We on the center-left and the left need to hammer something out for 1952. If we split our vote in 1948, Bob Taft, a man who is as reactionary as they come, will be elected President. He will appease the Soviets and let South Korea fall to the North. He will let Stalin set up shop in Italy and in West Germany.

If you don't vote for Truman, vote for Sinclair in the general election. Sinclair is an avowed anti-communist and won't work with Stalin. Wallace was on friendly terms with Stalin. Your preference ballot should ideally look like this:

[1] Truman or Sinclair
[2] Sinclair or Truman
[3] Wallace
[4] Taft

We cannot let the forces of reaction seize the day because the left is divided. We have to unite behind either Truman or Sinclair, not the Soviet stooge.

Let's unite behind Sinclair, preferably, but I agree wholeheartedly with this.

Let's unite behind opposing this blatent attempt to establish a one-party state.

How the hell would a unity ticket establish a one-party state? This just brings the number of parties down to three.

Simple. If the left is united, then the right can never win because the left outnumbers them.

As someone who is rather left of center, I would love nothing more than for such a situation to happen in real life. But in this game, it would only be boring.
