(Co-)Heads of State of the Democratic Supermajority

2037-2047: William Pressman (Heritage Supermajority)
2037 def. Howard MacHenry (PhillipMorris) Abe Fumiaki (Sony-Mitsubishi) Linda Lee (SecureNation) Esteban Bolivar (SavePlanet) Marty Smithson (Policy1st) Chrisjen Agambe (Economix) Corey Baste (YouGov)

The first global micro-Democratic elections were born from the failed murder of the United Nations by a coalition of several more powerful nation-states, and the retaliatory killing of most countries in existence came not from a bullet fired by a blue-helmeted peacekeeper but by ballots cast often by the same peoples who were cheering on their nations a few years before. By holding a single, mostly-worldwide vote in which the option for "independence" had to compete with parties running for the governance of the centenals (a unit of territory with a population of approximately 100,000 people - whichever party gets the most votes in a centenal becomes its government), and most found themselves drawn more by party loyalty than national identity. While the more anti-globalist regions squeaked out a result in favor of the resumption of nationhood, the first global election found the world under the final oversight of Heritage, an inoffensive center-right party which managed to win the most centenals. The major runners up were two corporation-parties, the conservative PhillipMorris and technocratic Sony-Mitsubishi, the pan-national militarist 'soldiers' party' SecureNation, environmentalist-leftist SavePlanet, wonky and rationalist Policy1st, centrist and dispassionate-on-social-issues Economix, and individualist YouGov. (Note: the "supermajority" is just the party which wins the most votes and thus becomes the global government, and registration requirements by Information, the regulatory body which -- among its many functions -- oversees elections, forbids spaces in party names, resulting in a lot of compound words)

2047-2057: William Pressman (Heritage Supermajority)
2047 def. Dirk Smith (PhillipMorris) Alex Schlossler (SecureNation) Bartholomew Grant (Starlight) Challa Washington (Sony-Mitsubishi) Iban Baste (YouGov) Vera Kubugli (Policy1st) Veena Ramussen (Earth1st)

A combination of incumbency and much of the world's inexperience with democracy lead to a second Heritage Supermajority, though growing feelings of the wishy-washy establishment being corrupt, or even on the road to dictatorship, lead to a decline in its total centenals. SavePlanet lost its top spot to Starlight, more leftist and less environmentalist, whilst to fill this void the more green portion of Policy1st split off to form Earth1st.

2057-0000: Vera Kubugli/Veena Rasmussen (Policy1st Supermajority)
2057 def. William Pressman (Heritage) Jésus Xavier (Liberty) Jennifer Shepard (PhillipMorris) Mikayla Summers (SavePlanet) Marcus Baker-Alson (SecureNation) Ben O'Conner (YourStory)

Majority support for Heritage had finally been eroded by the 3rd global election, and, combined with the quick ascent of Policy1st enabled by a re-merger with Earth1st among other factors, lead to the first non-Heritage Supermajority in history. The corporate-backed crypto-nonelection Liberty made headway but didn't cut the mustard, and after an embarassing gaffe from Baste, YouGov was replaced in the top polling with the similar YourStory. Already, Policy1st has had to contend with the annexation of the former Sudan, secession threats from a sore Heritage, murmurs of a power seize attempt by Information, the Central Asian War between nonelection states, and the anarchist revolt in the Sahel. Their ten-year first term is already shaping up to be very busy indeed.

I looked up the books and was surprised they're so contemporary - Philip Morris and Mitsubishi duking it out in global politics sounds very old-fashioned cyberpunk.

My father worked for Philip Morris, so I suppose he's a Governor or something ITTL.

'pends. PhillipMorris the party is intertwined with Phillip Morris the corporation, so having the corporation make money they can use for campaigning and governing is still very important to them.

A Happy Warrior​

1969-1973: Hubert H. Humphrey / Thomas C. Lynch (Democratic)
1968 def. Ronald W. Reagan / John Volpe (Republican), George C. Wallace / Ezra Taft Benson (American Independent)
1973-1981: Richard M. Nixon / John Tower (Republican)
1972 def. Hubert H. Humphrey / Thomas C. Lynch (Democratic), John Wayne / Curtis LeMay (American Independent)
1976 def. Henry M. Jackson / Edward M. Kennedy (Democratic)
1981-1985: Daniel Patrick Moynihan / Dale Bumpers (Democratic)
1980 def. John Tower / Oliver North (Republican)
1985-1989: John Glenn / John V. Lindsay (Democratic)
1984 def. Alexander 'Alex' Haig / Donald Rumsfeld (Republican), Daniel Patrick Moynihan / Richard Schweicker (Independent)
1989-0000: James L. Buckley / Lynn Morley Martin (Republican)
1988 def. John Glenn / Barbara Boxer (Democratic), Lee Iacocca / Dick Lugar (United)

Basically, Nixon doesn't enter the race in 68 and Humphrey narrowly beats Reagan, only to go down in flames to Nixon four years later as Vietnam gets even worse. Nixon eventually extricates the USA and seems to set the economy back on course, but only enough that he is popular, and not enough to prevent Pat Moynihan from winning in 1980. Moynihan finds himself ostracised by Democrats and is primaried and removed by John Glenn in '84, and his independent run flounders as Glenn states New York liberals by putting John Lindsay on the ticket. The perception of infighting and the centrist "United" party which is born out of Moynihan's 84 run eventually secure the Presidency for Moynihan's old rival James L. Buckley in 1988...

Yeah, I understand that, but I doubt any major party would ever do that. This excuse (not going after you personally) always seemed kind of lame to me, it never actually justified why any of the two major parties would do this.

But, it seems like Cevolian fixed the issue.

Turquoise Blue

Turquoise Blue

In honour of Douglas Applegate, that two-decades Ohio representative who somehow became a candidate in President Infinity and does really well for a random Congressman [but never wins...].

Also, NAFTA essentially drew the short stick here.

The Darkest of Dark Horses
Douglas Applegate/Joe Biden (Democratic) 1989-1993
1988: def. George H. W. Bush/Dan Quayle (Republican)
"Who the hell is Douglas Applegate?!" - Vice-President Bush on being informed of the Democratic nominee.

Michael Dukakis, Jesse Jackson, Joe Biden, Mario Cuomo. Just four of the names floated around for the 1988 Democratic nominee. But nobody would have said Doug Applegate, the congressman for Ohio's 18th district. So when he announced his campaign for the Presidency, very few took note, and those that did, received it with mirth. A random Congressman with zero name recognition, shooting for the highest office in the land?

The first primary debate had Applegate essentially be ignored as the 'main' candidates aimed at each other and competed for publicity. But Applegate excelled in one area, in grassroots campaigning. Selling himself as 'the ultimate underdog' and 'the darkest of dark horses', he somehow won Iowa and Hawai'i, upsetting expectations and leading to a flurry of newspapers asking "Who is Douglas Applegate?". They would be the first to ask that question, but they certainly wouldn't be the last.

A series of victories [including a slim win in both New York and Florida] led to Applegate being the third-most-supported candidate in a hung convention, and after many haggling, the delegates chose to give him the nomination. His victory took Bush by surprise who assumed the Democrats would get behind Michael Dukakis and prepared for such. Hence his outburst asking who the hell was the Democratic nominee.

In the end, by a recount in Iowa, the 'darkest of dark horses' became President, the first representative to be elected to the Presidency since James Garfield [who was concidentally also from Ohio].

The Applegate presidency would be one of changing global realities and the rising tide of free-market supporters. Applegate, being a traditional Ohio Democrat, strongly opposed the idea of "NAFTA" brought up by Republicans, and in the end, the people decided that free trade was what they wanted, and voted out President Applegate in favour of a fresh go-getter from New York.

Jack Kemp/Lamar Alexander (Republican) 1993-2001
1992: def. Douglas Applegate/Joe Biden (Democratic)
1996: def. Jerry Brown/Jim Hunt (Democratic) and Pat Buchanan/Virgil Goode (Christian Heritage)
"Can you hear that? That's the giant sucking sound as jobs go down to Mexico." - Governor Brown at the second 1996 debate.

Jack Kemp was the fourth representative to be elected to the Presidency and the first not from the Midwest. A dedicated free-trader who was determined to implement "NAFTA" as soon as possible, he ran into obstruction, namely a Democratic Party that was quite sceptical of it. In the end, it was passed, barely. And in the midterms he got a hit as the Democrats returned to force.

The 1996 election was once again about NAFTA, as the Democrats knew this was where Kemp was the weakest, as the economy was slowing down [for reasons completely different to NAFTA, but the Dems knew a good weakness when they saw one]. And to make matters worse, Kemp's rather... unorthodox views [including his support of softer immigration laws], made the paleoconservatives go off in a storm and form the Christian Heritage ticket of Republican Pat Buchanan and Democrat Virgil Goode, campaigning on protectionism and hardline social conservatism.

In the end, Brown stumbled just a little too much and not enough voters voted Buchanan to doom Kemp. It was a narrow but clear victory for Kemp and his libertarian-y Republicanism. The economy went into a recession as the 1990s drew to a close, leading many including billionaire Ross Perot to blame NAFTA for the economic misfortune despite Kemp maintaining "the best is yet to come".

But who would win? Who would harness a nation's anger and deliver a victory? Obviously a Democrat but who?

*a man steps into view*

*his grin is grotesque*

"I'm going to be the greatest president in history. My presidency is gonna be big league."

Donald Trump/Dick Gephardt (Democratic) 2001-
2000: def. Lamar Alexander/Ron Paul (Republican)
"Donald Trump is staggeringly unfit to be president." - Vice-President Alexander's remark in the third debate, receiving much booing.

After two representatives became President, the logical next step was to just run a businessman. And the Democrats did indeed do that, with Donald Trump storming the primaries and winning the nomination handily with his strong opposition to free trade. Choosing Senator Dick Gephardt of Missouri to double down on protectionism, he vowed to realize "the America we deserve".

Still, although the economy was stagnating, Trump was fairly controversial and he was up against the Republicans' elder statesman, Vice-President Lamar Alexander, the most qualified nominee in American history [as many described him as]. Despite promising polls saying that many voters were "unhappy with the situation, but unsure about voting Trump", they ultimately went with their wallet and voted for the candidate who would end the "unsuccessful" NAFTA experiment and go back to good old protectionism, like in the days of Douglas Applegate.

Screw it, I might as well finish this​
The policies of the "New Texan Republic" was controversial. After two of the largest Texan provinces of Deseret and New Mexico split off due to cultural differences (Deseret being too Mormon and New Mexico being too Spanish), there were fears that the nation of Texas would fall apart, especially in the more eastern parts of the nation, where French is more prevalent in the population. The election of Ron Paul (who had shockingly received the Conservative nomination in 1990, as well as the Freedom nomination, leading to the creation of the Free Conservative Party) was shocking. During the campaign, Paul had supported greater provincial rights, and his election began a shift in Texan politics. Before the election of Ron Paul, voter demographics were largely based on the candidates in the election. However, 1990 changed all that. Before 1990, the two groups you could count on to vote for the left-wing People's Labor party were Afro-Texans and French-Speakers. Afro-Texans voted about 75%-25% for the PL and for other parties, in contrast, the French voted about 10% more for Labor (second place usually went to some quirky candidate from New Louisiana that always ran). The White, Asian, Hispanic/Latino populations were usually split, and the Mormon population (that began to lose importance after the Independence of Deseret) voted overwhelmingly for the Conservatives/Free Conservatives. However, Paul's "New Texan Republic" policies, that had large amounts of provincial rights and cut down on Federal Programs (like welfare) caused a shift. Rural populations, which were already turning towards the Conservatives/Free Conservatives began a full shift over to them, as they appreciated the provincial rights Paul gave the areas. Not only that, but Provincial Rights included an easier route to Independence (as the Deseret/New Mexican Independence movements took decades despite the obvious cultural differences that grew those movements), which the French population appreciated, due to a growing New Louisiana independence movement. Even for those French that didn't want to leave Texas, provincial rights allowed for French to be taught more in schools in New Louisiana along with other French programs in the providence. Meanwhile, the Afro-Texan and Hispanic/Latino populations began a massive switch towards the People's Labor Party, as Ron Paul cut down on many social projects that were popular in both communities, and most infamously, he tried to allow discrimination in places of business in his second term. That last act lead to the People's Labor Party winning massive amounts of Afro-Texan and Hispanic/Latino voters, and the victory of Mickey Leland in 1996.

[1] Same as OTL
[2] Nelson Rockefeller, agrees to stand as Nixon's Vice President, defeating John F. Kennedy, with Rockefeller helping to swing New York and New Jersey.
[3] Former running mate in the 1960 election and Senate Majority Leader (1955-1965) Was a strong opponent to Nixon and won against incumbent President.
[4] Former Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller as a good alternative after conservative Barry Goldwater. It also helped that Hubert H. Humphrey, faced a split party with many in the south supporting George Wallace's "America First." He died on January 26, 1979, at age 70 from a heart attack.
[5] Vice President, Bob Dole, was visiting a small group of allies in Kansas, discussing plans for his president campaign in 1980, when he got the news that President Rockefeller had died. He would only serve for 96 days, when at a speech in the Civic Center Mall in Los Angeles on May 5, 1979, he was shot by Raymond Lee Harvey
[6] Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Tip O'Neill is elevated to the office of President. During his 626 days in the White House, Tip, would be the first Speaker to succeeded to the Presidency this way, the first Catholic President and at 67, is the second oldest president. A new amendment was made during these days, that addressed the succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, as well as responding to Presidential disabilities.
[7] Tip would be elected, in his own right and succeed 9th President, William H. Harrison, as the oldest President elected and would serve two terms. He won the election against , with the support of Senator Henry M. Jackson. Sadly only on September 1, 1983, Vice President Jackson died suddenly at the age of 71 of an aortic aneurysm, shortly after giving a news conference condemning the Soviet attack on Korean Air Lines Flight 007.
[8] leaving the presidency at 87, he beat, Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had left office at 70 years old.
[9] Representative from New York, Jack Kemp, was able to win by only a few thousand votes to beat incumbent Vice President, Mo Udall, with America looking for change after ten years of Tip.
[10] The election between Governor Jerry Brown of California and Governor George W. Bush of Texas, was a very evenly matched election, with both candidates having famous political fathers, being outsiders to the corridors of Washington, similar ages and moderates in their parties.
[11] John McCain was able to beat the incumbent president, whose term in office was a failure on both the domestic and foreign affairs, with the economy going into recession and Saddam Hussein, passing on weapon to terror-groups inside Iraq to kill his opposition.
[12] First female and Jewish President, Barbara Boxer, was elected only by the electoral college in her first election, causing riots in the South and Mid-West states, however as her first term came to an end, she showed herself as a strong and stable candidate and was able to win the next election with the popular vote as well.
[13] Florida Senator, John Bush, defeated Governor Clinton in the biggest upset to pollsters in America.
