1952 United States Presidential Election

[Kitteh]

Four more years!

Also, it seems the Democrats are again collapsing into third-party status. What an interesting timeline, I definitely did not expect it to go this way.

Not-so-secret left-wing meeting for the future: What do you guys think about having JFK in 1960 with Humphrey as his VP, then Humphrey 'til 1972, then Eugene McCarthy 'til 1980, then Ted Kennedy. Would that not be amazing?

And Sinclair '52, then Hoopes or Hoan '56. We can have the Democrats shift leftward and assimilate the Socialists.

Better idea; we'll stick with the Socialists, have Sinclair win this election, then Hoan from 56-64, then A. Philip Randolph from 64-72, then elect Bayard Rustin Atlamerica's first gay president in 1972. Then we can have Anderson from 80-88 for some ideological diversity. Harold Stassen can finally get his chance from 88-96, followed by the four-term presidency of Ralph Nader from 96-2012.

We've got to compromise somewhere, Drj (or is it Dr. J?). The minute we start nominating nobodies, the party dies. Hoan and Hoopes are the last even somewhat big names left, and I'd like to see the Socialists off on a high note before the Great Democratic Hegemony begins.

Maybe, but this TL has a way of surprising us. The Great Democratic Hegemony has always seemed to be just around the corner (accompanied by The Inevitable Socialist Decline), but then it doesn't come. So idk when it finally will, if ever.  ¯\(°_o)/¯
