I have a feeling RT is going to pull a massive surprise 
. Storywise it would be poetic justice if Browder's reign was to end from internal revolt rather than the secessionist armies invading the USSA. That too conducted and led by communists ! There wouldn't be private property but there would be democracy then. That would be interesting to watch *( I'm saying all this presuming of course that RT has a plan to get rid of Browder . Internal overthrow can be managed more easily in-game than creating a war with everybody )

Election of 1936: Communist Crossroads
Communist Party
Earl Browder, Age 45, Current President. After successfully securing the Communist Revolution's progress, he also ended the Polly War and greatly improved stability. Science funding is higher than ever, and happiness is through the roof. His plans for the next term are to further refine legislation, increase protection against foreign propaganda and terrorists, finish building of Browderville, hold the 1936 Summer Olympics, improve relations with Russia and Germany, and expand civil liberties. Wants to hold a postmortem trial against William Z. Foster to decide on his innocence during his oppressive reign.
James W. Ford, Age 43, New York Communist politician. In 1925, he was recruited by the Communist Party to expand labor unions through the African-American community. After being sent to Russia to improve relations towards communists and aid socialism, he became chairman of the League Against Imperialism and created several organizations which promoted black independence. Wishes to make Harlem a separate city, with key claims over important economic sectors. Wants to help communist causes around the world while improving world relations.
Tim Buck, Age 45, Canadian Communist politician. Unfathomably anti-Trotskyist, he wishes to increase funds for the search for Trotsky and his supporters. An extensive fighter for civil liberties, he wishes to increase freedom and transparency in the government. Wants to extend declarations of war to national referendums.
Oliver Law, Age 36, Chicago Labor organizer and military commander. With long history for fighting for unemployment benefits and homeless shelters, he was drafted during the Polly War scare. Leading armies in South America, he gained nationwide praise and awards. Wants to focus on regaining the American Empire and expanding civil liberties.
There was no opposition to the Communist Party
Ballot:
Communist Party 4
•Browder 1
•Ford 2
•Buck 1

Other
•Abstain 2
•Peaceful protest 0 (State region)

Are people the free republic of Australia allowed to vote? Also I dont know what everyone expected? I think the end result was probably the most likely and best result for either side, USA/USSA carries on, the independent states get their freedom and chance to make their own destinies.
I firmly believe that any change to the US must be made via democratic process now, give peace a chance people!

Joseph Lyons, former Labor premier of Tasmania, was elected Prime Minister following Stanley Bruce's defeat at the polls. He is considerably more conservative than Bruce, disbanding the national labor committee and instead stimulating the economy by proto-Keynesian economics. To further improve the economy, he cut government salaries and benefits. With world stability in mind, he is overseeing the peaceful transition of Indonesia and Turkey as Australian commonwealths. He has tried hard to re-start the United Nations, and although he has a neutral stance on war -- trying to avoid war with Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, or the USSA -- he has increased military spending.

Do you think all of the separate splinter states could unify and elect their own president?

All the splinter states have joined the Australian commonwealths, and the prime minister of Australia will follow actual history.

Riot or protest. You don't have to vote you know.
I wasn't taking part on revolution, but I can't stand these awful candidates anymore. Not only their plans are terrible, but also they are liars, deceivers and have transformed the US into a mess.
If I may I want to lead the riot in Central America and Northern South America. If I can only choose one, then is Northern South America. So this is a vote to riot.
Isn't there any descendant of Magnificent Lady Lockwood interested in this cause? We could create the Lockwood's Gran Colombia with that

String of Suicide Bombings, 200+ Dead, Mormon Group Proclaims Responsibility!
Today, a string of eight suicide bombings occurred in major cities across the Union of States, killing more than 200, and injuring over a thousand. The first attack occurred near the mayor's residence in New York City at 9:15 AM, where a man in a bomb vest blew himself up, killing at least fifty-seven people. Over the next few hours, similar attacks occurred in (listed in chronological order) San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Houston, Toronto, New Orleans, and the unfinished community of Browderville. All targeted government buildings, officials say. In addition to the loss of human life, property damage was extensive; officials estimate that not only would damages "reach into the millions," the completion of Browderville would be set back by around two months.
The aftermath of the Toronto bombing.*
Immediately after the Browderville bombing, a video was released by the Mormon terrorist group and guerrilla army The Base**, where its leader Francisco Kingston Tarantino (a former glassblower from Newark) claimed responsibility for the attacks. "These attacks," Kinghorn said in the video, "though they seem horrible, pale in comparison to the horrors that Browder and his ilk have committed...We started our struggle fearing that the Communists might be a threat to our religion, that they would destroy us for practicing our faith like the government did many times in the last century. However, over the course of these intervening years, we realize that they are not just a threat to religion, but to all of humanity. We fight in the name of those slain, whether they be Mormon or not, black or white, men or women...So come get us, Browder! We have been fighting you and your men for six years now, and you haven't made a dent in our capabilities! We know the terrain, the mountains, the nooks and crannies...the people here in Utah support us...You'll be facing a tough time defeating us. I wish you good luck."
Unsurprisingly, the Browder administration retaliated in kind. "We do not tolerate such affronts to security, peace, and happiness, such acts that amount to premeditated murder," Browder said in an address two hours after the Browderville bombing. "The American people need not to live in the shadow of these groups. We will expend all our resources in order to fight these Mormon terrorists, as well as their allies from their home base in Utah and from around the world. We will work hard, in order to expunge evils like them from the world."
Immediately, Browder declared a state of emergency and placed the nation under martial law. In particular, he sent military troops to all communities with populations greater than 25,000, for security and surveillance purposes. Browder also consulted with his military advisors on enacting a sustained bombing campaign against The Base, as well as sending in special forces in order to find and assassinate Kinghorn. He also requested other nations to freeze all assets owned by The Base stored overseas, and work against both The Base itself and other groups (mostly religious groups) that support it internationally.

*This is actually an image of the aftermath of a bombing in Beirut, Lebanon.
