Which Party Would You Most Support In This Three Party System?

[Vice President Christian Man]

Party 1: Democratic Party: Made up of the Left-Wing of the Democratic Party plus Greens, DSA, Communists, and the left-wing of the Libertarian Party. The party has moved left on economics due to the Moderate Party taking the party's moderate/Establishment wings. Most people are socially and economically progressive, although the Establishment wing is more likely to support policies such as Internationalism, Fair Trade, and Atlanticism. The anti-establishment wing is prone to Conspiracy theories.

Position: Center Left-Left Wing with Far Left factions

Party 2: Moderate Party. The establishment wings of the Democratic, Republican & Libertarian Parties. They were formed as a reaction to the left/right wings of their respective parties. Most party members can be described as socially liberal and fiscally conservative, although a socially conservative "neoconservative" and a fiscally liberal "Third Way" wing also exists.

Party 3: Republican Party. A combination of Trumpism, the Alt-right, the right-wing of the Libertarian Party and many neo-Nazi/Fascist movements once considered to be fringe. Highly prone to conspiracy theories including Qanon. The creation of the moderate party has led the party to moderate, particularly on economic as well as non-cultural realted social issues, while hardening on issues relating to nationalism and cultural conservatism.

Position: Right wing-Far Right

Which party would you most likely support? Personally I'd support the least radical one, usually the Moderate Party but I'd be willing to support a moderate member of the Left or Right Party.

Swing between Democrats and Moderates

[Vosem]

Are we saying all three are about equally strong (which I always read into these kinds of scenarios)?

Probably usually Moderate, although I think I'd be marginally winnable for the Republicans depending on the exact candidates in my district and the relative strengths of the factions you're describing. I would either exist on the far-right fringe of the Moderates or the far-anti-government fringe of the Republicans, and wouldn't quite be comfortable in either organization. Would still continue voting out of hatred for the Democrats here, though.

I modeled this off of a more extreme UK model. Typically because of the bipartisan appeal to the Moderate Party, it acts as a spoiler to either party depending on who's nominated, although moderates are typically not elected at the federal level due to these spoilers not unlike the Liberal Democrats. Similar to our timeline, Democrats are the strongest in urban and majority-minority areas ,while Republicans are the strongest in rural white areas, and the Moderates would be the strongest in the suburbs and swing-states and easily makes the E.C. less predictable as a result.

If you had an Alaska-style voting system, how do you think things would shake out?

[DavidB.]

"Bellwether" doesn't mean "swing voter".

Likely moderate would have a strong advantage in this case and I guess I underestimated moderates appeal since it’s most of the Establishment which most voters of both parties tend to like.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I mean, I guess Party 1. I wouldn't belong to an explicitly fiscally conservative party. But I imagine I would have my issues with the more extreme folks in Party 1.

[Dr. MB]

[West_Midlander]

I would stay an Independent or join the (right wing of the) Democratic Party under an open primary system, or join a minor party. I would be open to supporting a candidate from any of the three parties, ruling out of the far left and far right.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

I'd commit voter fraud for the Moderates.

[MarkD]

Party 2, so long as they have a commitment to appointing objective interpreters of law to the SCOTUS.
Note: not "moderate" people, like Sandra Day O'Connor or Lewis Powell, but objective. They should appoint people like Justice Hugo Black and Judge Learned Hand.

[S019]

Party 2 obviously

[Enduro]

Probably party 2 but often voting for party 3 candidates

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

D most of the time, but obviously open to the moderates if a candidate from the crazy wing wings the D primary

[LAKISYLVANIA]

This is basically "what if America became like France."

[Schiff for Senate]

Obvious Party 2 is obvious.

Shouldn't surprise anybody, but: 2 >>> 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3

[Santander]

The Republican Party is the only sane one.

[Vice President Christian Man]

This is basically "what if America became like France."

Now that you mention it, you're right. I was originally thinking of the UK but most Europe countries are similar to this politically.

[Mr. Smith]

Swing between Democrats and Moderates

[Goldwater]

Moderate party, of course.
