"People's Republic of America" sounds weird, and we did already have a Republican party that turned racist. Perhaps the People's Democrats? We've never had a Democratic party before.

Isn't "People's Republic of America" what you guys are shooting for anyway? I think the name would add some badassery to your guys' side of the aisle at least (in a sort of subtle way, IMO). People's Democrats could work, though I fear if you isolated it only to the term "Democrats", we'd end up in 2016 with the exact same left-wing party we have today (albeit, a few more points off-center, but you get the idea).

True, true. Is Zioneer down with People's Republicans or should we go with People's Party? Or should we head off in a totally different direction? The Farmer-Labor Party, perhaps?

Well, I don't want to use the name of any current real-life party, as I feel that it would be boring. I like the idea of a Reform Party, though I thought the Unionists (or at least Cassius Clay) were all for reform/anti-corruption?

Some kind of long-winded name that is commonly discarded in favor of a nickname (like the New Democratic Party of Canada and their nickname of NDP or "Dippers") might work.

Or Farmer-Labor, though I'm not quite sure where the three parties areas of support are. Something akin to the Nonpartisan Alliance might be interesting.
