[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Reagan loses by 7.88%.

Reagan - 122
Mondale - 416

What happened? Did millions of 18-29 year old white men (Reagan's strongest demographic IRL) decide they preferred the preachy, schoolmarmish, shrill Mondale over the affable Reagan? Did they decide "Russians" by Sting was their favorite song, rather than "Ghostbusters"?

Ronald Reagan turned out to be a god damn diddler. That's my guess.

Massive FF maps and effort.

Bumping the threshold up to 2.5% would turn TX and SC Atlas blue, giving Nixon the Presidency (which of course would affect every election going forward, in addition to making TN and SC the only two Stevenson '56 - Nixon '60 states; IRL there were none).

Pretty sure i done this already but imagine Finnish elections and putting Finnish parties in the American political scene.


Imagine if True Finns didnt become it is. And Center Party is basically the Democratic Party and sides with the broad left coalition.



2020 Parliamentary election.






Center-Left Coalition:


Social Democratic Party - Elizabeth Warren 24%

Center - Joe Biden 16%

Left Party - 14%

Green party - Jill Stein 2%


Center-Right Coalition:

True Finns - Donald Trump 17%


Christian Democratic Party - Ted Cruz 12%

Blue Reform - Marco Rubio 8%


National Coalition Party - John McCain 4%


Swedish People's Party - Rand Paul 3%






Center-left Coalition - 54% of Parliament seats

Center-Right Coalition - 44% of Parliament Seats

Other(Did Not meet threshold) - 2%

The political upheaval of the past four years results in a movement for proportional representation. (somehow) is also enacted a nationwide postal ballot system which eases voting for poorer households.


Result: Elizabeth Warren is the first Prime Minister of the United States.



2021 Presidential Election.


Primary.

Center Party - Jason Kander 31% (Also Backed by the National Coalition Party)

True Finns - Donald Trump 22%

Left Party - Bernie Sanders: 20%(Backed by Social Democratic Party)

Christian Democratic Party - Ted Cruz 14%

Blue Reform - Jeb Bush 8%

Green Party - Ralph Nader 4%


Swedish People's Party - Justin Amash 1%





Run-off:

Center Party - Jason Kander 62%

True Finns - Donald Trump 38%




While Donald Trump tried to take positions to the left and right, the low approval ratings while in office makes voters weary of voting for Trump. Furthermore during the first and only Presidential debate he stressed that he would be open to dissolving any government especially one headed by "Pocahontas" that he felt was weak on borders. The firestorm along with Jason Kanders:s pledge to support any government regardless of ideology as long as they received a working majority or a possible minority government. convinces many moderate centre-right voters to support him.  Furthermore the positive approval with the action of the Warren cabinet in enacting Universal health coverage and faxes on the very wealthy prevented an election surprise like that of 2016.

Of course the National Coalition Party only got 4%, they're being run by a corpse!

I tried to imagine a scenario where a Democrat could win all 50 states in modern times, and this is what I came up with:

Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Evan Bayh (D-IN) 72.9% Popular Vote 537 EV
David Duke (R-LA)/Steve King (R-IA) 25.7% Popular Vote 1 EV

I don't think "corporatists" like Clinton and Bayh are the right fit for this scenario. I'd say that Doug Jones at the top of the ticket would be the likeliest candidate to have such a widespread appeal.

This happens in 2008, see my write-up on it in the Post Random US Election County Maps Here thread.

Guess the scenario in which this would happen....

[Hydera]

Guess the scenario in which this would happen....

Democrats run Joe Manchin and a Missouri or Kentucky politician for VP. 

A dirty primary fight between Donald Trump and Marco Rubio means that Marco Rubio becomes the Republican nominee while Trump creates his own right wing populist party that takes in a lot of rural right-wing votes.

Joe Manchin decides to go right-wing on immigration to win his home state. While Rubio selects Chris Christie for VP and somehow people forget about bridgegate.

Result is Manchin wins the strongest democratic states in the West and midwest and northeast. However his right-wing immigration policy makes hispanics turn to Rubio. Allowing Rubio to win Colorado and Nevada.


Also Rubio winning Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut and New Hampshire is only possible with a plurality but otherwise he manages to win those states by appealing to suburbanites.

Interesting. Not bad. The actual scenario has nothing to really do with American parties, but it's a decent attempt at what is a pretty wacky map in current American politics.
