1820 Presidential Election

[Mechaman]

Well, it would depend on their views on suffrage.  If I lived back then it would probably be the most pressing issue to me personally, more so than whether someone prefers chattel slavery to wage slavery.  Like I commented before, John Q. (like his overrated father before him), as much as everyone likes to wank over his not owning any slaves, supported a system that was inherently pro-rich Anglo Protestant supremacy.  If he had ran in the 1840s when he was actively and adamantly abolitionist and had adopted a more populist stance on other issues, then yeah maybe I could see myself voting for him.  However, in the 1820s his defining ideology and stance was pro-rich nativist bastards, something I am not in favor of.  So yes, once more screw the Adams cult that exists on here.  Now, I don't know that much about James Monroe's views on the matter (though, given his reputation as the Ultra Moderate, probably not good enough) though I do think his presidency was kind of fake and gay and that the 1820 Missouri Compromise kind of sucked.

I guess I'm voting Abstain on this one.
