Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1912

[NKVD]

A TR landslide. Good heavens, what a surprise.

A TR landslide. Good heavens, what a surprise.

I am shocked, shocked!

 

[blindgoose]

Debs is putting up a decent fight.

 

[Mappa Mundorum]

My vote was not so much pro-Roosevelt as anti-Debs. (And I'm extremely gratified to see Wilson tanking hard as well...)

Wilson's performance in this election so far seems to be the worst of any candidate who actually won in OTL. Outside this site, Wilson is frequently ranked among the best presidents, but here, he's the anti-TR.

I am rather shocked that Debbs is over-half of Teddy, this is bully

 

[Noravea]

Yeah, Wilson is to many AH.commers a modern Andrew Jackson (Although I consider Jackson to be a mix of TR and Wilson, but 1800s and a jackass.)

 

[Evan]

Ever since I saw how racist Wilson was, my tolerance for him has collapsed.

 

[Plumber]

It's more like Wilson is a mix of Jackson and TR. Imperialist and racist? Double check. But he's fiscally not a dumbass like Jackson was.

This. Oh, and he actually attempted to ban child labor and observed labor rights, which T.R. only talked about. Wilson was an awful human being and I'd certainly have voted for Debs on account of how virulently a racist the man was, but I think we go too far sometimes here and there in completely denying the idea that Wilson could have done anything good at all, and it's clear that in some areas he did and in others he made things worse. Like every other human being on the planet that has ever lived, he's a mixed bag. Just like Theodore Roosevelt, who never met a war he didn't like.

Oh I agree, Wilson didn't necessarily have to do worse at all. At the best of times he was merely an insufferable cunt.

 

[Van555]

I predict Teddy Roosevelt is likely to win but fuck it, Eugene Debs.

Can a man be a cunt?

 

[Ace Venom]

I vote Taft.

And mine. I think the elections will get more interesting next time with no TR for all the fanboys to vote for.

 

[Stormy Sky]

Debs FTW.

But looks like another Teddy landslide...

 

[HeavyWeaponsGuy]

Congratulations on your election Mr. Roosevelt.

Now let's finish off those damned ugly Moros and be done with them.

That's not racist at all.

I wonder what will happen once we AH.com doesn't have a Socialist to vote for....

As long as he includes the top six or seven vote-getters, there will always be a socialist.
