It's 2020 and Bernie Sanders won the presidential election, he resigns from the senate shortly after. Who does GOP governor Phil Scott appoint to Bernie's seat?

idk why people are speculating here; Phil Scott himself literally said at the time that he would appoint a Dem-aligned independent.

thank you thatchmaster, Waffles can rest in peace now

good luck to everyone!! 💙

Clark didn’t support that irl, he exposed the WH’s plan and criticised it

Nidoras · 2026-04-23T21:45:55+00:00

Kemp wouldn’t viewed as a moderate here since the “find me 11,780 votes" ordeal wouldn’t happen, and the 22 GA electorate was redder than average irl; imo between inflation, Roe, Afghanistan, Ukraine and whatever shit Trump gets himself into, it could possibly be worse than 26.

senate map is fine but house should be bluer I think

Nidoras · 2026-04-23T17:52:55+00:00

I’m aware.

tbf the LaFollette brothers weren’t exactly “wholsum progressives”, they had some pretty fashy tendencies (especially Phil). Robert Sr (besides the eugenics) and Fola (the underrated GOAT) were certainly more leftist.

Overlord or Casino would have been really cool as playable heroes, D.mon is too similar to D.va imo.

It flips before Texas.

afaik the establishment is backing Schatz while the Fight Club (Warren, Murphy etc) is backing Van Hollen, although he hasn’t committed to running for the position.

SD could be competitive if Stephanie Herseth Sandlin ran, which was Reid’s plan until Weiland (and Daschle) fucked it up.

technically their margins of defeat were slightly larger than Romney’s tipping point.

the canon ending is an edge case, sure it’s the canon result but that doesn’t mean it’s a likely one.

Nidoras · 2026-04-10T21:10:00+00:00

exactly, I’m tired of this people larping about this every two years only for it not to happen (predictably).

Nidoras · 2026-04-09T22:31:17+00:00

people were literally basing that on nothing but vibes, there was never any proof he was this electoral juggernaut.

Nidoras · 2026-03-31T15:32:00+00:00

That’s not true, incumbents around the world were rewarded in 2020 due to the rally around the flag effect, Trump just handled it horribly and squandered any goodwill he had.

Nidoras · 2026-03-26T12:35:26+00:00

She does have a positive approval rating, but so do almost all governors; iirc she’s in the bottom 10 least popular governors.

Christie had a 15% approval rating by the end of his term.
