In a alternative universe, let's say we have a scenario where the two major political parties are the Consitution Party and the Green Party. How different would the coalitions be from the Republican/Democratic parties of today?

I omitted the Libertarian Party as a option, due to the social stance not fitting the majority of Republican voters, while the Constitution Party ID staunchly social conservative.

The only states I can see flipping in this scenario are Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire to the Cs. The former two are Dem states, but tend to lean pretty strongly moderate and might wind up choosing the far-right over the far-left. And New Hampshire has a weird streak.
Virginia may make sense as I doubt many of the more moderate hero types in NOVA would approve of a party that essentially wants to  abolish the military. But Colorado and New Hampshire are more libertarian leaning and I know that New Hampshire is a socially liberal state so I'd think they'd stay with the Greens.

New Hampshire is too socially liberal to become a Constitution Party hub. Colorado at least got pockets of major social conservative spots to make it a real battleground state in this hypothetical scenario. Virginia would swing Constitution just for the Greens not having many voters that would get their platform, though I see the problem arising electorally beyond the NOVA suburbs than inside the burbs.

Quote from: Vice President Christian Man link=topic=Keep in mind591743.msg9474697#msg9474697 date=1715140409 uid=30720
I've thought about this scenario and if the progressives had their way, we might see a party system similar to this.
No because the Green Party are just complete kooks, not progressives. They believe in anti-vax and anti-science craziness and note how not a single Democrat in Congress including the squad voted against Ukraine aid. The Green Party meanwhile believes that Ukraine is a Nazi-ran state.
Keep in mind that the Constitution Party is similar on those issues so it would mainly come down to social and economics issues.

There is a few overlap issues between the two parties. Both parties call for a more protectionist trade policy. The Constitution and Green have vastly different ideological aims that we will have a polarized elections based on their receptive party platforms.

-rural

Green:
