1956 United States Presidential Election

[Hatman 🍁]

It seems like a lost cause at this point but I'm sticking with the Socialists.

Why does everyone want to kill the Socialist Party?

I hope that once the SP is gone, we will still have the choice to vote for minor parties, like Socialist Labor in 1960.  No way I'm supporting that scoundrel Kennedy.

*Sigh* Looks like a landslide, folks. Goddamn Socialist hardliners just don't know when to compromise.

I could say the opposite is true. After all, the Socialists are the incumbent party. Plus, we want the Socialists to hang around. But thanks to you sell out moderates, the once great SP will now die a painful death, and I'll be forced to vote for fringe candidates from now on.

Hass '60!

We could have let the Socialist Party die a good and noble death, passing the torch to a new generation of liberal Democrats, but you folks had to go and ruin it, didn't you? It's not selling out to vote for the most electable progressive candidate, it's common sense.

And Hass got 0.07% of the vote in 1960, which I don't think is above our threshold.

Since when is there a threshold, when we elect someone in the 1800s who was not even on the ballot?

I think you just answered your own question (?)

It would appear that way, except I meant to say *elected. But I see your point.
