1932 United States Presidential Election

[Antonio the Sixth]

What a travesty that FDR wasn't nominated.

Go Thomas!

[Antonio the Sixth]

no William Zebulon Foster?

Would you like him added?

naturally.  do you prefer him or Earl Browder?

Yay! Great idea to spoil socialist votes and allow the right to win!

[Antonio the Sixth]

If Smith wins, we can have 3 terms of FDR. If Thomas wins, we can have 2 terms of Thomas and 2 terms of FDR.

Better still we could reelect Smith, have three terms of FDR, and have a strong economy (as opposed to one on life support). 

Not sure how the '29 recession constitutes a strong economy...

You mean the Debs-Stedman recession that was ended by Smith?

The one created by selfish businessmen sabotaging the economy? The selfish businessmen that support Smith?

Actually I'm pretty sure that crowd is solidly in Coolidge's corner this time.  There support for Smith in 1928 was likely more of an "enemy of my enemy" thing given the sad state of the Hoover campaign.  By the way, let's not forget that some of the Socialists actively worked with the corporate elites to prevent the more liberal FDR from winning the Democratic nomination.  Apparently some Socialists are only friends of the worker when it helps their party's candidate

Don't blame me, I voted FDR.

I find it strange that, apparently, you find the idea of me not possessing any principles amusing. It is of course true, but that is for myself to decide. I'm not sure where this apparent assumption about me got out.

What the heck are you talking about? My "LOL" was about the election's results.

Honestly, re-reading it, no, it absolutely doesn't sound that way. I admit the meaning of my post wasn't very clear, but your interpretation is still fairly convoluted.
