Ive had an idea floating around in my head for a timeline with a POD removing FDR that leads to massive changes in the US political system. Basically FDR is removed from the picture somehow, either he died of polio, is killed off in 33 or simply loses the nomination to Garner who governs as a Conservative and leads to a possible Socialist/Share the wealth alliance in 1936 with a Long/Thomas ticket that elects Huey Long president. Gradually the Socialists begin to do well in the industrial midwest and big cities and the Democrats don't compete outside the deep south. The Republican party basically goes the way of the Whigs and Liberal Republicans and Liberal Democrats (who aren't left enough for the Socialists) form a Liberal Party to stay competitive. In response Taftite types form a Conservative Party and we basically end up with a four party system. Sometime around the 1950s a constitutional amendment is passed abolishing the electoral college and the House of Representatives is made up of Left-Wing and Right-Wing coalitions which trade off power.
