[1] Escaped the knowledge of Watergate getting out, leading Nixon to have his term ending on a high!
[2] The joint Republican/AIP ticket was beat out the more liberal ticket of Edmund Muskie and John Kennedy. This is the most corrupt Presidential Administration in recent history. Threatens war with China and the USSR. It only slightly decreases when...
[3] Spiro Agnew is impeached for bribery. VP Schmitz takes over, but is restricted by Congress since he takes over right before the Presidential Election of 1980
[4] America is the best it's ever been! (As long as you're a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) The market is free and the Welfare State is being dismantled!
[5] That whole, "Dismantling the Welfare State" bit ended up being extremely unpopular, leading to the election of Jerry Brown of California becoming president

(I don't really have much for this one. If someone wants to do a more serious take on this, then they should.)

Fun fact, Schmitz's daughter was Mary Kay Letourneau. Yes, that one...

Marching to a Different Tune: Britannia Part 1

Merry Old England

The Good Ones




Land of Hope and Glory

The British Empire is a paragon of liberal order. Stretching over every continent and almost entirely unchallenged in her dominance, the rapid victory of her forces in the Great European War of 1914-1915 cemented an imperial authority that had existed for a century. Now, more than 2 centuries into Pax Britannica, the world exists in the form of Great Britain. The isolationist united states is one of the world's few republics and Russia one of her few autocracies; a system of global constitutional monarchy are united by the Council of Nations and the kindly but firm hand of the British Commonwealth, world police. The state is openly liberal and human rights are plentiful, though military service is mandatory for 2 years and devotion to the state is common. Internationally peace has reigned since the Great European War and decolonisation, whilst slow, resulted in stable democracies across Africa. The UK's close friends, the Indian Empire, Chinese Republic, Japanese Republic and French Kingdom all have similar, multi-party parliamentary systems and help sustain this status quo. It is rare for Britain not to be at war with one rebel group or another, be it religious fundamentalists in India, Communists across Africa and Fascists in South America, she is always ready to burst onto the scene and deliver a short sharp shock of English decency and democracy, whether the locals asked for it or not.​

Britain's parties are varied and somewhat confusing to American and other observers; the Radical Progress Party are a social democratic party with socialist and social liberal wings, considered the dominant party since the 70s they have established a status quo of social democracy and racial equality, they see themselves as the true heirs of both the Liberal and Labour parties although this is contested by... The Free Unionists, opposed to devolution but otherwise rather syncretic and divided. Some wings are socially liberal, others socially conservative, most accept the social democratic status quo but others seek a freer market, certainly more isolationist than most other parties they are nevertheless seen as wholly "moderate", they too see themselves as the sons of Liberals as do... Freedom Forever, now languishing and banished from parliaments, they are what little remains of the "Lloyd-Georgian" Freedom Party, established after the split of the Liberals in 1918. Whilst technically adhering to "New Liberal" policies, since their reformation they have truthfully been Libertarian. Farmer-Labour are the only major party without a liberal heritage, moulded as much after the now firmly DeLeonist american Farmer Labor Party as their predecessors in Labour, they seek to bring radical socialism to the UK and have often gotten closer than you might think. Finally the Technocratic "Forward!" are a new force in British politics but want to bring "scientific" government to Britain and the commonwealth whilst the "People's Movement" is an authoritarian, far right movement famous for little more than their founder and sole MP, pseudo-fascist rabble rouser Pat Morrissey.

When the revolution came for Britain, it didn't come in fire and blood but in song and strike. The General Strike of 1921, with the explicit support of the young but radical Prince Edward crashed not one but two governments and, following the Purple Election of 1921, ushered in a radical government of socialist reform. Unlike in Russia, where Leninism created the Eurasian Union, or France where the Sorelians created a militant, national syndicalist state, Britain's revolution blossomed into the Popular Commonwealth of Britain and Ireland. A repesentitive, non-partisan democracy run by a directly elected Chamber of the People and a Union-run (but still elective) TUC. By 2018 the PCBI is one of the world's superpowers but a quiet and background one, her head of Government, the First Citizen, is elected for long terms but has little actual power other than appointing the cabinet who in turn od most if not all of the governing. Out of tradition, there is a soft limit of 3 terms. For many years the First Citizen was in name independent however when the factions within the Chamber became more and more outspoken, Anthony Benn ran openly as a candidate of the Guild and TUSC factions, starting official party politics at the top.

The Guild Socialists are Libertarian Socialists and Internationalists, in favour of cooperative economics and workplace democracy, often seen as the "Natural Ruling Party", they are usually the largest faction and it is their ideology to which the Commonwealth most closely sticks. The United Centralists are the children of the ILP, openly Marxist and in favour of a more active, powerful central government, they are considered the main opposition as well as somewhat pro-Militarist and social conservative. Reform were once a powerful faction but now tend to take a backseat, the most openly feminist faction they are also the most right wing and favour only gradual steps to socialism as well as Detente with the Capitalist world. Finally TUSC are an alliance of trade unionists and syndicalists who stick near to the Guild in recent years but favour a more radical and openly syndicalist economy as well as the strengthening of the TUC and are broadly pacifist.

Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom

Lincoln never gets shot and is thus able to carry Reconstruction successfully to term. President Julian cemented gains for African-Americans, and passed a constitutional amendment allowing for women's suffrage. With reformists in control of the Republican Party, the U.S moved steadily in a socially progressive direction. The Panic of 1890 saw the rise of the Populists and the collapse of the Republican Party into rival factions. While the Populists implemented several programs aiding farmers and workers; internal corruption ultimately damaged the party brand. Working class Americans fled to the Socialist Party of Eugene Debs. Debs implemented large-scale antipoverty programs and shifted America to a collective bargaining based economy. The Progressives, a splinter faction of Republicans, emerged in 1912 as America's second major party. While acquiescing to the Debs reforms; they were still considered the more right-wing party. After America joined the World Federation in 1990; the Presidency became a largely ceremonial position. Presidents are now elected on a non-partisan basis. The exception to this rule was the election of Sean Hannity in 2008. Hannity called for America to withdraw from the World Federation but he lost re-election after a referendum in which Americans overwhelmingly voted to remain in the Federation.

[1]- Following President Johnson's humiliatingly narrow victory in the New Hampshire primary, the president announced he would not seek re-election. The Democratic nomination, marred by the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy after his victory of the California primary, ended up in the hands of Johnson's vice president, Hubert Humphrey, who did not enter a single primary or caucus. The Chicago convention devolved into a chaos with protesters being beaten by police on live television while inside Humphrey and his running mate, Texas Governor John Connally, accepted the party's nomination for president and vice president. The Republican nominee, former vice president Richard Nixon, held a commanding lead throughout the summer, but a dogged campaign by Humphrey, who finally broke with the president on the war in Vietnam in September, resulted in the Democrats winning the election in a very tight race comparable to Nixon's first defeat eight years earlier.

[2]- Rumors of an attempt by the Nixon campaign to interfere with peace negotiations between the United States and North Vietnam to tip the election to the Republican ticket have circulated since the end of the 1968 presidential campaign, although no evidence has thus far confirmed them.

[3]- The split between Humphrey and Connally was perhaps inevitable given the ideological and personal differences between the two men. Connally announced his switch to the Republican Party after a series of heated arguments between the two and instantly became the de facto Republican alternative to Humphrey, refusing to resign and instead spending the remainder of his vice presidency laying the ground work for his own presidential run.

[4]- The 1972 election was the first election since 1824 to be thrown to the House, with Alabama Governor George Wallace succeeding in causing a hung electoral college. The Democratic Senate chose Wallace's predecessor as Alabama governor, Albert Brewer, to be vice president, while Wallace told his electors to throw their votes to Connally, despite the Republican nominee losing the national popular vote.

[5]- It took less than a year before questions about Connally's involvement in the close-knit world of Texas Democratic politics soon turned into ones about several payments that the president had received during his tumultuous stint as vice president from groups that successfully lobbied the Humphrey administration. A series of congressional investigations exposed several shady dealings stemming from Connally's time as Texas governor through his presidency, and the embattled president finally threw in the towel in January 1976, becoming the first president to resign, handing power over to Vice President Brewer.

[6]- The first president from the Deep South since Zachary Taylor, Brewer attempted to restore the nation's faith in government that had been shattered by Vietnam, the disputed 1972 election result and President Connally's resignation in disgrace. His dogged efforts to keep his party united and attempt to see the country through the difficult post-Vietnam era finally collapsed at the end of the decade.

[7]- Former Governor Ronald Reagan shocked supporters by picking liberal Senator Richard Schweiker as his running mate following his victory in the Republican primaries. While moderate and liberal Republicans considered it a sign of Reagan reaching out to other factions of his party, die-hard conservatives took it as a sign that Reagan would abandon his convictions if elected. Conservative activists hijacked the remnant of George Wallace's American Independent Party and persuaded retiring New York Senator James Buckley to run, offering a "principled conservative" answer to Reagan. Although only ever polling in single-digits, the party siphoned enough votes away from Reagan to deny the Republicans the presidency.

[8]- Grover's populist, socially conservative takeover of the Republican Party has been seen as the culmination of the "Dixiecrat" shift to the Republican Party, and might possibly signal the beginning of a new political era in the United States.

[9]- The independent bid of John Anderson, a liberal Republican representative from Illinois, seriously impacted both the Grover and Brewer campaigns' strategies, although it ultimately failed to force Grover to moderate his positions and more than likely tipped a few northeastern states to the Republican candidate.

  • 2020: Bernie Sanders (Democratic - Vermont)/Keith Ellison (Democratic - Minnesota)

[1] Impeached and removed from office.
[2] President Mike Pence was best known for speaking softly while carrying a big stick. After threats of assassination against him loomed, Pence would take the initiative to nominate Former Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey as his vice presidential nominee, which would narrowly be confirmed by the United States Senate. Pence would continue Former President Trump's economic, budget, corporation, energy, and oil policies, but would take a hard-line on abortion, LGBT rights, crime, drugs, education, and environment. While President, relations with allies slightly improved after Pence made efforts to mend the United States' image in the world and broke from Trump's unprecedented position on Russia. Many supporters of Trump felt that the impeachment and removal from office was unfair and held fast to the fears they embraced when electing Trump in 2016. Mike Pence would be primary challenged in the Republican Party Presidential Primaries of 2020 by Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Former Governor John Kasich of Ohio, both of whom promised to set the record between 2017-2021 'right'. Pence would narrowly eke out a victory over both by reminding voters of Rubio and Kasich's failed campaigns and accused them of becoming moderate during their 2016 Presidential Campaigns. The Democrats would nominate Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, wanting to set the record of 2016 'right' themselves by voting for a populist. Sanders would nominate Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota to court the African American vote. Pence's smear campaign would include Sanders and Ellison's religious views and Sanders' honeymoon in the Soviet Union, both of which he accused of potentially 'selling out' the country to its enemies. Female voters were hesitant to vote for either Sanders or Pence, due to a controversial essay written by Sanders in the 1970s and Pence's association with Trump. The Sanders-Ellison Ticket would be painted as dangerously leftist, whereas Pence's selection of Christie, while controversial attracted moderates and independents to the Republican Ticket. In a final reprieve, Pence would make the case for himself at the Presidential Debates against Sanders. Keeping his cool while Sanders ferociously interrupted him and attacked him reminded voters of the 2016 Vice Presidential Debate against Tim Kaine. In an upset election, Pence would outperform Donald Trump's performance from 2016, even winning the Popular Vote.

The US population in 1997:”oh myyyyyyyyyy”

Nothing, I just did an ASB.

I think this might work better.
