1932 United States Presidential Election

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Norm Thomas to save us from the Depression!

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

THERE IS NO DEPRESSION![/size]

If we continue down our current, neoliberal, path, there most certainly will be.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Ok, fine, Norm Thomas to end the recession!

Better?

The Debs-Stedman recession was ended in 1930. Read the OP.

We all know Cath is rather biased towards Socialists, so I take what he says about them with a grain of salt. Hell, the only thing he said about F-Doug was that some of his policies were allegedly unconstitutional.

I actually quite like Douglass. However, given lack of familiarity with what his policies might have been, I was intentionally vague. I made some quick assumptions that he might have enforced certain civil rights and anti-Klan acts with a certain amount of vigor, and therefore earned the ire of the Bourbon Democrats and such.

His policies definitely included having the best hair of any President, narrowly beating Reuben Fenton.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

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!

particularly since the consequences are so dire.

Hold on, I'm confused. Was that sarcasm?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Yes the exclusion of the communists Is a great tragedy caused by a coalition of bourgeois parties and the so called socialists who are in reality revisionist class traitors.

The Socialist Party will always have the support of the working class!

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

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.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Come on, Thomas!

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I go with the Dream Team of Coolidge and Pinchot.  Of course, it will be a landslide for Smith due to the nature of this forum.

Oh, it'd be fantastic if it were a landslide for Smith (or for Coolidge for that matter). However, I fear we are treading much closer to danger than that.

Personally, a pessimist, so I believe Smith will pull it out in the end. Thomas '32 and FDR '40!

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

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

By "some Socialists" do you mean "Seatown"? He's only one Socialist. I personally would happily vote for four terms of FDR and I did, in fact. And the Coolidge campaign is in a sad state as well, are the businessmen not all supporting Smith still?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Just an hour and a half left! Let's pull this one out!

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Cath should remove his vote to determine the winner, unless he voted for Coolidge.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

That's what he's done in the past.

If he voted for Coolidge, then... coin flip?

Probably. I think he voted for Smith, so...go Thomas?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I guess this all rests on whether Cath went with his principles or electability.

Principles!? What!?

You know, continuing the One-Party State where George Norris left off.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Maybe FDR can finally save America from the red menace!

Oh, he will, don't you worry. The new one-party state can begin in 1940.
