1924 Uber-Convention

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Bleh, these choices; why isn't Oscar Underwood included

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Vote LaFollette to keep Debs from getting renominated!

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Cathcon, I want Sen. Lee Overman (D-NC)/Rep. Alexander Mitchell Palmer (D-PA) on the ballot on the Anti-Socialist Party ticket.

Seconded, though I wish the standard bearer for anti-communism in this era was someone better than Lee Overman.

Does the "right" of Atleftica truly want their vote split three ways?

The left has had its vote split four ways on occasion and we've done fine.

Underwood and Marshall losing is hardly the left doing fine.  Debs is alright, but not the way he was elected.

So if there's a four-way split and only one can win, the fact that the other three didn't win means the whole thing's doing badly? We've had 36 consecutive years of leftist Presidents, X.

Just saying it could be better.

Do you mean more leftist, as in a four-, five-, or even six-term Debs Presidency?

I mean as in not soiling Debs good name with such shameful dirty tricks.  Let the man win or lose with dignity and stop ruining the TL by forcing Cath to use jungle primaries.

Are you in favor of taking away our right to vote in other primaries then?

Nope, just yours Seatown

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

In Socialist Debsian America, I think the KKK would be even stronger than in real life.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Can we have a united ticket to go up against the Soviets Socialists? 

As in a Republican and a Democrat or this Overman/Palmer thing that's being bandied about?

I mean like as in times where one party decided to endorse another party's candidate in order to put up a united opposition against the party in power.

As tempting as that may be, I fear I would be too active in my role as this thing's manager if I were to lop together a two-party ticket.

I think you should run a national poll concurrently with 1924 election asking voters whether they want a unified anti-socialist ticket in the future for 1928(against Norman Thomas or Debs VP)

No, if anything get rid of the Socialists altogether.  They have wrecked the economy, elected T.R., kept Underwood out of the white house and generally made the timeline a less fun experience.  Their tactics have been awful and it has turned Debs into Nixon, ethically speaking.  Sad to see the once great man brought so low

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

You guys are ridiculous. You're making such a fuss about one or two people voting tactically.

It changed the results of at least two elections
