Thanks to all for appreciating, I fixed it!

 

[glenn67]

@jack_donaghy_is_the_shado why would the AIP go from nominating a segregation Governor to nominating a black liberal woman for President.

Also, why would the Democrats nominate a fringe single-issue candidate like Ellen McCormack?

Not OP but even IOTL the AIP had very little structure after Wallace and it would’ve been pretty easy for someone to take it over if only for ballot access.

Though of course even if Chisholm were to try to takeover a minor party to get ballot access I don’t see why she’d want to be associated with a party like the AIP (unless she’s doing it because of how much it’d irritate the segregationists).

A much different kind of German Dictatorship

Chancellors of the Weimar Republic
1918-1919: Friedrich Ebert (SPD)
[appointed by Max von Baden, unopposed]
1919-1925: Karl Liebknecht (Reichstag Spartakusbund/RSSP)
[appointed by Paul von Hindenburg, unopposed]
1925-1930: Gustl Kubizek (Nonpartisan)
defeated Karl Liebknecht (RSSP), Dietrich Klagges (Freistaat)
1931-1933: Kurt von Schleicher (DNVP)
defeated Gustl Zubizek (Nonpartisan), Hugo Eberlein (RSSP), Kurt Huber (Freistaat)

Vorsitzendes of the German Beratung Federative Socialist Republic (GBFSR, commonly referred to as 'Beratung Germany')
1934-1938: Willy Brandt (Beratung RSSP)
[appointed by the Council of the Peoples Will, unopposed]
1938-1957: Soso Jughashvili (BRSSP/Brennendes Schwert/Independent)
[appointed by the Council of the Peoples Will, unopposed]
1957-1963: Ulrike Meinhof (BRSSP)
[appointed by the Council of the Peoples Will, unopposed]

Chancellors of the German Bundesrepublik
1963-1970: Sophie Scholl (Widerstand)
[appointed by German Parliament]
1970-19??: Ed Silverberg (Zentrum Einigkeit)
defeated Eugen Grimminger (Widerstand), Gerrit Kastein (Belegschaft), Jože Žižek (Zarathustra Nihilismus)

Following the collapse of the German Empire, the provisional Republic was left in the hands of a representative parliamentary system, chief among them the Reichstag Spartakusbund, remnants of the Spartacus League intent on leading the country forward in a true communist fashion. More radical than the SPD and twice as ruthless, they quickly got on the bad side of the nationalist DNVP. Open street warfare was common between those who supported either camps. The final straw came with the election of the populist general Schleier, who's brutal crackdowns inspired in a second, bloodier uprising from the communists.

While Brandt, young and optimistic, was a perfect face for the new Beratung Republic, he was soon usurped by an inter party vote orchestrated by a naturalised immigrant holy man from the south caucasus. Brandt may have been dashing, sure, but Soso was not only a better, fiery orator, but doubly ruthless in his drive to seize control. He also had a second world war on his hands, leading his people into a pact with French First Minister Jacques Doriot in a quixotic war against Varlam Shalamov's Russia, and eventually even Marjory Brewer's England, even tho both were on the side of communism.

A heart attack would lead Meinhof, younger, more ambitious and even more radical, to take the spot of her predecessor. However, as it tended to do in Germany by now, there was another revolution brewing. The Winderstand movement lead to an end of the Workers Republic and in turn the War, as it began a long road into isolationism. However, seeing itself removed from the fevered nationalism of the mustachioed General Soso, there's endless possibilities...

 

[Antheus]

Well I'd be interested in a writeup. Looks very original.

1924-1938: Willy Brandt (RSSP)
[appointed by the Council of the Peoples Will, unopposed]

You mean '34, don't you? Willy Brandt was 11 in 1924, also his term isn't supposed to overlap the Weimar chancellors, is it?

Just a little error, who is the President between 2004 and 2008? MCain I suppose, noting that you write that he defeats Gore during his first election.
Also Sanders is a good friend of Kucinich and Kucinich is a pretty left-wing Democrat, I can't see Sanders run against him in 2016.

How did this happen?

 

[Hulkster'01]

Presidents of the United States of America

1961 - 1964: John F. Kennedy (Democrat)

Vice President: Lyndon B. Johnson
1960: def. Richard Nixon (Republican)

On November 22, 1963 while riding in his motorcade in Dallas Texas, President Kennedy was shot. He survived but the injuries sustained would force the President to resign due to his inability to preform the actions need as President. He would remain in contact with President Johnson throughout his term to help him with the situation in Vietnam.


1964 - 1973 †: Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat)

Vice President: Vacant (1964-1965), Robert F. Kennnedy (1965-1973)
1964: def. Barry Goldwater (Republican)
1968: def. Richard Nixon (Republican) and George Wallace (American Independent)

After the events of Dallas and Kennedy resigning, everyone's eyes were on LBJ as he launched an investigation on the attempted assassination of JFK and if Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. It would later be known as the Warren Commission with Earl Warren being the head of the investigation, in the end the Commission agreed that Oswald had acted alone and his death by Jack Ruby wasn't apart of a conspiracy to keep him quiet. Following that, Jack's brother Robert would catapult himself into the Vice Presidency as part of the 1964 election. Johnson had no choice but to accept Robert as his running mate and for the next eight years LBJ and RFK were reluctantly partners.

1973 - 1985: Robert F. Kennedy (Democrat)

Vice President: None (1973), John W. McCormack (1973-1977), Fred R. Harris (1977-1985)
1976: def. Ronald Reagan (Republican)
1980: Phil Crane (Republican)

That was until 1973 when LBJ suffered a major heart attack and died, LBJ would be mourned by the nation and would have the first ever televised Presidential funeral. RFK would follow in his predecessor's footsteps by fighting against poverty in the nation and helping the cause of Civil Rights.

1985 - 1993: George H.W. Bush (Republican)

Vice President: Lowell P. Weicker
1984: def. John Glenn (Democrat)
1988: def. Richard Stallings (Democrat)

After having Democrat's in the office for three decades, George H.W. Bush won the Presidency back for the Republicans, he's time in office would be heavily critiqued by many for his policies but he managed to win re-election in 1988.

1993 - 2001: Jack Kemp (Republican)

Vice President: John McCain
1992: def. Joe Biden (Democrat)
1996: def. Douglas Wilder (Democrat) and Ross Perot (Reform)

With the collapse of the Soviet Union on his hands, many regard Jack Kemp as one of the better Presidents since JFK and RFK. Kemp was a popular choice for the Republicans thanks to his football career and his time in the house of representatives.

2001 - 2009: John McCain (Republican)

Vice President: Lincoln Chafee
2000: def. Jesse Ventura (Reform) and Tom Harkin (Democrat)
2004: def. Donald Trump (Reform) and Joe Lieberman (Democrat)

Everything seemed normal for John McCain's Presidency nothing exciting nothing dangerous, just the regular "sign these documents, make a speech, approve this, veto that." That was until September 11, 2001 when terrorist hijacked airplanes and flew them into the pentagon and the capitol building (planes were hijacked to attack the twin towers but they were overpowered by the passengers and they crashed in the ocean, one plane had creator of Family Guy Seth MacFarline who died along with the others in the plane). Luckily McCain and Chafee weren't in either, the US would declare war on Al Qaeda for the attacks and would fight them for years til they finally killed Osama Bin Laden on August 3rd, 2008.

2009 - 2013: Lincoln Chafee (Republican)

Vice President: Herman Cain
2008: Mike Gravel (Democrat)

Chafee wasn't a popular president, not only had he inherited his predecessor's recession but also the aftermath of "the war on terror" as the press called it. Many business failed and it seemed America was to enter another great depression until the 2012 election.

2013 - incumbent: John F. Kennedy Jr. (Democrat)

Vice President: Barack Obama
2012: def. Lincoln Chafee (Republican)
2016: def. George Clooney (Libertarian), Herman Cain (Republican), and Jesse Ventura † (Reform)

The son of JFK himself would bring a familiar sense of hope to a poor nation alongside his running mate, former governor of Illinois Barack Obama. The two easily beat the Republican ticket of Chafee/Cain and slowly but surely launched America back into a new age of hope and prosperity, in 2016 many parties ran against Kennedy and Obama but all ended up screwing each other as Kennedy/Obama easily won the electoral college. (Reform candidate Jesse Ventura would die of a heart attack during the election) ​

 

[TPL99]

So after a good time without post here, I came back (with this little one-shot story this time )!

Fear, Loathing 'n, Dos, Tres, Adelante María: the 2024 campaign trail

2017-2021: Donald Trump / Mike Pence (Republican)
2016: Hillary Clinton / Tim Kaine (Democratic)
2021-2025: Mike Pence (Republican) / Evan McMullin (Independent)
2020: {declined to serve} / {elected POTUS by HoR}, Elizabeth Warren / Julian Castro (Democratic), Howard Schultz / {elected VPOTUS by Senate} (Independent)
2025-: Ricky Martin / Betty Sutton (Democratic)
2024: Mike Pence / Ben Sasse (Republican), Abby Huntsman / Paul Ryan (Citizens')

2019 was a mess for United States and Puerto Rico. Ricky Rosselló resigned by the Telegramgate's aftermath with streets flooded by demonstrators. At the Oval Office (and presidential Twitter), President Trump openly attacked the "Squad" which heavily criticized the use of ICE along the immigrants. But 2020 was even messier. A crisis in Hormuz Strait almost triggered a war between United States and Iran rocketing the oil prices too. After a 4-way-race between Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, the Democrats would nominate the former after a contested convention in Milwaukee. The '20 campaign trail would be extremely polarized, with failed assassination attempts on three major contenders (even businessman Howard Schultz) along a coordinated bomb-attack in battleground states polling stations in Ohio, New Hampshire, Florida, Arizona and Michigan. The result: a Electoral College tie and the main projection was that Donald Trump would be (but not so easy) elected by the House of Representatives and Julian Castro was in half-way to be elected by the Senate. All this before 12/1 reached.

At December 1st, President Trump shocked America after announced which had a malignant tumor in the intestine and, therefore, declined to serve if elected, then endorsing Vice President Pence to the office. At last, 35 electors declined to give up his votes to Pence two weeks later. By Christmas, designated-Republican leader in Senate John Thune announced a deal with Schultz's running mate and 2016 presidential candidate Evan McMullin to fill the Vice Presidency, being elected narrowly by the Senate with Jon Tester and Joe Manchin crossing the floor voting for him than Julian Castro. But neither McMullin and Pence had peace in office. The crisis in U.K. didn't end with Brexit effects and Prime Minister Johnson announced departure of NATO by March 2021. The Bluenami nailed the government lameducking Mike Pence, threatened with impeachment by both Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Ron Kind in early-2023 after he declared that which would rule by executive orders "if it was good for the American people whatever Congress like or not". Although that, Pence announced his bid to reelection late that year, even with approval ratings on low-30s.

2024 would remember 2016 in many ways. The Democratic clown-car had former vice presidential candidate Julian Castro as frontrunner, but a single name would simple reshape the entirety of the race: Ricky Martin. His (initially) quixotic run took down one by one his contenders like Gavin Newsom, Roy Cooper, Cindy Axne, Kate Brown, Tammy Duckworth and so on with a "progressive liberal" message that managed to persuade voters giving him strong victories in New Hampshire and Nevada, polarizing with Castro until May 2024 when he clinched the nomination. Despite President Pence didn't had a major challenger for Republican nomination, Representative Abby Huntsman (elected by Republican Party narrowly in '22) announced her presidential campaign endorsed by Citizens' Party (founded by former Howard Schultz's supporters in 2023), endorsed by Vice President McMullin which declined to seek a second term and former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan that would became Hunstman's running mate.

Martin, Pence and Huntsman then followed the campaign trail and made the debates, which the first and last got in as President Pence's argumentation died with economic recession that came by mid-2024. And even trying moderates, Pence didn't expected a 350-page-dossier made public by the FBI pointing to White House connivance with abuses of authority and human rights over the ICE "immigration centers" from 2018 to 2022. That was the October Suprise of that election cycle. With a >10% lead, and almost with a majority of popular vote, Ricky Martin was elected 47th President of the United States in a landslide. The first Latino, the second Democrat in the century to do it so and the first since George H. W. Bush in 1988 to achieve more than 400 EVs.

After 8 years of Republican controlled White House, America would start to live her vida loca at January 20, 2025.

/end Shirley Chisholm fangirling

How did this happen?

Hey all,

So my idea was originally trying to do parallels to current politics, but avoid using current politicians and kind of speculate what happens iotl 2020 and beyond without starting trouble. And somewhere along the line I also wanted to establish a prominent third party and do more call outs.

Now for the AIP lineup,

I first thought of this when I found the above picture and then read of Congresswoman Chisholm visiting the injured Governor Wallace after Bremer shot him.

Figuring that the mentioned PODs wouldn't butterfly the possibility of the shooting happening ittl, I went with it.

So Chisholm meets with Wallace, they have a heartfelt discussion and Wallace has a genuine change of heart, if at all possible in any universe, at least happens here.

He and those loyal to him take over the AIP and attempt to make it a big tent party of all those whom feel abandoned by the two big parties. Obviously the "dixiecrats" and a majority of conservatives flee in '72, causing this ticket to not gain as much in the general election, but still helping the Republicans and President Brooke.

As of '76, the AIP is more or less what Perot hoped the otl Reform party would become, with McCarthy (still a Senator here) as their nominee with the otl Libertarian vice presidential nominee from that year as ittl's McCarthy's running mate.

And for the other tickets:

And trying to avoid causing conflict:

The Republicans:

Senator Lenore Romney: Former First Lady and current Senator of/from the state of Michigan, her husband and the former governor had been part of the current administration for the last years. There are some cries of nepotism and some wish the more radical candidate had won the nomination, but the outgoing president approves of her. She has chosen a more conservative Senator of a safe Republican state to be running mate.

The Democrats:

Honestly? I was just spit-balling here on a candidate who ran that year with no political experience, thought to have no chance of winning the nomination, and could be underestimated.

I might revise this list before going any further and replace McCormack with Jerry Brown or Pat Paulsen. And I am not considering Lyndon LaRouche at least for now.

Tomorrow I'll beginning brainstorming for a continuation. And I hope I was able to explain some things and thank you all for reading and commenting!

Presidents of the United States of America

1961 - 1964: John F. Kennedy (Democrat)

Vice President: Lyndon B. Johnson
1960: def. Richard Nixon (Republican)

On November 22, 1963 while riding in his motorcade in Dallas Texas, President Kennedy was shot. He survived but the injuries sustained would force the President to resign due to his inability to preform the actions need as President. He would remain in contact with President Johnson throughout his term to help him with the situation in Vietnam.


1964 - 1973 †: Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat)

Vice President: Vacant (1964-1965), Robert F. Kennnedy (1965-1973)
1964: def. Barry Goldwater (Republican)
1968: def. Richard Nixon (Republican) and George Wallace (American Independent)

After the events of Dallas and Kennedy resigning, everyone's eyes were on LBJ as he launched an investigation on the attempted assassination of JFK and if Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. It would later be known as the Warren Commission with Earl Warren being the head of the investigation, in the end the Commission agreed that Oswald had acted alone and his death by Jack Ruby wasn't apart of a conspiracy to keep him quiet. Following that, Jack's brother Robert would catapult himself into the Vice Presidency as part of the 1964 election. Johnson had no choice but to accept Robert as his running mate and for the next eight years LBJ and RFK were reluctantly partners.

1973 - 1985: Robert F. Kennedy (Democrat)

Vice President: None (1973), John W. McCormack (1973-1977), Fred R. Harris (1977-1985)
1976: def. Ronald Reagan (Republican)
1980: Phil Crane (Republican)

That was until 1973 when LBJ suffered a major heart attack and died, LBJ would be mourned by the nation and would have the first ever televised Presidential funeral. RFK would follow in his predecessor's footsteps by fighting against poverty in the nation and helping the cause of Civil Rights.

1985 - 1993: George H.W. Bush (Republican)

Vice President: Lowell P. Weicker
1984: def. John Glenn (Democrat)
1988: def. Richard Stallings (Democrat)

After having Democrat's in the office for three decades, George H.W. Bush won the Presidency back for the Republicans, he's time in office would be heavily critiqued by many for his policies but he managed to win re-election in 1988.

1993 - 2001: Jack Kemp (Republican)

Vice President: John McCain
1992: def. Joe Biden (Democrat)
1996: def. Douglas Wilder (Democrat) and Ross Perot (Reform)

With the collapse of the Soviet Union on his hands, many regard Jack Kemp as one of the better Presidents since JFK and RFK. Kemp was a popular choice for the Republicans thanks to his football career and his time in the house of representatives.

2001 - 2009: John McCain (Republican)

Vice President: Lincoln Chafee
2000: def. Jesse Ventura (Reform) and Tom Harkin (Democrat)
2004: def. Donald Trump (Reform) and Joe Lieberman (Democrat)

Everything seemed normal for John McCain's Presidency nothing exciting nothing dangerous, just the regular "sign these documents, make a speech, approve this, veto that." That was until September 11, 2001 when terrorist hijacked airplanes and flew them into the pentagon and the capitol building (planes were hijacked to attack the twin towers but they were overpowered by the passengers and they crashed in the ocean, one plane had creator of Family Guy Seth MacFarline who died along with the others in the plane). Luckily McCain and Chafee weren't in either, the US would declare war on Al Qaeda for the attacks and would fight them for years til they finally killed Osama Bin Laden on August 3rd, 2008.

2009 - 2013: Lincoln Chafee (Republican)

Vice President: Herman Cain
2008: Mike Gravel (Democrat)

Chafee wasn't a popular president, not only had he inherited his predecessor's recession but also the aftermath of "the war on terror" as the press called it. Many business failed and it seemed America was to enter another great depression until the 2012 election.

2013 - incumbent: John F. Kennedy Jr. (Democrat)

Vice President: Barack Obama
2012: def. Lincoln Chafee (Republican)
2016: def. George Clooney (Libertarian), Herman Cain (Republican), and Jesse Ventura † (Reform)

The son of JFK himself would bring a familiar sense of hope to a poor nation alongside his running mate, former governor of Illinois Barack Obama. The two easily beat the Republican ticket of Chafee/Cain and slowly but surely launched America back into a new age of hope and prosperity, in 2016 many parties ran against Kennedy and Obama but all ended up screwing each other as Kennedy/Obama easily won the electoral college. (Reform candidate Jesse Ventura would die of a heart attack during the election) ​

Nice to see your back to making lists
