Federalism trumps support for the French Revolution at this precarious point. National strength and improving relations with the British is our best hope for survival. Vote Adams, end impressment!

voting for jay and adams to keep the federalist party in power - i hope jay gets the most votes. i'd love to give hamilton power by voting for his puppet but i don't want open war with france. we might want to buy something from them in a few years...

Why not seize it outright for free? War with France, expand the frontier!

Thomas. That was a real nice declaration
Welcome to the present, we’re running a real nation
Would you like to join us, or stay mellow
Doin’ whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?
If we assume the debts, the union gets
A new line of credit, a financial diuretic
How do you not get it? If we’re aggressive and competitive
The union gets a boost. You’d rather give it a sedative?
A civics lesson from a slaver. Hey neighbor
Your debts are paid cuz you don’t pay for labor
“We plant seeds in the South. 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

A thing to remember about James Monroe (the loser who won this shitheap of an election and the farcical comedy of the election of 1820) and JQA (Monroe's Secretary of State and future Elective Majesty President) was that the Monroe doctrine was entirely serious when they made it. From the perspective of the US at this time, they were the premier player on the Americas. However, internal tensions, religious zeal, expansionism and loving Texans are a big part of the American identity for this period (Era of Good Feelings to the start of the Civil War). With this election, Jackson hasn't made politics an issue the common man thinks about yet so we're still dealing with times where an endorsement can come from a political enemy because the other option has no beliefs.

The common man was already thinking about politics, he just couldn't yet vote.

There's some kind of bizarre but great irony in how the majority of this thread aligns with what is the more conservative (with respect to its current political environment) party, and I can't help but love it.

Monroe seems like a pretty okay Democractic-Republican, but as usual the Federalists have it more right anyway. King/Ross

You best believe I'm going to correct the travesty that was 1824. No House to bail them out this time.

When your company's sainted founder is literally named James Crow, you have to choose between running away from that awkward association or donning it wholeheartedly like a pointy white hat.

I had to look that up and apparently Jim Crow and James C. Crow, distiller, are totally unrelated but surfaced within five years of each other. Weird.
