X do you not want President La Guardia? Because that's basically the choice you're making here - him or Pinchot.
LaFollette wouldn't die in office, so why would Pinchot become President? Besides, I'd rather LaGaurdia be Mayor of NYC and then get picked by someone else for VP.
He dies in '25, Debs dies in '26.
If he LaFollette lost re-election, he'd die after his term ended. Honestly, the Bull-Moose ticket is far stronger and more appealing to me. You're free to vote for Debs, but I'm rooting for LaFollette this time around. Besides, Debs' best days were long behind him by this point IRL while LaFollette was still going strong. The only reason I can see to support Debs over LaFollette is party-line voting (since I usually vote Farmer-Labor) and that isn't enough for me. Beyond which, I would argue that (especially given that we're co-running this) it is kinda bad form for either of us to be lobbying people to vote for a certain candidate like this. People aren't under any obligation to support a candidate one of us supports and shouldn't be pressured to so. I'm not saying that was your intention, but I just don't want either of us to accidentally move into that direction.
