Your Dad vs. Your Mom.

[Sirius_]

Mom-Social: Mostly left but pro-death penalty. Economic: On the fringes between Centre-Left and Left-Wing, Environmentalist. Foreign Policy: Diplomatic but firm, not pro-Israel, anti-Russia. Home State: None really.
Dad-Social: Slightly left but strict on immigration. Economic: Pretty far right but in favor of information privacy and security. Foreign Policy: Unknown. Home State: New Jersey.

Mom/Cory Booker
Dad/Rand Paul

[Dr. MB]

Mom: socially liberal, fiscally too, hates Trump. Registered D.
Dad: moderate Democrat, supports gun control and opposes illegal immigration, doesn't like Trump, but doesn't like Hillary either.

Both support marijuana legalization (dad more than mom), and gay marriage (mom more than dad).

Neither are what I'd call political material, but I think my dad would be the "conservative" candidate here, and he'd be able to win over some moderate Democrats as well.

Dad/Bob Casey: 319
Mom/Elizabeth Warren: 219

My dad wins Oregon because of home state factor (he's a native resident).

[RC]

Dad (IR-CT)/Sen. John Kasich (R-OH) (Yellow): 292 Electoral Votes
Mom (ID-CT)/Gov. Hunter Biden (D-DE) (Lime green): 246 Electoral Votes (Wins Popular Vote)

Dad
Aerospace Executive (1992-Present) - runs as a moderate-Independent Republican, leans right economically, Socially right and is in favor of interventionism. Runs with an economic moderate (Kasich) and appeals to states that are known for big business, thus winning Michigan and narrowly New York. Loses all debates due to bad temper and scandals, resulting in losses in Ohio and Illinois, the two home states of the candidates.

Mom
Former Medical Executive (1998-2002) - runs as an overall liberal, socially and economically, but is also an interventionalist. She campaigns on helping the less fortunate people, support of minorities, and religious values. A campaign in the south is almost successful after Dad makes gaffes about them and unflattering comments about the citizens in those states, but is ultimately overtaken by the conservative vote. She wins Iowa, Montana, and Alaska out of protest of some of Dad's policies on further industrialization and environmental stances. (I would support her campaign)

Closest states: NY, MI, OH, GA, VA, NC, FL

Something like this, 287-251 Dad.

Dad badly underpreforms in the deep south for being a pro-choice Catholic, but whenever Mom visits she complains about how humid it is without convincingly increasing black turnout. Dad is a good candidate for fiscal conservatives (this is assuming his fiscal views haven't also evolved) and overpreforms in California. He wins NM by at least 5 points.

Been a while since I've seen Dad, but I think he's far more of a people person than Mom. Dad's views are his own while Mom's views are heavily influenced by my own. For this reason this map might be biased towards Mom, but Alaska was no mistake.

Mom (DEM)- Overall left winger who is slowly turning socialist thanks to her Trotskyist sci-fi author friend. She is extremely passionate about healthcare due to her work with children that suffer from Spino-Muscular Atrophy (SMA). She says she "Makes insurance companies bleed nickels and dimes" for a living.
Dad (IND-REP)- Pretty much the same, slightly more conservative. Once said Trotsky was a man of the people. He will say weird stuff at times (especially if he gets drunk), and would likely have some major gaffe during the campaign. He's thinking of running for the head soil and water conservation commission in our county as a Republican, because people vote straight ticket so much. He works as a tire designer at Michelin.

Volunteer Worker Mom: 384 EV
Tire Designer Dad: 154 EV
A major gaffe happens at some point, allowing states with some swing to go to Mom and win her the election. Dad is still the more conservative option, and if he runs as a republican he'll get a lot of straight ballot votes.
A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS!
Godfather (IND): More moderate, my opinion managed to swing him to Sanders in the primary. His family has a long history with socialism in the US, and he has high name recognition. (His uncle was Harry Chapin, if you don't know who that is, look him up.) Not a conservative by any stretch, but is the most conservative of the three. My mom's friend, who i'm named after. He doesn't do much nowadays, i'll just call him a "Political Analyst", because he appears up to date with most political events.
He has a website, you can check it out if you want: http://jdchapin.com/

Political Analyst Godfather: 243 EV
Volunteer Worker Mom: 234 EV
Tire Designer Dad: 61 EV

House elects my Godfather, due to him being the most moderate of the three, with only a few representatives voting for Mom, and maybe 1 voting for Dad.

[Lechasseur]

Not sure. I don't think it would fit an electoral map well. My mom was a socially conservative economically liberal democrat while my dad is a fiscally conservative socially liberal democrat.

I suspect my mom would win. My Dad would win New England, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New Mexico, and the West Coast I think while my mom would win the rest.

411: My Mother/Nicholas Sawark
127: My Father/Evan McMullin


My mother is a libertarian who doesn’t claim to have any understanding of economics; whereas my father is a neoconservative who would probably compromise on most issues except for foreign policy. She was a labor and delivery nurse, and he is an officer in the army who has ran several congressional and statewide campaigns.

[bagelman]

My votes:

retromike: I might go for his mom if she supports gay marriage.

Celticempire: His mom

Hatman: His mom, who would do better than he arrogantly thinks. The results he guesses are based on propaganda and lies from the corrupt canadian media.

Grump: His mom by default I assume.

MormDem: His dad. LOL at Wyoming voting for an atheist.

Cathcon: probably his mom

TJ: His mom

Wulfric: probably along with popular vote

politicus: Her dad, although appears less competent on the campaign, isn't anti-gay marriage (dealbreaker)

Goldwater: depends on my mood that day

DC Al Fine: dunno

TNF: His mom

Mr. Illini: His mom

DFL: His/her dad

ExtremeRepublican: His Dad.

Ninja0428: His mom for being environmentalist

MB: His dad, assuming the election isn't about economic issues.

ReaganClinton20XX: Neither appeals to me politically, but I'm sure they're both nice people.

SamTilden2020: His/her mom.

bagelman: My mom, half her views are mine anyway.

weatherboy1102: Both sound excellent. I could his dad being relatively popular in my neck of the woods.

Lechasseur: His mom, easiest choice here.

Should've mentioned I didn't change the percentages. The gaffe gets her the win.

[The Govanah Jake]

Mom: Socially Moderate to Liberal, Most Likely a Fiscal Liberal with a strong Anti-Corruption element. Seems to be a Left-Libertarian. Moderate of Trump support however. Moderately supported Sanders in the Primary.

Dad: Definitely a Fiscal Conservative or at least a Fiscal Moderate. Socially Moderate to Socially Conservative too, although support legalization of Marijuana and is Pro-Choice. Doesn't put much emphasis on it however, besides his strong support for Marijuana legalization due to his investment in Marijuana related stocks. Strongly Pro-Trump and to my knowledge doesn't support any of the Democratic opposition to him.

Oh, also, if she campaigns hard on healthcare (which she likely would), she'd get more of the economically left but socially conservative people, who say they agree more with Bernie than McConnell.

I see.

[America Needs R'hllor]

This would be a trainwreck of an election with many gaffes on both sides, lol.
My dad runs as a moderate with vaguely liberal social views and vaguely conservative economic views, and a very hard line on Russia. My mom runs with similar vague social views as my dad, but maybe a bit less liberal socially and more to the left on economics. She'd be a bit of a soccer mom and win suburban women by large margins. The main difference and the most contentious issue is Russia, on which my mom takes a softer view.
In the end, my mom wins purely because she would be much more disciplined and less gaffe-prone on the trail.

My Mom/Doug Jones- 379 Delegates ✓
My Dad/John McCain- 159 Delegates

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

My mom
My dad

My mom is a fiscally moderate, socially liberal, establishment-oriented, Republican-turned-Independent who has rapidly become more liberal since the rise of Trump. She believes in things like LGBT and civil rights, progressive taxes, free markets, and pragmatist foreign policy.
My dad is a fiscally conservative, socially moderate, anti-establishment, Republican-turned-Libertarian who hates Trump but loves figures like Hannity. He believes in things like gun rights (describes himself as a single-issue voter on gun rights, religiously voting for every NRA-endorsed candidate), LGBT and civil rights, flat tax, freest markets possible, deregulation, and isolationist foreign policy. He's also incredibly gaffe-prone, assuming that fact still matters in politics nowadays.

I was gonna make my dad Libertarian yellow but both my parents went to UM, so I thought green and orange would be cute.

[DFL]

Ok let me give this a more detailed shot.

The Candidates

My Mother
Confused RINO/actual Democrat that used to be a true Democrat but started voting Republican because my father told her too and "taxes". Since 2016 has finally admitted she's a Democrat (and reluctantly voted for Clinton), supports public healthcare, anti school choice (is a teacher), pro-marijuana, and is VERY progressive on social issues (guns, race, LGBTQ+, etc). Is a non-interventionist (as far as I know), and fiscally center-left. Not a great public speaker, but can connect really well with people. Non-religious. Base includes college students, die-hard liberals, and minorities (but doesn't do great with turnout here). Favorite politician: Ann Richards.

My Father
Former Democrat turned Republican by fiscal issues. Now socially moderate and fiscally conservative. Left presidential ballot blank in 2016. Whip-smart, incredibly charismatic, and would make a fantastic politician. Runs to the right of my mom on both issues, and due to being more centrist to begin with wins in a landslide. Non-religious, but would easily hype it up to win. Could easily have a hot-mic gaffe of him making an insensitive comment about the LGBTQ community, or using outdated racial terms. Easily wins suburbanites and most Republicans. Favorite politician: Ronald Reagan.

My Dad - 365EV
My Mom - 173EV

[HillGoose]

It'll be hard, they're both pretty close. Both neoconservatives since 1991, Bush doctrine, PATRIOT Act, economically on the right (to different degrees, though) The only differences I can tell are that:

1. My mother is more socially liberal than my father, she is pro-LGBT and pro-choice, as well as pro-amnesty, while my father is none of those.
(My mother is more socially liberal)

2. My father hates any type of government spending except military and police. My mother believes in a reasonable amount of safety-net or welfare, while my father wants all social programs cancelled, essentially.
(My father is more economically hard-right)

3. My father is more hawkish than my mother. Wants to liberate Iran, Syria, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. My mother is still supportive of the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, but isn't too pro-invading everything.
(My father is more hawkish than my mother)

4. My mother is strongly Catholic, while my father hates religion and is a deist.
(My mother is more religious)

5. My mother is a permanent Never Trump-er, while my father started out as a Never Trump-er and switched to supporting Trump after the Republican National Convention in 2016. Mother voted for McMullin, father voted for Trump.
(My mother is Never Trump, my father is supportive of Trump)

Father (blue)
Mother (red)

[HillGoose]

although America would be extremely screwed with either my mother or father... my mother is a sociopathic bitch and homewrecker, and my father is an alcoholic with anger issues.

[Cold War Liberal]

Mom (R-MD, nominated by Democrats): Christian Republican who hates Trump. Pro immigration reform, anti-LGBT, pro-life (though she says this is pro-life throughout the entire life, which means pro-Obamacare and increased public education spending, not just anti-abortion). Anti-racism. Pro tax reform (though not the current drastic GOP plan). IDK about her foreign policy, though she supports bringing in Syrian refugees ("Jesus would want us to care for everyone, not just Christians"). Voted for Johnson in 2016 as an anti-Trump protest vote. Might make some gaffes but not as many as Dad.

Dad (R-MD) True economic populist conservative. Anti-illegal immigration, anti-LGBT, pro-life, not enthused by Obamacare but thinks it's better than nothing, likes Bernie Sanders, agrees with Trump on some things at first (and reluctantly voted for him in '16 because of the Supreme Court) but finds him abhorrent enough that he regrets his vote and probably won't vote for him in '20. Pro-school choice, anti-GOP tax reform. Anti-wealth inequality but doesn't inherently hate rich people, just wants the middle class to succeed. Not super knowledgeable on policy, would make a lot of gaffes.

I would be horrified by the options, as would most Democrats. I run as an independent.

Me (D-MD, runs as independent): Pro-amnesty, pro-LGBT rights, pro-choice, pro-public option at first followed by a shift towards single payer, for a progressive tax code with lower taxes on the lower and middle classes financed by higher taxes on the wealthy, in favor of better public education, civil rights
 and fighting racism is incredibly important to me. Would have written in Joe Biden in the 2016 Democratic primary and voted for Hillary Clinton in the general without any reservations.

Vote splitting is serious in this election, as Dad takes a lot of the more conservative and populist Republicans. Perhaps 5% of Democrats (people who are hardcore Bernie people but who don't care much about minority issues) vote for him too. Mom wins moderate Republicans scared by Dad's populism, libertarians, and moderate Democrats scared by my tax plans. I win all other Democrats and successfully turn out African-Americans in large numbers, which (in addition to conservative vote splitting) nets me much of the South in addition to much of both coasts.

Me (I-MD)/Gov. Stacey Abrams (D-GA): 41.1%, 282 EVs
Dad (R-MD)/Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX): 36.7%, 205 EVs
Mom (D-MD)/Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA): 22.2%, 51 EVs

Not sure if having myself run is cheating but my parents are too conservative for a significant minority of America, so I needed a progressive.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Mom:
Bleeding-heart liberal Democrat with a Catholic working-class background.  Thinks that racism and political correctness are both dumb.  Personally pro-life but totally opposed to government restrictions.  Supported Sanders in 2016 and Biden (yes, Biden) in 2008.  Never voted for a Republican in her life and believes their policies contradict what Christianity is about.  Very anti-war.

Dad:
Contrasting with my mom, grew up in a very upper-class Protestant household.  Wasn't very religious at all up until he had a near-death experience in 2012 and started believing in God.  He was, according to my mom, fairly conservative in their dating years because he thought the Democrats "spent too much," but that changed as our financial situation changed.  Voted for Ross Perot in 1992 and strongly supported Obama over Clinton in 2008.  He was a registered Independent, but almost always voted straight D in the time I knew him (one exception being Jodi Rell in 2006).

So, a Catholic working-class liberal vs. a WASPy former agnostic center-leftist:

Mom - 304 EVs
Dad - 234 EVs

[Crumpets]

Democratic primary - My mom is probably to the left of my dad, but only barely, and my dad would probably actually run to the left of my mom. If I had to briefly describe their politics, I would say my dad is one of the few white middle-aged men without a college degree to be passionately against Trump, as well as supporting Clinton in the primaries. His best political analogue would probably be someone along the lines of Howard Dean. My mom is a fairly standard #resistance/pantsuit nation social dem. Her campaign would probably look exactly like Hillary Clinton's with the exception that my mom is much more tech-literate and much better at being a relatable human being to Millennials. My mom is also originally from Wyoming, but treats it roughly the way IceSpear treats West Virginia, so I imagine her losing there in a landslide. I also see my dad doing well in the North East thanks to his liberal-Catholic background.

So the map would look something like this, I imagine. I have my dad winning, since I have this image in my head of my mom saying something like "I think they have to suck it up and live without my tax dollars" when asked about farm subsidies or "people will still be able to buy guns. But if they do, their children will be immediately taken away by CPS."

I won't make a map for mine, as mine are too similar.

I would say my dad is one of the few white middle-aged men without a college degree to be passionately against Trump

My dad fits this too, though he's not really middle-aged (he's 71)

Dad: Hybrid of William Jennings Bryan and Alex Jones
