From 1924-1936, the Socialist Party endorsed the Progressives.
In 1920, I'd write in LaFollette and all the other times I'd vote Progressive.

1928: Morrow
1932: Olson
1936: LaGuardia
1940: Landon
1944: Taft

You would, wouldn't you?
I'd have stuck with La Guardia in '40, and with La Follette in 1944.
Maybe I should make a Retrospective Election series for this TL in Shared Worlds.
