I would have probably voted Reagan in 1984, much of the bad stuff wasn't done and/or realized until his second term.

Melvin Mason.

Fun fact: Mondale was the first Democratic candidate since the New Deal period to raise more money from corporate donors than from labor unions.

Voting for the CP after 1932 is basically voting Democratic anyway, so its not like it would be a real big difference.

Going from Communism to liberalism (in the us) is a pretty big difference. Why would voting CP be like voting democrat after '32?

Because from 1935 onward the CP tacitly supported the New Deal as part of the "Popular Front" policy, which basically said that you had to support the Democrats at any costs to prevent the election of an 'extreme Right' Republican. Sure, the CP ran candidates, but they were basically implicitly offering a message to 'vote for Roosevelt', in spite of a minor flip flop in 1940-41 before the Soviet Union got invaded by the USSR.

The modern CP is no different. It endorsed John Kerry in 2004 and has endorsed Obama in 2008 and in 2012.

I'm almost done with the series (you can check the original post for ones I did and didn't do). Spiral is working on an awesome hypothetical US election series. But explain what you mean by "stuff like this".

The hypothetical elections, I think they are interesting.
