The workers daily is an affront to the idea of a newspaper, its bias and lies make a mockery of the idea of free and impartial reporting. there is little evidence that it is anything but a propaganda tool for communists seeking to smear their rivals and play a pivotal role in the communist negative campaign.
I think the supreme court needs strengthening as a way to provide a restriction on the political power of increasingly divided politicians.

Capitalists are the one slandering us! Calling us vile heathens and murderers. This is untrue as we were the ones being attacked by the democrats under Wilson.

This was because Wilson was attacked and shot first and some communists nearly derailed the election.

No. The bill was passed then he was shot. I agree the election fraud was bad, but that's because Wilson would screw us up and he did!

Surely Wilson being shot just proves how necessary his measure was? The communists brought Wilson's measures on themselves and now try to hide behind fabricated claims of oppression to justify their terrorism.

Just because Islamic extremists destroy a building doesn't mean we oppress Islam. The assassin was just that, an extremist

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

We have a charter prepared and a plan ready to bring political peace. If the capitalist parties aren't full of and willing to give peace a chance it should work. We'll come out with it once the election results are declared.
The war against fascism
From a journalist of NY times.
Currently USA fights a double battle, a battle against violence in the interior and in the exterior. In the interior we have seen the rise of extremism from both sides and in the exterior the rise of Germany against Europe.
Germany is the big enemy of Europe. An enemy capable of gaining power, ruthless hungry for Lebersnaum. The war crimes of Germans are a shame for humanity. We must continue the war until the end. Now, is the chance, because tomorrow it will be too late.
On the other hand extremism is the big interior enemy. Let's see what's all that about. Why extremism is on rise? Ironically, our democracy is threatened by itsself. We are a free country, we are free to decide our destiny, we are a democratic nation and we should remain so. Extremism appeared by actions against our democracy. Riged elections and outlawing parties are signes of a failed democracy, and it is time to put an end of this. Majority rules, it always ruled, and we should trust it. We should let Labourists to fulfil their aim, and in exchange they should respect the system. That's how democracies work, with respect and elections. Moreover, elections are won by actions and not words.
My vote goes to Debs.

Communists demand a decision to go to war should be made to a popular vote.

1920 Election Campaign
-moved-
"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 8
•Harding 8
Socialist Party 13
•Debs 13
Other 0
•Protest 0 (declare region in which you are protesting)
•Secession 0 (declare region which you aim to gain control of)
(should be around 4 more voters)
(Furthermore, in the next election I will include Australian, Irish, South African, and Canadian candidates.)
(4 hours left of election)

Lockwood and the Water-Gate Scandal
First mentioned in Avery Dudley's "An Essay on the Status of the Negro" in passing, people became interested in the possibility of Lockwood's first victory being rigged. When interviewed by the press, Dudley cited Shawn Gallenger's Treatise of the Americas, Volume III (which is notably hard to read; Reimer famously claimed that it makes "Marx's Kapital look like a New England primer"). Within days of investigation, the people and the press "concluded" that Lockwood and the Equalists did agree to the withdraw of federal troops from the South in exchange for enough electoral votes for a victory. Lockwood's historical popularity dropped significantly (though more about corruption than about the result on the Negro population). Defenders cited the Anti-Racism Act of 1885 as proof that Lockwood did not completely renege on the Equalists' promise of equality; meanwhile, some, like Dudley, claim that Reconstruction was already dead by the time of Lockwood's election.
While the majority of people call the scandal the Lockwood Scandal, many also call it the Water-Gate scandal, after the two main arbitrators of the deal: Marcus Water (of the Democrats) and Carl "Cricket" Gate (of the Equalists). Thus began the infamous tradition to coming up with scandal names by adding "-Gate" to things, such as...
Baseball-Gate, Series-Gate, Sox-Gate, Rothstein-Gate, etc.
The 1919 World Series concluded with the Cincinnati Crimsons (formerly the Reds; the name was changed in wake of the Wilson Red Scare) winning 5 games, while the Chicago White Sox won 3. The game itself, however, was overshadowed by a scandal (which as one could see, came with many names). There, several White Sox players conspired to intentionally lose, in order to earn money from gamblers. These players were caught and, though they were acquitted in court, they would be banned for life from playing baseball.
Among the participants in the conspiracy was Jewish mobster Arnold Rothstein. As a professional mobster, he was adept at covering his tracks such that he was untoucable by the police. However, in this case the police were able to track him on counts of tax invasion (thanks in part due to the Tax Reform Act of 1919, which mandated the inclusion of "illegal income" when doing taxes). However, before he could be arrested, Rothstein was found dead in his swimming pool, presumably a case of suicide. These events would inspire F. Scott Fitzgerald to write The Great Gatsby in 1925.
OOC Notes:
- The Lockwood/Water-Gate Scandal is inspired by the Compromise of 1877, where federal troops were removed from the South in exchange for Rutherford B. Hayes becoming President.
- I was inspired to mention the 1919 World Series after reading The Great Gatsby. However, both the fixing (known OTL as the Black Sox Scandal) and Rothstein were real.
- Questions for RT: 1. Can we make fictional political parties? and 2. Is the "Equalist" monkier a reference to The Legend of Korra?
