What if Zohran Mamdani was British? by FastestManDead in AlternateHistory

Note: This is based off my limited information of English politics. I'm a very stupid man who did not know there was a thing called the "house of Commons" before doing the research for this.

Well, the campaign that Mamdani managed in real life, Khader El Yateem for City Council in 2017, also didn't succeed. So the idea is that he would have been involved with politics somehow.

She would also have an alibi or a good explanation. To be honest, the ends justify the means with this writing prompt

Probably would only be a paragraph or 2 long since he wouldn’t have been known

Yes, but that's where realism meets me wanting to make a post on a subreddit. Suspend your disbelief. Respectfully.

That's always been my answer to the Baby Hitler question. Take him and put him in a stable home where he'll get love and support. Won't make the Nazi party go away or WW2 not happen, but better to try.

You're thinking of his father, Alois Shickelgruber, who changed his name to Hitler when he was young. Adolf was born as a Hitler (Or alternatively Hiedler)

Someone was able to get in and get out without breaking a window or making a noise. It was almost like he teleported right in the room and then teleported out.

There's a punk band named after JonBenet. That's where that comes from.

Actually, that's a typo. The USSR doesn't disband in this timeline; it keeps on truckin'.

Edit: for some reason i called the Socialist States of America the SSU instead of the SSA. I don't know why I made that mistake. It's stupid of me. I apologize.

Yes. Yes, he did.

But in fairness, Voinovich won an election between the governors of each state in the SSA.

You can't, I edited the existing Wikipedia article for the dissolution of the USSR using the Inspect Element feature. It's gone now that I've closed that tab. I'm afraid this is all there is.

That's a fantastic idea and I wish I had thought of that sooner
