1924 Uber-Convention

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

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?

It's a sad day when I'm considered to be on the "right." In any case, I was hoping for a Republican/Democratic "unity" ticket, perhaps with Senator Thomas Sterling (R-SD), the surviving Republican on the Overman Committee, as the Republican half.

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

Unfortunately, I think it's too late for that. One has been elected President, and we can't go back and retcon it. It would make no sense for the Socialists to simply stop being a viable political force in Atleftica. Hopefully some of this fanaticism will die along with Debs.

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

No it didn't.

At the very least, it changed the results of the 1916 Republican Primary, which by extension, changed the result of the general.

Don't be silly, Debs would have won anyway. Did you see his margin of victory?

Debs would have won anyway in 1920, sure, but I am referring to 1916, Roosevelt's victory in WWI. Roosevelt was nominated because of tactical voting by socialists, and since he went on to win the general, that means they changed the results of the election.
