There absolutely needs to be a strong central government, so the Democratic Republicans can all go suck it. Aaron Burr is sweet, but not the hero we need right now--we really need to establish John Adams owns bones, but I don't think he has the political clout right now to effectively get his policies passed. Washington to hold the union together, Adams to be waiting in the wings to step in and keep things going.

While a unified timeline is pretty clearly a lost cause, I'd love to get tidbits from history goons about what they think would be the result of any given goon election, like how not electing Washington would probably have just made the union collapse completely, or what getting colonial-era Frank Underwood (Aaron Burr) elected might have been like.

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.

Cast my vote for Bidwell! Full communism is all well and good, but I like my promises of reform to come from people who actually have a chance of pulling them off. Granted, actual prohibition is a poo poo policy that is only ever going to cause trouble, but he's not attempting to dismantle his own office and replace the entirety of the government and society with a completely new structure.

I think part of the fun of this is choosing between (heavily flawed) people, not generic candidates that we can project everything onto. I say mention them being there for curiosity's sake, but don't put them on the poll.
