knowledge and as President Clinton's speech reminds us, there is "some corner of another world that is forever mankind"

Barack Hussein Obama II
Democrat, from Hawaii
Governor of Hawaii from 2006 to 2014 and Senator from 2016 forth, he's remembered as a charismatic man who many talked up as a possible 2016 candidate but decided to step aside in favour of Klobuchar. Obama 2020 is still very much talked about

Donald John Trump
One Nation, from New York
Billionaire, independent candidate in 1992 and much talked about possible candidate in every election since, he've set up "Donald Trump's One Nation" in 2017 which has gotten lips moving about a possible Trump 2020 run. But who knows, maybe he'll decide not to yet again

Two things today...

Examplia
This is a deliberately generic start to encourage you to go wild with party names and all. The year you start? Doesn't matter. The colours you pick? Don't matter. The flavour of leader names you want? Don't matter. But here's a few guidelines I offer to help you out if you want your own Examplia
- Start with two parties - One and Two. Whatever ideological things you read in them are up to you
- Further parties can continue this numbering too, like Three - The Real Alternative or Socialist Four, it's up to you. You can be creative!
- Further parties can decide to not follow this and you are of course, encouraged to be fun with party names both numbered and not
- The original parties can be renamed, like TWO.The Liberals and splitters can keep the original number, like One (Secular). Creative time!
- The original parties, I would recommend you keep the number around in some way, but it's less a rule more a general principle I like to have
- The outer world should be somewhat vague, just to keep the whole "generic as fuck place" feel going, but if you put Examplia [or whatever you decide to call it] in a clear world context, that's fine, those rules are more guidelines, you are welcome to reject one, few, most or all of them
 
Gwlad Beirdd a Chantorion, Enwogion o Fri

When Mark Drakeford won the 2018 Labour leadership election, it was clear that his aim was to drive Welsh Labour closer to Labour's superstar, Jeremy Corbyn. While this enabled him to pick up some seats to get Welsh Labour back to a majority in 2021 as Theresa May's Brexit proved harmful to Britain as a whole, it would prove his doom

Under Adam Price, Plaid Cymru drove itself on a much more passionate, much more radical line. With Price's working-class background as the son of a coal miner, he fought to continue Wood's aim at "cracking" the Welsh Valleys - the bastion of Welsh Labour. But in 2021, he only managed to win 14 seats. A clear improvement, but still disappointment. But he did drive Plaid to second place benefiting off the woes of the Tories

When Corbyn won a majority in 2022, Mark Drakeford unhesistantly declared that Welsh Labour was "behind our Prime Minister 100%". And at first, this seemed like it was a wise decision, after all Wales voted for Corbyn's Labour by a strong margin. But as the Brexit recession continued to dog Britain and Corbyn became more and more unpopular, the Tories under Tom Tugendhat gained a lead that would hold. Meanwhile in Wales, Mark Drakeford's pledge would bite him hard as it was used extensively in Plaid campaign literature to portray Welsh Labour as merely "Corbyn's puppet"

When the Northern Ireland situation worsened with years and years of no responsible government, Corbyn entered in negotiation with Leo Varadkar that ended up with Varadkar laughing Corbyn out of the room and leaks suggested that Corbyn would approve a border poll. This angered unionists in Northern Ireland and while Britain as a whole didn't care about NI, the "patriotic working class" demographic did. And they were appealed to by the military man Tom Tugendhat who pledged to "fight for Britain, non stop". And in Wales, well, it helped the Tories, but mainly by embarrassing Labour

Much more persistent, was the rumours that in exchange for the SNP voting for several of his more... controversial bills, that he would approve a change in the funding formula to give more money to Scotland. Mark Drakeford's warning to Corbyn to "not forget Wales" came across as desperate, while many increasingly felt like Labour did not stand for Wales any longer. And who would? Well, there was this loud, passionate socialist leading a Party of Wales that certainly would. And so in the few polls that people bothered to do for the Assembly, Labour went down, Plaid went up

But Wales has voted Labour for a century! There was to be a steep hill if Adam Price or David Melding was to shatter it. The Welsh Tories' new leader was their most prominent "intellectual", the ideas man for many Welsh Tory policies. And he hammered home that even though Tugendhat and the national Tories were popular, that the Welsh Tories would do Welsh Tory policies, not national Tory policies. Some in his party fretted that this would fritter away a possible victory by disassociating Welsh Tories with national Tories. But Melding held firm

The last poll before the impact had Labour on 28%, Plaid on 25% and Tories on 23%. Not bright for Drakeford, but still with a lead. But then... it happened. The British economy, always stagnant due to Brexit, crashed once more. Corbyn turned to McDonnell, and McDonnell responded rather unorthodoxly. The Labour Party signed off on a new budget that sought to, while still punishing the banks, reduce the deficit even more and pay off the national debt. The backlash was considerable. The Pirate Party surged to 2% of the vote as the "more left than McDonnell" vote grew. As Corbyn spoke to the left, people saw McDonnell as holding the purse strings and firmly looking at balancing the budget, and they didn't like what they saw

Mark Drakeford was caught in a bind. With national Labour suddenly embracing "fiscal responsibility" rhetoric, his firm view that Welsh Labour would do what national Labour would do persisted and he put forward a budget that would focus on ensuring that the deficit would be reduced. This led to protests from his side as more "independent"-minded people like Vaughan Gething condemned the move, arguing that instead Welsh Labour should focus on improving social services instead of the deficit. The man elected as the most radical leader has became the most conservative

And then the elections came. Drakeford, aware of his budget's unpopularity, argued that it was only temporarily and that spending on social services would increase shortly, that it was mainly Plaid and Tory spin that made it look as bad as it was. With Adam Price's energetic campaign and Plaid gaining with disillusioned radical-left voters, Mark's shift to try to persuade them to come back made him seem weak and alienated moderate voters to David Melding and the Tories' soft-spoken campaign that pledged for "sensible policies for a safe Wales"

In the end a very high turnout of Welsh voters went to the polls and...
1539956040398.png
History was made

Welsh Labour, by being too radical for the moderates and too moderate for the radicals, imploded. Valleys seat after Valleys seat turned green. Or in some cases, blue. The Lib Dems under Joe Carter gained and won three more seats, while thanks to a high regional vote in South Wales Central, David Elston won a seat for the Pirates. David Melding drove the Tories to their highest amount of seats yet, cementing his "Welsh Conservatism" as the leading principle of the party. Humiliating for Welsh Labour, Mark Drakeford lost his own Cardiff West seat to a Plaid challenger

And the man of the hour, Adam Price, emerged victorious. Sending Plaid to its highest percentage yet and managing to win a dizzying million voters for his radical firebrand nationalism, the future of Wales was his​
 
The creature gurned at the flashing cameras all eager to capture it in its inhuman majesty

The creature held the lectern awkwardly yet confidently. The creature's body was not used to this

The creature's half-human brain whorped as its eyes blinked to adjust to the blindening light

Millions of people were gazing at it in praise of their glorious Leader, who would save them all from unimaginable horror

In anticipation, they leaned forth as its wide mouth opened and came out...

"Thank you America! The future will, thanks to you, be one of progress instead of stagnation, one where we face the future and not reject it!"

Jeffrey Preston Bezos, the president-elect and soon to be 46th President of the United States of America savoured victory

1540167012692.png

America has rejected the horror of a second Trump term. But they were soon to cry out and be silenced

For the inhuman offspring of an eldritch abomination would not have mercy on them

America was once said to be the "belly of the beast" of capitalism. Now that would be more true than ever...

Dems: +7, -1. Total: +6
Reps: +5, -9 (-10?). Total: -4 (-5?)
Pops: +5, -6. Total: -1

So basically this was just a shit election for the Republicans, as Rubio's suburban Populism cut deep within their base, while the Dems rallied against Rubio and gained back seats they lost in 2012. However, the gubernatorial elections would be... different. For you see, the Dems mainly ran a national campaign, focusing on Rubio, his isolationism and how he was ruining America while Republicans managed to hold up better away from a national audience since Rubio's suburbanism haven't spread to all of the Populists quite yet...

In gubernatorial elections, the Republicans weathered the storm better thanks to popular candidates and more Dem splitting, as well as some state Populist parties not quite fully "Rubio" yet and so not getting his coat-tails. Such as in New York when Governor Scaramucci lost to John Catsimatidis

In recent news of Three's A Crowd...

SENATOR OJEDA ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
The loud West Virginian Senator has loudly condemned Rubio's perceived "moderation" on economic issues and has declared "when is he going to give a damn about people outside his suburbs?". Declaring that "America needs a better choice" and cloaking himself fully in the legacies of Huey Long and Lyndon Johnson, he has loudly started his campaign. Polls have suggested that he would net 20% of Populist support already...

GOVERNOR AVENATTI ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
In a shock to Californians, their Governor who they just gave a thumping landslide victory to, was arrested in suspicion of domestic violence. The police has confirmed this, but has said it is an ongoing investigation. Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lee will take the position as Acting Governor for as long as Avenatti is in custody, or up until Avenatti resigns. This has, in many people's eyes, doomed "Avenatti 2020" as he was the front-runner...

A surprising outcome, but one that proved true as the National Union picked up a Senate seat in Texas

1542269720566.png
Meanwhile, the recounts in Florida are ongoing for the governorship. A three-party system makes for even more unpleasant recounts
