America: Write Your Own History

Questions for RT: 1. Can we make fictional political parties? and 2. Is the "Equalist" monkier a reference to The Legend of Korra?

I make parties kind of evolve into others. So they aren't that fictional. And Equalist refers to the Equal Rights Party that Lockwood was in.

This discussion is just awesome! Continue it guys, i really enjoy read everything.

Thank you very much.

nce these elections are over the case should be reopened on the Woodrow Wilson assassination attempt and a thorough re-investigation should be conducted.

Very well, I'll allow a day of inspection and rebuttals.

I think the supreme court needs strengthening as a way to provide a restriction on the political power of increasingly divided politicians.

Interesting notion.

Woah nelly, I don't visit the thread for two days and there's like ten new pages.

Yeah it's indeed a little rambunctious.

Ordinarily I would support Debs but I feel the actions of the communists have alienated any support I might of had for the left. With this in mind I would like to found the Society for the Protection of America (SPA) with the aim of launching counter-protests should we see any more traitorous communist activities (such as sabotage/assassination attempts and those riots)

I like it! You should roll with that.

I was kind of happy about the assassination attempt because it created an interesting situation politically.As Spirictum said, we are portraying a true example of Communism vs Capitalism now.

Indeed.

Still I have to read what is left of the last page, and luckily this page was still fresh and I could read everything. I'm having my finals and losing this story as consequence.

I too have finals.

1920 Election Campaign

The race is intense! Fierce debates break out at convention as the far left and the far right battle to get their nominee elected! The Wilson Democrats, with a very weakened reputation from the Wilson administration, has done very poorly and has broken off into either supporting the diverse Socialist Party (with ideologies ranging from extreme autocratic communism, anarchism, moderate socialism, and liberal progressives) or the Harding Democrats, similar to the old Republican Party, that was formed from the backlash of the far left. The race is now primarily between Harding and Debs, who declare they are the best candidate for keeping law and order. The World War is still ongoing as well, with Harding declaring he will win the war, and Debs declaring he will leave the war efficiently without losing progress made.

"Harding" Democratic Party
Warren G. Harding, Age 54, Ohio Senator and political scientist. Promising a return to normalcy, and declaring an heir to the Republican and Democratic political system, Harding wishes to be more strict on radical communists as they are both destructive and treacherous during this world war. Supports the moderate socialists such as Debs. Employing famous persons in his cabinet, he plans to effectively win the war, restabilize the world, and allow for America to proceed as a peaceful, trading nation. Promises an end to violence, defeat, instability, and end to the rising Ku Klux Klan.


Socialist Party
Eugene V. Debs, Age 66, Former President. Noting his experience and good record, he wishes to return the nation to normalcy and balance, negotiating with the far left on a compromise and exiting the World War respectfully and boldly. He fights for the release of jailed communists, but urges peace and civility among the far left.


Ballot:
Harding Democratic Party 9.5
•Harding 9.5

Socialist Party 13.5
•Debs 13.5

Other 0
•Protest 0 (declare region in which you are protesting)
•Secession 0 (declare region which you aim to gain control of)

(Furthermore, in the next election I will include Australian, Irish, South African, and Canadian candidates.)
(1 hour left of election)

Do you think it is possible for one of us to run for President?

If so, I nominate CaterpillarKing for the Worker's of America Party

If we are allowed to I would definitely run for President as the leader of America's Worker's Party.

If so, I nominate myself for The Trotskyist Party

Actually we shouldn't do that because we are just splitting the socialist. Last time that happened it didn't go down too well.

yeah.

COME ON HARDING SUPPORTERS! We can't let the commies win!

All socialists and communists must stay together so we may stay powerful and strong. Do all comrades agree?

Agreed

This is not a Real Politik. Although I let you guys roleplay a lot, the candidates still are real people.

With Harding secretly supporting the KKK I am absolutely done with him.

Go Debs! Socialism must rise to stop the contradictory state of "Harding" Democracy!

what will you do after 2016?

America will send a rocket to Alpha Centauri where we will divide into factions involving Moderate Socialists, far- left Communists, far-right Democrats, and Moderate Democrats. At the same time, we will be competing with a sentient planet and the ruins of a once great alien civilization.

I think people are getting a little carried away writing their own stories. Harding was very opposed to the KKK.

Thank you for your response. I know that these parties are real, but I was just asking if not-real parties could be included. Since you said that this is not a realpolitik, I'm going with no.

Also, I know what the term Equalist refers to. I just find it somewhat amusing, considering the nature of the Equalists in the TV show.

Also, I'm going to cast my first vote for Harding. I disagree with him more than with Debs politically, but I think that a Harding victory would be more interesting for story purposes.

Yeah, that's all commie propaganda.

It has been revealed that a large society of German-Americans, organizing in the German Race Conventions, have provided a huge amount of funding to the Social Labor party, and at the conventions, sentiments of unpatriotic, defeatist peace were widespread, even getting as extreme as working with the Germans! Several sources of the money came from shifty and unconfirmed sources, and have been linked by espionage to be from similar sources causing agitation and anti-war sentiment in many other countries, including Italy, Austria, and England, and many of the similar sources of money have been traced to possibly even originate from Germany! With this evidence in front of us, it is clear that there could be a possibility of secret collaboration between the Socialists and the Germans, whether Debs knows or not, particularly in the extremely anti-war radical branches! Do not side with the socialists! They plan to undermine America for the evil Krauts!

OOC: This is based off of the Irish Race Conventions and the Hindu-German Conspiracy that were key ethnic issues during the 1920 presidential election OTL.

you had to say krauts in the title? you couldn't have just said Germans?
