I am voting for John Adams, because America needs an experienced leader now more than ever before. He has reigned for twelve years now, and America still has a proper republican process. To those naysayers among you who claim that he is ambitious, I answer you this: Thrice he was offered a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? He needs a Vice President who has proven to work well under Adams, which means either Burr or Jay. I am voting for Aaron Burr because Jay's position towards Britain is rather questionable, I think. The inhabitants of perfidious Albion are like rabid dogs, and there can be no reasoning with them. The only language they understand is that of powder and shrapnel. We need to stand with our French brothers in the battle against the vile cancer called the "United Kingdom", since we have now reached a point in time at which there are only two choices: Freedom, represented by France and the USA and tyranny as represented by Britain and its lackeys. Burr will keep Adams on the straight and narrow regarding the English question.

Pretty sure if Adams gets a fourth term he's going to crown himself.

John Adams is clearly fixing these SA elections, no doubt about that, and I won't stand by and let it happen again, especially after the better Adams lost last time around.

John Adams would never steep so low as to fix an election. The only reason he keeps winning these elections is that his boundless love for the people of this great country is reciprocated by the people in equal measure. If he wins again, we should change the name of the title "President" to "Adams" for simplicity's sake, IMHO. Failing that, I would accept naming the capitol after him.

The Vice President has earned his time to take over for His Highness, the President, who has broken with his party, the party of rulers and leaders, the Federalists. Mr. Hamilton's Southern proxy would be an excellent choice for President of the Senate to coalesce coalitions aligning with both Vice President Jay's interests and Mr. Hamilton's policies, giving us the closest to a true Hamilton government our nation is capable of. (drat Adams and that letter Mr. Hamilton wrote about him)

John Adams will continue to dominate these elections until he no longer runs...which will be fairly soon. We're going to need to take a break from the Adams clan for a couple of a elections too, which is pretty sad.

This is a terrible suite of candidates. John Adams is probably the best of the bunch, but he passed the awful, awful Alien and Sedition Act, Thomas Jefferson opposes that act which is nice, but the rest of his views are garbage and he's a garbage human being, Aaron Burr is made of nothing but raw ambition, Pinckney is a puppet that champions slavery, and John Jay is on the decline health-wise. John Adams/John Jay is still a reasonable ticket but urgh. Maybe that should read John Jay/John Adams, because while they're pretty clearly the best option I am holding my nose here.

The fruits of radical federalism finally come to roost. God I would vote for Thomas Jefferson so hard if he wasn't slaver scum. What is Burr's position on the annexation of Canada? Or, everyone's really. It's really important that monarchy is banished from the north american continent. Sort of disappointed I didn't see this thread earlier as I was tempted to make a lovely pamphlet about how tyrannical the constitution is for banning the printing of paper money by states. Also, like, not having for direct voting for most offices. That was also bad.

Why must this damned system always blow up in my face? Where is Paine with his Common Sense? We shall be returned to tribal society by the end of all this, the great Enlightenment of humanity as a sudden flash in the pan before we return to darkness. Adams must be stopped. The republic was going to break anyway. I'd rather us be feuding states to be picked off by France and Britain than live to see us make the same mistakes of absolute power and nobility that Adams and Burr threatens. Jay is the obvious choice, though even the support of the Alien and Sedition Acts is bad. Pickney is too strong on slavery, so that leaves me hesitantly voting for Jefferson. His Agarian Republic pipe dream will be built on the backs of slaves, and destroyed by the capitalists, but at least there is a chance that with public participation reason can prevail. Jay - Jefferson '00 for a Euphoric America.

For those interested in knowing how voting took place in 1800, The New Yorker's Party Time provides some delicious background. I would highly recommend the book that sparked this article, A Magnificent Catastrophe: The Tumultuous Election of 1800, America’s First Presidential Campaign by Edward Larson, for those that want to get knee-deep in the bizarre Election of 1800. Fortunately, I will not be trying to simulate the attempts by the Federalist Party to repeal the popular vote or the (likely innumerable) attempts at ballot-stuffing that occurred across the country. Fortunately, Google Drive is probably a little more secure than whatever mechanisms were used by the Founding Fathers to protect and tally the vote. quote:“As you love your country, fly to your polls,” the Gazette of the United States urged. But there was no “Election Day” in 1800. Voting stretched from March to December, and the President wasn’t chosen until February, 1801, just weeks before he took office. To get to the polls, you may have trudged through snow; you may have sweltered in the sun.

I think I'm going to have to vote for John Adams as President and John Jay as Vice President. I am disappointed that Samuel Adams was not elected as Vice President in the previous election, I only hope that the next election we will have more candidates from Massachusetts in the running.

In my mind there's no contest. John Adams is the only person standing between stability and complete chaos. Jefferson is an atheist lunatic and in alignment with Burr, who we all know is a nice guy, but still exploitative. Anyone who has picked up a newspaper knows Pinckney is a puppet, large, and a slaveowner. Adams/Jay '00 is the only way to go.

We create.” Yeah, keep ranting We know who’s really doing the planting And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment Don’t lecture me about the war, you didn’t fight in it You think I’m frightened of you, man? We almost died in a trench While you were off getting high with the French Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the President Reticent—there isn’t a plan he doesn’t jettison Madison, you’re mad as a hatter, son, take your medicine drat, you’re in worse shape than the national debt is in Sittin’ there useless as two shits Hey, turn around, bend over, I’ll show you Where my shoe fits

hamilton once argued that black people had "natural faculties as good as ours". he also said “women and children are rendered more useful, and the latter more early useful, by manufacturing establishments, than they otherwise would be.” he was also perhaps the first great american figure to admit to having an affair. i would like to vote for alexander hamilton

I hope Hamilton (the musical) will get enough support that we don't take Hamilton (the man) off the .
