#there was a strategic adjournment to lock his supporters out of the building for a final ballot

Just FYI, the last time “why bother, both parties are the same” was a remotely true statement was the Dewey vs. Truman race in 1948. Please register to vote.
#not coincidentally that was right before the Republican and Democratic parties solidified into their current political climates#the Southern Democrats who were like social programs are good but keep it to whites#committed about 50 felonies to get Truman on the veep ticket and oust Wallace#they literally manipulated the order of names on the ballots to make ppl think Roosevelt wanted Truman#they gaslit a slowly dying old man that his chosen successor was turning on him#there was a scandal about the design of the DNC entrance tickets and wallaces supporters voting strategy was used against them#there was a strategic adjournment to lock his supporters out of the building for a final ballot#Wallace not being VP when Roosevelt died is the single greatest American political tragedy of the 20th century#but what about bush v gore wrong century and gore would’ve won in a landslide in the aftermath of Wallace 1948 and likely also 1952#the highway system might be completely different tho#but we’d have more rail
