Party 1 - A slightly more moderate/conservative version of the Democrats. They lose the Bernie wing, but keep pretty much everyone to the right of Elizabeth Warren. The coalition is one of DLC corporate liberals, minority voters, and a declining, but still strong, number of union members. Major party figures include Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, and John Bel Edwards
Party 2 - A reflection across the isle of party 1. Basically everyone in the Republican party to the left of Ted Cruz. Neocons, pro-business Republicans, and "moral majority" Republicans find their home in this party. Major party figures include John Kasich, Mitt Romney, John Huntsman, and Susan Collins
Party 3 - A pan-ideological populist party, including elements of Sanders-ism, Trump-ism, and Paul-ism. The party runs as anti-establishment, socially libertarian, economically leftist, protectionist, and varying degrees of nationalistic. However, much of the policy positions are up to the individual candidate, rather than any "party apparatus." Major party figures include Tulsi Gabbard, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ron Paul, and Jill Stein.
