Another alternate 1844, this time with Van Buren as the Democratic nominee and John Tyler running on the Democratic-Republican ticket as the pro-annexation candidate.
What "Democratic-Republican ticket"?

Tyler formed and ran as the nominee of the "Democratic-Republican Party" but dropped out once the pro-annexation Polk got the nomination.What "Democratic-Republican ticket"?
1968 if Wallace had run a much better campaign and picked a better running mate:
He takes a huge amount of support from Humphrey, leading to Nixon sweeping every state outside of the South, with the exceptions of Minnesota, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
If Wallace had been the nominee Humphrey, McCarthy, or McGovern run on an independent liberal campaignLikewise, here's what I think would have happened if Wallace had been the Democratic nominee in 1968 (assuming no left-wing third party)
Wallace wins every Southern state except for Oklahoma and Kentucky, but otherwise he gets absolutely blown out everywhere else. Nixon probably wins the popular vote by more than he did against McGovern in '72, despite Wallace's somewhat respectable EV total. the closest states are West Virginia and Oklahoma.

Yes, but I think it's more fun to imagine there is no left-wing third party, as this would likely lead to Nixon winning staunchly Democratic areas like Boston, NYC, and even San Francisco.

Successful Greens, but economically right-wing? I'll take it.
Elizabeth Warren and John Bel Edwards would be my guess for the two main candidatesA map for the 2020 Democratic primaries, can you guess who the candidates are? (Note that there are more than 2 candidates, but only 2 win states)
