2016 with Utah's margins

417-115-6 Trump. The combined McMuffin + Johnson vote is more than Clinton.

The same election as above with all Trump voters removed. The Conservative-Libertarian alliance, known as the "Republican Party", defeats the Democrats 312-226. Gary Johnson (R-NM) becomes the Vice President under Evan McMullin (R-UT).

This is what would have happened had the Conservative and Libertarians failed to present a united front: a 420-118 slaughter. This reflects the margins in Utah between Clinton and McMuffin, but with a national stakes the Libertarians find united with McMullin's Conservatives to be the strategically best choice.

2008 with Obama and McCain votes all removed, re-imagined as a parliamentary election between Nader's Consumer's Party, Barr's Libertarian Party, Baldwin's Constitution Party, and McKinney's Social Justice Party. Also with a healthy dose of independent candidates.

Proportional results:

Consumer's Party: 204 Seats

Libertarian Party: 159 Seats

Constitutional Party: 55 Seats

Social Justice Party: 45 Seats

73 seats held by independent candidates.

[bagelman]

Same idea with 2004, although here I found a problem with the proportional representation system state-by-state: Badnarik, despite getting less votes than Nader, has a 201-184 seat advantage over him. Peroutka gets 64, Cobb 45, 19 seats for independents, and 9 seats for minor parties.

A solution is to reserve 2 EV per state for outright winners.

[bagelman]

365-173 via the proportional system

465-73 via WTA

Nader '00 vs Everyone else besides Bush and Gore combined '00.

1996 with all votes for Clinton, Dole, and Perot removed.

WTA: 298-216-24 Browne

However, Nader, once again, wins the PV here.

2016 with all Clinton, Trump, and Johnson votes removed.

Jill Stein/Ajamu Baraka (Green) 441 – green
Evan McMullin/Mindy Finn (Independent) 78 – light blue
Darrell Castle/Scott Bradley (Constitution) 9 – pink
Bernie Sanders/??? (Independent) 3 – yellow
No votes 7 – gray

Part 2 of my little unrealistic Dem hack dream TL. Let's just say…Al Gore managed the Iraq War really well so everyone was happy. Or something. Don't think about it too hard.

The Battle of the Party Switchers

Charlie Crist/Lincoln Chafee (D) – 259
John Neely Kennedy/Jim Justice (R) – 279

This one is a mess, 1992 with all Clinton/Bush/Perot votes removed.

Yellow is Marrou (Libertarian), Blue is Gritz (America First, also Populist), Green is Fulani (New Alliance), Orange is LaRouche, and Red is Other:

New York: Socialist Workers' Party

Iowa: Natural Law Party

Arkansas: US Taxpayer's Party

On top of that, WI is rounded up so it doesn't turn white.

There's no way that a country with results like this would use winner take all. In a parliamentary system, Marrou's Libertarians would end up in a coalition government, perhaps with US Taxpayer's.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

You'd think with no Presidential campaign, John Edwards would run for re-elex.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

2016:

Rubio/Haley: 411 EV, 55.4% PV

Clinton/Kaine: 127 EV, 43.3% PV

2020:
(Democrats decide their problem was that they weren't liberal enough)

Rubio/Haley: 524 EV, 60.0% PV
Warren/Jayapal: 14 EV, 38.2% PV
Massachusetts isn't called for weeks, and for most of that period, it looked like Rubio managed a 50-state sweep.

2024:
The Democratic ticket runs as "fiscally conservative, but socially liberal" (Charlie Baker-type politics)

Nikki Haley/Scott Walker: ~330 EV, 52.9% PV
Young Unknown Democrat/Ron Wyden: ~208 EV, 46.5% PV

2028:
The Democrats change strategy again, going with a socially conservative, economic populist model of two Democrats who became Republicans in 2017 and switched back in 2027 to run for president.
 This election follows a period of depolarization and a new conservative order, so there are tons of swing states:

John Bel Edwards/Joe Manchin: ~291 EV, 49.2% PV
Nikki Haley/Scott Walker: ~247 EV, 49.3% PV

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Won't Manchin be 81 in 2028?

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Won't Manchin be 81 in 2028?

I don't think that's too old to be Veep, if he's still in good health.
