For a Gore Prosperous Tomorrow

Okay then, what about anarchism, communism, monarchism, conservativism, libertarianism, and progressivism then?
-Anarchism: probably same as OTL before Obama.

-Communism: Well, we're slowly getting to where people just to fling the word to describe any leftist policy

-Monarchism: Same as OTL

- Conservatism: Depends. Neoconservatism is being pounded to the grave and a new form of ecoconservatism is being born

-Libretarianism: Semi-discredited as we know it in OTL for the time being given how libretarians sided somewhat with President McCain

-Progressivism: Becoming stronger
 
2020 Epilogue I- Elections
The 2020 Epilogue- Elections Then and Now

The elections of 2020 would be an interesting one for the Americans. Many see it on whether or not it will make or break the growing Neoprogressive Ea that was happening in the Anglosphere and possibily beyond it as well. Many look for a possibility of direction a year prior. Back in the Spring of 2019, the British elections were being held, with many wondering whether the coalition government under Corbyn's Labour party and the SNP would hold onto it or not. Some wondered that perhaps Corbyn may expand their hold and create a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats. However, the big shock came when instead, the Labour Party would get a noticeable majority within Parliament and with the Liberal Democrats taking a smallish bite from the SNP and a larger one from the Tories, with the Tories suffering a loss in defeat. Many former SNP voters switched to Corbyn's Labour with some going to the Lib Dems instead. The Tories meanwhile lost a bulk of support and seats. Most of them went over to the Lib Dems though some ended up even going to Labour. This was quite the surprise for many people and various scholars and pundits speculated various reasons and looked through the data. The Tory's greatest strength was in its ruthless adaptation to various circumstances and situations to maintain unity. As long as unity maintained, order would be restored and maintain the look of being needed for the British peoples and to maintain power. However, the circumstances from 2014 caused fractures that called the whole party into question briefly and their attempts to stonewall the Labour failed. They hoped to endure Corbyn and not concern themselves too much. However, Corbyn's radical rhetoric began appealing to people more and more. This intensified drastically with the rise of the Sanders Administration, who's own brave reforms and charged rhetoric in the people reached across the pond. It influenced Corbyn to go for grand ideals such as leading the call to greater reforms within the European Union along with improving the United Kingdom for everyone's sake. The world changed faster than what the Tories predicted and unable to adapt sufficiently. The Tories' victory streak through the ages was by identifying what the nation wanted and how to offer it faster than the others, but in a time where more radical dieas were being taken seriously, they slipped up.

And that perhaps goes back to the United States. While the Republican Party worked on a similar principle of unity, it was more dogmatic in its insistence to ideals of a growing bygone era, especially as how it seem to go against what was realistically feasible. All of them were united under certain goals and beliefs though it meant the party was prone to periods of populist rhetoric and changes that would've driven the party futher right if things were different. The Republican Party has a set of beliefs associated with it, but this ironclad dedication meant that it was easier to paint them as the foe of such and the party began cannibalizing itself as the old guard was forced out and left a vacuum that was still trying to be filled. Many have noted that most of the successful newer Republicans were former Democrats, either in voting history or in stance. The Democrats meanwhile was being more divided with the old guard being at odds with the new young blood who advocated for more radical changes for the benefit of people and leading the charge to attack the former power structures that maintained political parties such as certain lobbyists and politically-driven think tanks. The new "Progressive Wing" had grown even stronger and showed no signs of slowing down, working to cement their objectives and furthermore, make changes to the system to ensure their goals would not be undone by the vestiges of the old guard or their successors who benefitted from the unfair prior system.

The Democrat primaries saw the party divided in supporting Sanders. While the progressive wing was fully behind him, the moderates were divided on whether to run a less radical candidate or remain sided with Sanders, especially as the changing political climate was forcing them under further scrutiny and judgment for their choices and the reasonings why, including associations with nonpolitical entities such as corporations. Governor Barack Obama ran once more in the Democrat primaries along with others such as Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Yang. Some tried to appeal to moderatist sensabilities while others promoted themselves as the potential bridge between the more hardline progressives and the moderates. However, even with this and a surprising show of support from a large group of the Democrat party officials, Sanders maintained a massive showing support of the people. His results spoke for themselves after all. Meanwhile, social media was a somewhat vicious battlefield in picking which candidate, especially in comparing their pasts. While people change, observing past phenomena did bring skepticism and questioning. Obama would drop out of the race first on and support Warren though while Warren did come pretty close, various aspects of her past turned some voters off along with the growing concerns that she was just a political opportunist and not a good follow-up to Sanders' work. Yang meanwhile did get a good following, but was relatively new compared to the others and thus did not rise as much, though it did get the people talking. Ultimately, the Democrat candidate would remain the incumbant Bernie Sanders. However, the surprise came with the news he was changing his running mate. Apparently, Vice President Tammy Baldwin had announced that while she was happy and proud to serve as the VP in the Sanders Administration, she noted the need for change and after some talk with Sanders, noted that she would not be vice president should Sanders win. Questions briefly lingered on who Sanders would run alongside against though it was quickly answered in the form of Nina Turner, a co-chair of his reelection campaign and close partner with the administration. Some have noted that this may have been done to help draw more African-American support for Sanders, especially with the growing issues affecting them. Many also proposed that she was being trained to become his successor in the next couple decades or so.

The Republican primaries meanwhile displayed the ongoing search of solid identity for the GOP though some have noted that some certainties were the continued shift to centralism along with the potential of it becoming a big-tent political party in the long run. Despite this, many of the candidates were still among the older ones, promoting the GOP as out-of-touch, unsure of itself and wary, at least among the youth. They maintained a stronger following among the older folk, especially given the prominence of women running for it. Lisa Murkowski, Susin Collins and Olympia Snowe were all some of the big names there and who were taken pretty seriously as potential candidates for the presidency. They were among the big three and some other candidates running were John Kaisch and Bill Weld. While the run was pretty smooth and free of much talk compared to the Democrats, it was still notable in the sense of showing whether or not the GOP had a future, especially if the ranked choice voting legislation succeeded in the future, which would either save the GOP or crush it entirely. Ultimately though, Lisa Murowski would end up winning the presidency after a close tie with Susan Collins, with Collins becoming her running mate over.

The 2020 general election would be incumbent President Bernie Sanders with new running mate Nina Turner against the Republicans' Lisa Murkowski and running mate Susan Collins. Bill Weld would become the candidate for the Libretarian party after dropping early on from the GOP and going back to the Libretarians. Meanwhile, the Green Party focused more on state-level elections and more local levels to build up their support base.

The timeline is finally coming to a close. Considering that you've been asked by numerous observers including myself about what the rest of politics and pop culture looks like in this universe and you've given some brief hints about it you could cover this stuff in a much more in-depth profile.

@CalBear Your warning seems a bit extreme IMO. @CountDVB should have given a chance to respond to whether he would explain further or not.
Unless you are aware of the extensive history of the poster who was admonished, including the fact that he came off a kick YESTERDAY for relentless pestering authors of numerous time lines, it may seen a bit extreme.

Once you are aware it is actually quite mild.

Ban him if he's never going away with stuff like this. And my apologies for not checking his past.
 
How are the Nordic countries of Greenland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia doing ITTL?

Same with the Oceanic island nations? How is Nauru?

How are Equitorial Guniea, the Congo, and Eritrea?

How are Equitorial Guniea, the Congo, and Eritrea?

The Nordic nations are doing as well as OTL though Sweden wouldn't be dealing with the rise of a certain political party. Beyond that, probably a bit further ahead in renewable energy. Finland probably becoming even more wary of Russia.

Oceanic islands likely same as OTL though I'm not well versed on that. Nauru probably would not be dealing with some of the issues of OTL.

African nations probably fairing a bit better than OTL and being influenced to come more together and deal with intercontinental issues and so on.
 
Would the digital television transition in the United States progress at the same rate it is/was in our timeline, or would it progress slower/faster than it did in our timeline?
 
Would the digital television transition in the United States progress at the same rate it is/was in our timeline, or would it progress slower/faster than it did in our timeline?

Probably at the same rate if not a bit sooner. Though it would definitely have a bit more investment to be more widespread. I remember when that happened.
 
2020 Epilogue II- Protests
The 2020 Epilogue: BLM Movement

The Sanders Administration has been notable in the past century for making massive leaps and bounds in the improving of the quality of life for the average American in manners not seen since possibly the time of "The Great Society" intiative or even comparing it to the New Deal by President FDR fromdecades prior. However, even with the improvements, various cultural problems arise that administrations need to address and handle, especially if these issues have been bubbling over several years if not decades. And none other here than the racially-motivated violence and systematic bigotry located within the various law enforcement agencies and stations within the United States.

Various movements like #BlackLivesMatter have been on the rise since the early 2010s, the result of the growing outrage and frustration at the violence toward African-Americans and other people of color. However, the focus was more on the passivity of the system to enable these crimes along with other problems such as the prefrential treatments. Examples such as how white men who would shoot at cops would be taken in alive compared to how unarmed black men would be shot first with little questions by the police. These persisted and grew over time during the McCain Administration, but were secondary compared to the larger issues going on at the time such as the foreign affairs in the Middle East along with the lackluster efforts in improving the economy during the Great Recession. However, now with those problems addressed including that of healthcare, drugs and so on, this meant that eventually the spotlight would come to shine on these societal issues that many would prefer not wanting to face.

With the War on Drugs over due to the decriminalization of drugs and the growing recreational legalization of drugs, this did leave some periods of peace. At the same time, this did not stop other issues and growing examples over what was seen as police brutality. Things such as mentally unwell folk being treated with violence and beaten or others shot. These began dominating the news more and more and before long, these issues would become a forefront at the political debates. The Sanders Administration was unsurprisingly empathetic to the these horrific acts and led to legislation to hold police more accountable. Additionally, the issues laid in the militarization of police units along with the lack of training for the purpose of deescalation of hostile situations. As such, Congress and the Sanders Administration have begun working to enact laws and reforms to deal with this. Plans included training for deescalation, some budget cuts on certain police departments in cooperation with state and city governments, stricter laws regarding cameras and even some changes over court cases and dealing with police favoritism.

Unsurprisingly, there was a large amount of resistance and pushback against this. From police departments, their supporters and certain Congressmen. All the while, the people began marching and protesting against the police officers and the mayors who let this get away. All the while, pundits, political speakers and other people followed upon the mass media take up the chants on Black Lives Matter along with exploring institutional rot within certain departments, with the big names being the LAPD and the NYPD. While there was a presidential administration willing to assist, it was also the matter of organizing within local, city and state levels as well, especially with the rumors of certain police departments and heads of police attempting to possibly intimidate the state heads or others. Meanwhile, the Republican Party saw this as a chance as an issue to organize around, mainly in attacking the Sanders administration and Republican party in the lack of sympathies toward police officers and maintain relative unity. At the same time, investigations have revealed the widespread infilitration within law enforcement by extremist groups and hate groups as well, which led to more moderate Democrats and Republicans going with the story of merely police departments filled with plenty of bad eggs and nothing wrong with the insitutions themselves. This did also lead to concerns of why it took so long to recognize such an issue was happening.

Regardless, legislation was being put in for harsher restrictions on police candidates, more accountability to the public they serve and other actions though it also mattered into the enforcement of such policies, especially as some would downplay or ignore the new regulations, which stipulated some need for punishment there. Additionally, the culture had to add a method of reporting unlawful conduct with the department when it came to light how the "good cops" would be intimidated into remaining quiet and or complict by negligent superiors or aggressive fellow cops. People with violent tendencies and domestic abuse were barred from serving within law enforcement and those with such a conduct could not find employment elsewhere. While balancing the narrative did require effort, much of the reforms did gain positive receptions though it was clear this would be a long road ahead in doing so. Some considered other solutions such as layoffs and bringing in new police officers that would be taught the new methology to deal with it. Questions did remain on what the "bad cops" should do though, especially if they had a history of violence. Some even considered bringing in immigrants as police forces as doing so would accelerate their acclimatization into the United States and afford them a front of protection from bigots.

One major takeaway was that being a cop did not make one automatically a good person. Many cited the phenomena of how certain people gravitate toward positions of power and authority to lord it overs, especially those that are helpless. One such thing would be how it'd more common for a bad cop to bully a homeless person than say someone who looks affulent, especially with racial attitudes were taken into consideration as the Black Lives Matter movement has portrayed. Discussions by various individuals and organizations were held across radio, podcasts, television and social media on these reforms, the phenomena of "everyday sadists", racial bias inherent in the system and various other problems. Even with whatever problems came, protests continued and the Sanders Administration forced the American public to see, to not hide from such an issue. For Americans, this would be the early issue within the first few months fo 2020 with the elections.

2020 Epilogue III- Sickness
The 2020 Epilogue: Pandemic

Under the administration of General Secretary Li Keqiang, China has been gradually reforming. The top priorities was purging the administration on the federal, provincal and city levels of corruption along with the reforms for the shift to renewable energies and other environmental maintanace practices, especially with the creation of a local Chinese film detailing a China in danger of an overgrown Gobi Desert. Of course, trying to rid the administration of such problems means mistakes can be made, but they have tried to ensure communications needed in terms of foreign policy. It all started over near the end of the previous year. There was a growth of a new disease, a new strain of SARS, was found in the large city of Wuhan in the Hubei province. When initial testings shown the potential for disaster, the nation began undergoing into lockdown and investigations were made underway, especially for the disease not to spread. Rather than try to keep the news secret, Keqiang brought up the developments to the other major powers and developments were being made to keep an eye on it, especially with how little they knew. Initially, it looked like progress was being made and by Febuary, it seemed that the situation seemed to have stablized.

Then the news came of the infection over in Hong Kong. Then in North Korea. Then in South Korea. Then in Japan and later Central Asia. There was a spread of a new epidemic. Some slipped through the cracks, were asymtopmatic carries or perhaps mistook it for just the common cold or season flu. European travelers and businessmen would bring it over to Europe and from there it would be brought over to the Americas. And then the first deaths were piling up.

A new pandemic had entered the scene and the world. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus II aka SARS CoV II and with it, a disease. Coined COVID, short for the coronavirus disease and later COVID-20 for its outbreak in 2020, it would become the defining hallmark over of the year 2020. It spread much like the common cold, but was hardier and large-scale events where people were close to one another would become known as "Super-spreader" events. Initially, certain politicians were skeptical, until the various nations began practiacing lockdown procedures, the deaths began piling up and even some of the upper-middle class or well-off folk found themselves in danger. Suddenly, large gatherings became a problem. Work environments, places of entertainment and so on. They could suddenly spread the disease and while they worked for containment, it created a new issue.

Certain businesses were resisting the issues and people were being potentially forced to choose to risk their employments and their healths. Governments meanwhile had to be prepared to deal with potential economic damages along with potential measures they may have to take. People were either not taking the virus not seriously at first or skeptical, but by the end of May, there was the global consencus. The world was under the chokehold of a disease. Schools were restricted and many entertainment venues found themselves closed for the safety of their workers or restricted hours.

There was a growing restlessness occurring amongst the young people or others. Holidays had to be cancelled and people had to distance themselves. However, Chinese assistance early on helped to develop the potentials for such a problem. The Sanders administration stockpiled on various masks for keeping infection though notable for making the switch to reusable masks to be spread to people. Reusable masks found themselves as a boom to be washed. Hygiene was promoted dogmatically along with social distancing. All of these were done to try and minimize the numbers of people being infected to not overload hospitals as they had to prepare for the oncoming troubles. Cotnroversy came on how certain nations like Hungary and Sweden tried to a "herd immunity" approach and the problems there.

There was a growing divide between those who followed the regulations and those who haven't, due to their resistances against the restrictions and certain politicians aligning with them on the subject matter, though the growing spread and infection showed that the disease could not be bullied or ignored. And there was now a growing existenial dread over the nature of the virus. If several businesses and workplaces had to remained closed, what would be done about housing or food or essential services. While many Americans found themselves more appreciative of the government funded healthcare along with college students same with university, there was the looming question of people who pay rent or if they would be kicked out. Fortunately, several governments began making several actions to ensure the safey and well-being of the people. The Sanders Administration for example went with monthly direct payments of $2000 for each American to assist in maintaining finacial security, including the undocumented, the homeless, the unbanked, and a few others. Additionally, there was additional funds that came for unemployment, especially those who were let go because of the closed businesses or let go because they were unwilling to work in the conditions set by workplaces that would've endangered them and or their loved ones. Various other nations followed suit in some form or fashion to do so. Others began taking steps to work from home and do their best to adjust there. Small and local business that were willing to accomodate the newer "social distancing" mandates and safety regulations were given financial assistance to help in that regard. Frontline workers and those who had to be involved were given a payraise directly or by arm-twisting the companies.

The virus and outbreak would have far-reaching consequences. It quickly became the dominant topic of discussion for the election season and the Sanders Administration's prompt steps to handle it were applauded and celeberated, with several on the fence the first time or now going back to the Sanders camp . At the same time, he was criticized by certain politicians and concerns over the stimulus checks and whether the growing mandates and restrictions were legal or required. This would be countered by the growing tragedies of people lost to the virus and the fears over people who could be taken from it. Furthermore, many were forced to confront with the view of how various people in the service industry were treated in pop culture, the overall political stucture and by them society as they were maintaining the day-to-day order during this time. Movie theaters, amusement parks, restaurants and other venues found themselves relatively empty. While some adjusted and resorted to home delivery, people began to also cookm from home, spend time together more or resort to more leisure at home. Video games, streaming and television became the main escapist venues for people to hide under and bingewatch, especially for those who were laid off or found little else that could be done. Libraries found themselves either on restrictions or lockdowns when it came to renting electrical media. The theaters were hit quite hard with this and accelerated what many saw as the decline of the movie theater or at least megaplexes and big cinema as smaller theaters remained afloat through indie hits or other services.

Many also noted profound changes. With the absence of cars on most streets or the restrictions of some factories, the changes were surprisingly sudden with clearer skies and much less traffic. Stay-at-home orders saw the drop in traffic and in car accidents. While many expected this, what it actually meant caused alot of reflection within the world and what it meant for the larger world at hand. Others meanwhile reflected on the irresponsability of some groups and the results that came from the sickness and those who reacted without it. This also saw a growing sense of empathy and community. Homeless, among those most concerned, would find themselves given temporary shelter in different venues, most notably the defunct Trump Tower, having been possessed by the city several years prior after the death of the moghul along with the various lawsuits of the company and the arrests of certain members. There was a real sense that there was a small glimpse of potential here.

The Chinese word for crisis contained two characters. One meaning danger and the other meaning change point (often mistranslated as opportunity) though nonetheless, many would see an opportunity here and the Sanders Administration would be one.

Around July 4th, the Sanders Administration would take the time to reassure the people in a manner similar to the Fireside chats of FDR before rolling out a series of reforms in order to help out people during this time and taking the opportunity for a grander tomorrow...
