CanadianTory's Test Thread
The entryism itself isn't really what I'm curious about, more Day specifically (given his family's Social Credit roots) and the dynamic of the party forming a coalition with the NDP. -

CanadianTory's Test Thread
Very curious what happened here - Social Credit dying combined with the PCs being dominated by easterners leads to populist right-wing westerners leading a takeover of a weak Liberal Party seems like the obvious explanation, but the party then immediately forming a coalition with the NDP makes... -

The likely GOP presidential nominee in 2008 if Al Gore wins in both 2000 and 2004?
A lot of it depends on which Republican loses to Gore in 2004 and what type of campaign they run (do they lose as a moderate conservative? or do they lose after running a hard-right canpaign?). But if a War on Terror (or Gore’s equivalent at least) still happens and a moderate like McCain loses...- Word Count: 71

Alternate Wikibox Thread
Nader/Miller is a wild ticket but one that I can fully see happening given the relatively progressive nature of Zell’s populism circa 1992 IOTL. It’s a fun touch. -

Great infobox but that Wellstone picture feels very uncanny valley -

This is a nice touch - it’s perfectly believable, and like TLs that have Hillary Clinton stay in Arkansas it’d make him feel like a much different type of politician. -

"Hipster" Politicians Thread
Carol Browner, EPA Director throughout the Clinton administration, was in 2000 believed to be considering a political career in Florida, and throughout the 90s was seen as having solid political skills. Say she's elected to the Senate in 2000 or 2004, or, depending on the POD (Jeb gets elected...- Word Count: 150

"Hipster" Politicians Thread
I feel like people forget that Van Jones, before becoming a CNN mainstay, was a member of the Obama administration. With the right butterflies, it's not hard to see him making the jump into electoral politics, either as a left-wing Democrat or as a Green - there was brief speculation, after all...- Word Count: 64

"Hipster" Politicians Thread
Though she never ran for office, former Secretary of Labor Alexis Herman was a prominent figure within the 90s/00s Democratic Party, seen as a lock for a White House gig had Gore or Kerry won (most often rumoured as a possible Chief of Staff or Secretary of Commerce) and initially viewed as a...- Word Count: 100

Idea is that a slightly worse campaign causes Trump to lose Michigan and Pennsylvania to Clinton and Utah to McMullin, sending the election to Congress. Knowing a contingent election is inevitable, Republicans quickly devolve into infighting, with Washington Republicans openly lobbying Trump... -
