Unlike some people, I don't ballot for corporate toadies because like, the other guys are sooo boring, omigod.

Hey, I'm going to go right back to the Populists next election, I just think that there should at least be an interruption in the dominance of the Populists. Plus, it's a fictional election game.

Exactly. If this were real life, I would be proudly casting my vote for the Populists in every election, as I expect most forum liberals would. The thing is, though, that if we do that here we're going to run out of progressive causes by 1950 and every post-WWII election will essentially be Bland Progressive A vs. Bland Progressive B. Like Zioneer said, it's not like electing Cleveland in an internet game is actually going to hurt anyone.

yes, but it's also a matter of "One party rule" vs "perennial loser" vs "regional party"...any realism here is gone anyway. A Stevenson nomination would've been a good turner,...but heck if that was gonna happen.

So yeah, no point in voting any other way than genuine  when faced with something like this.
