You verses the previous poster in 1920

[Vice President Christian Man]

I did Centrist Republican because he was the last poster I interacted with. I think I'd do better than Cox IOTL, but still fall short because of the national environment at the time. I could've done either party for myself but there's no way CR would've been a Dem during that time.

Really? I feel like you win. Foreign policy would be THE issue and I'd the pro League of Nations, pro-internationalist candidate and you'd be the isolationist who didn't want to join the League of Nations. Domestic issues (where you more liberal on labor issues) would muddy the waters but otherwise you'd be more like Harding and I more like Cox. Ultimately, you would win for the same reasons Harding won - because you'd be more isolationist in a time when isolationism was the way a majority of Americans were leaning. You'd, I imagine, do very well in rural areas in the Rocky Mountains / West and the Great Plains. Also it'd depend on who the Democratic nominee was - I agree probably you unless we're focusing almost exclusively on foreign policy - since they'd have a lock on the entire South.

Ultimately, though, I think given that it's still the 1920s, we'd both be about the same on labor issues and maybe you a touch more liberal. So it'd boil down to foreign policy, where you and your isolationism would win you the race quite comfortably.

I'd have been a Populist Democrat.  1920 wasn't an election any Democrat could have won.

[John Dule]

I know this breaks the general principle that we should have the poster before us win, but if Fuzzy ran as a Democrat in 1920 I would almost certainly win as a Republican. Aside from the fact he stated (that Democrats could probably never win in 1920), this era would probably be the high-water mark for my politics in American history. I threw in KaiserDave as a Teddy Roosevelt/Bob La Follette third-party candidate who would eat into my vote share in the Great Lakes.

That's a good point, but my thinking was that Wilson was unpopular and I doubted that anyone with a "D" next to their name would win, but yet again Cox was an internationalist so if a likeminded (to me) Dem like Wheeler ran, it could've changed the outcome. Next person can skip me.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Bit of a tough call because Americans would not elect an anti-theist for president today much less 1920, but with Wilson fresh in everyone's mind, Dule still carries the GOP back into the White House by a comfortable margin by triangulating his rhetoric.

[S019]

Oh wow, a pro civil rights, rabidly pro LoN, internationalist, minority Democrat, I assume the South still holds their nose for me, though nowhere else, I also probably have one of the better performances among black voters compared to any Democrat to date given my loud support for civil rights. Tons of southern Democrats will stay home costing me at least a few states, but ultimately West_Midlander wins a landslide.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Sorry. I just don't ever see S019 winning a national race.

It is the 1920's. I can only assume everyone goes bonkers when they see "PAPIST" [of course, Scott is more or less the closest you can be to a Catholic without being one himself, but this probably doesn't matter]. I do even worse than Al Smith in 1928 in the South because I can't bring myself to pay lip service to segregation or anything. However I flip New York.

420 votes. nice.

In reality, much of the South would be won by a third party candidate like Santander. Hopefully we both know I would never resort to those tactics to win in the South.

I gave myself 111 votes, which is also a pretty nice number. And is my favourite number times three. But no I didn't do that deliberately haha.

I know you wouldn't religion-bait like some kind of Herbert Hoover of course. I was not keen on putting third parties in the mix though...

The South is swept by Some Random Dixiecrat. I'm also pretty sure 1920s America would Elect a Socialist over a Catholic.
