substantial constitutional change

That was the plan, yes. I was imagining the stress of reunifying with the remnants of the DPRK would have some unforeseen consequences for the ROK.

Makes sense - a presidential system would probably de facto favor the South over the North. (Arguably IOTL it already favors conservative Gyeongsang over liberal Jeolla…)

You know how in hypothetical romcoms, the female, hardworking but sensitive protagonist, being courted by a slice of human white bread, has an extremely stereotypical male gay friend?

I need a movie where the setup seems to be what I've laid out above but it's the human white bread falling for the stereotypical gay friend instead

Meanwhile, on a USpol forum, c. 2032:

So this is it. Brucie Wayne beating the "national security" drum until he breaks right through it and Gabbard flip-flop-flipping her way to the reactionary right.
God, what a mess 2032 is shaping up to be.

if Wayne still loses this i'm moving to croydon

Democrats are still leading in Florida. What

Just so we're very, very, very clear: "Bruce Wayne" is meant to be any random fictional character.

I still think you should change the name. I know it's not that Bruce Wayne but every single time I see it some part of my lizard brain expects some comicbook reference

[1] The vice-presidential tiebreaker vote of Kamala Harris allowed the Democrats to retain a Senate majority.
[2] The retirement of Angus King (and subsequent election of Jared Golden) would allow Democrats to "gain" Maine's senate seat despite King's decision to caucus with the Democratic Party; after her primary defeat in August, Senator Kyrsten Sinema would switch her party affiliation to "independent"; Democratic nominee Ruben Gallego would flip the seat in the November election.
[3] Due to the admission of the Douglass Commonwealth [i.e. Washington, D.C. excluding the Federal District] as the 51st state and its subsequent election of 2 Democrats to the Senate, Democrats would retain 54 seats.

> Wayne (insert any semi-progressive democrat willing to run their mouth a bit) enters the White House because 2024 proves to be a huge poisoned chalice
> Progressive governance happens
> Long Recession morphs into Second Depression
> The GOP surges as the economy goes under
> Unfortunately for Mitch McConnell's ghost, the GOP of the early 2030s is a jumbled mess, which allows Wayne to squeeze by in '32
> Gridlock plagues the US government for Wayne's last two years as the GOP finally retakes both houses
> The twin vipers of "isolationist" contrarianism and reactionary conservatism manage to retake power
> Fortunately, they're still terrible at their jobs
> As foreign policy returns to the front of everyone's minds, "peacenik" Russian apologia turns out to be horrifically unpopular
> Nirenberg wins as a Bidenesque moderate-liberal type

apparently Keir Starmer's wife works in the NHS

with that said, my description of Jon Ossoff as "Starmer (Away) Down-South (In Dixie)" rings surprisingly accurate
