My first real go at a wikibox. I've been reading Peter Camejo's memoir and just got to the point where he "ran" for Senate in Massachusetts in 1970. I say "ran" because ballot access for the SWP was hopeless. He apparently debated Ted Kennedy a couple times by showing up at Kennedy town...

Yeah, it's longer from Denver to Dallas or Vegas than from Southampton to Scapa Flow.

Random sequel/spinoff idea I had to the SWP vs. Libertarian system thing I did a bit ago. This is now 1996. Eric Flint (Socialist Workers' Party, WV): 274 EVs L. Neil Smith (Libertarian, AZ): 261 EVs Kim Stanley Robinson (Green Party, IL): 3 EVs

Ah, my favorite Midwestern state, West Florida.

You mean other than the dozens of games that already do this?

Screw causality and any time paradoxes we need to invent time travel just to get this. EDIT: "Sally Field as Carrie" That settles it.

Okay first you need to go into what a prolonged trucking craze would do to American culture.

A game that doesn't involve military history.

Somehow keep the Ford/Carter division going.

I probably gave them a bit too much of the South, but mainly through mobilizing the black vote, but also through poor whites. I'm reading Camejo's memoir right now and he and the SWP were very active in Malcolm X and King's circles. In a world where the SWP somehow became one of the two major...

I suspect formal parties would still have an organizational and/or ballot access role and after everything would still be more consolidated at the state level.

I really should do something more with this at some point. The idea I had was indeed for the Democrats to slowly crack and fracture under their own weight, probably with things fully splintering once FDR dies. IIRC my original idea would also have small remnant pieces of the GOP left in places...

It might not be likely, but it's certainly possible for things to shake out that way, especially as we get to the 50s and 60s, and that's how it does ITTL. Note that most of the minority women who become Senators early so far, such as Daisy Gatson Bates, only serve one term, implying that their...
