1924 Uber-Convention

Debs

I voted for one of our most underrated POTUS's, Silent Cal. Politicians tend to talk way too much these days. I would like more beef, and less empty calories in the words emanating from the class. We now have politicians like Palin that are almost entirely just junk food. Anyway, it is better to do not much, than do harm.

You think Debs is doing harm?

See: Panic of 1921.

Yea, but that's the capitalists' fault and not Debs'. This is why he nationalized a few industries and started a public works program to solve these problems.

Cathcon, I want Sen. Lee Overman (D-NC)/Rep. Alexander Mitchell Palmer (D-PA) on the ballot on the Anti-Socialist Party ticket.

Seconded, though I wish the standard bearer for anti-communism in this era was someone better than Lee Overman.

Does the "right" of Atleftica truly want their vote split three ways?

The left has had its vote split four ways on occasion and we've done fine.

Underwood and Marshall losing is hardly the left doing fine.  Debs is alright, but not the way he was elected.

So if there's a four-way split and only one can win, the fact that the other three didn't win means the whole thing's doing badly? We've had 36 consecutive years of leftist Presidents, X.

Just saying it could be better.

Do you mean more leftist, as in a four-, five-, or even six-term Debs Presidency?

I mean as in not soiling Debs good name with such shameful dirty tricks.  Let the man win or lose with dignity and stop ruining the TL by forcing Cath to use jungle primaries.

Are you in favor of taking away our right to vote in other primaries then?

Can we have a united ticket to go up against the Soviets Socialists? 

As in a Republican and a Democrat or this Overman/Palmer thing that's being bandied about?

I mean like as in times where one party decided to endorse another party's candidate in order to put up a united opposition against the party in power.

As tempting as that may be, I fear I would be too active in my role as this thing's manager if I were to lop together a two-party ticket.

I think you should run a national poll concurrently with 1924 election asking voters whether they want a unified anti-socialist ticket in the future for 1928(against Norman Thomas or Debs VP)
