Nothing but Schadenfreude: A Test Thread

Very interesting. As always I'm asking from a place of ignorance when it comes to those states over yonder; but I was under the impression that Long was fairly anti-socialist, up to outright saying that his whole Share The Wealth schtick was more about preventing socialism than implementing it. How does that mesh with Farmer-Labor? Is Farmer-Labor that centre-leaning that it accepts that?
Part of what Wolfram said, but also, in 1935 Olson, of the FLP, was actually one of the names mentioned to be Huey's proxy candidate until Long died
 
The FLP's form of populist rural Social Democracy is also pretty well in line with Long's original Share our Wealth program, the primary difference between the Farm-Labs and Long's boys is their varrying degrees of support for wide spread public ownership and profit socialization*. in terms of things like land and wealth redistribution, public programs, anti-monopolism and so on the two groups are fairly well aligned.

*Also, for obvious reasons, race and racism

Quick scenario:

View attachment 29816
Dubya loses to Richards in 1994. It doesn't affect the '96 elections, but it does affect 2000. Jeb finally wins in '98, but Bush doesn't run again, and Richards narrowly slides into a third term. She runs in '00 against VP Gore and Senator Bradley, running a formidable campaign, but Gore manages to wins, and Richards ends up barely above Bradley in votes and delegates and is chosen as VP, a contentious pick, considering it was Mondale's play back in '84. The Republican primaries are chaotic, and many candidates end up winning primary states. Due to McCain's insistence that he stay in the race, it ends up being Dole v. McCain by the end of the primary season, despite the fact that he remains in fourth place by the time everyone else drops out. Dole narrowly wins a majority, avoiding a contested convention and picks Dancroft, a Midwestern Moderate to counter her own Conservativism. Throughout the campaign, Gore and Richards hit hard on Dole for being easily swayed on issues, for being weak, a Dole, etc and eventually win out, with a popular vote win of ~4% and are able to carry Texas by a fraction of a percent. You can give or take Florida. I may end up giving it to Gore, which would be 349-188
Why tf wouldn't Gore with TN?

the opposition just keeps losing huh :rolleyes::cool:

Did something happen between 1853 and 1857 that led to Van Buren being nominated and the Southern Rights party disappearing?

Van Buren being nominated happens because the Democratic Convention scraps the 2/3rds rule as some point, and Van Buren is able to portray himself as someone who wants to annex up to 54'40. Also, Weller just isn't great, and they need someone with high name recognition to avoid nominating him

As for the Southern Rights party, they were never that strong in the first place. They basically just stop winning states as it becomes clear expansion of Slavery in the West ain't gonna stop. Also doesn't help most SRP folks support Weller in 1856
