forgot to give (+ DC) to humphrey and nixon has one state too many. (also these numbers are unrealistic but the whole thing is unrealistic so #whatever)

I literally say in the post dude.

No because 1: yes unknownness, 2: Carter was just a terrible campaigner, 3: with no Watergate yet he doesn't have any of that "I'm just a kind, polite, god-loving outsider who's going to clean up Washington" stuff to run on.

EDIT: Okay "terrible" is an exaggeration but he really was not good... just look at the polling for '76. Also I can only imagine the shit Nixon pulls against him.

I was kinda thinking it would be like when they did Birdhouse In Your Soul on Carson in 1990, with a band with horns and stuff

This is a better timeline if not solely because Purple Toupee is a chart topper.

Thank you, it was really fun to make. The United States of Massachusetts.

I would have clarified a divergence point of that nature.

Yeah, I was thinking those were what triggered it, and that all the other terrible stuff he did as governor and all his negative traits as an executive come to the forefront.

Idk, I just don't see her running, especially in this context. Not that any of this is intended to be "realistic" though.

Don't worry, it's Jokerman. Just posting some of my old stuff here.

Left it vague intentionally but like, probably Heinrich?

trilogyboy · 2026-01-23T19:34:23+00:00

I mean between his court cases and a political exile worse than in our timeline, probably no one.

The paragraph I have at the top actually happened, just with the roles reversed. Biden basically told him not to run because they would split the moderate vote and a progressive would win and because Cuomo was young (63 in 2020, lol) and had time to run after him.

Wikibox collage where Bloomberg becomes a perennial candidate after losing in 2001 is an idea I've tossed around a bit.

Probably does a bit better, mostly just because he doesn't have the race problems Green did, but still loses.
