NationStates Elects the President

I was unaware you could have multiple polls in the same thread

You can't at the same time, but you can remove one to make another one. I archived the data from the previous ones.

I'm honestly surprised at NationStates. Jefferson is usually more popular than Adams in America, but here it appears that they like Adams more.

Vote federalist if you want order, trade, and industrial development.

Vote anti-federalist if you want French revolutionary violence and destruction, war with Britain, and general anarchy.

I don't believe the Jefferson years were anarchy, and the "Era of Good Feelings" took place in Democratic-Republican times.

Post is mostly in jest, but I probably should've indicated that.

In seriousness: Some of Jefferson's worst policies were his most anti-federalist ones (Embargo Act of 1807) while the Louisiana Purchase (his big win) was definitely "extra-constitutional" and in that way decidedly federalist in nature (even though they opposed it for the sake of opposing their political opponents).

So, why not vote for Mr. Jefferson? Dou you believe Mr. Adams is better?

WHHHYYYYYY?

[Ard al Islam]

Yes.

WHHHYYYYYY?

I am a Federalist(in the context of the 1790s). I prefer Federalism, Hamiltonianism, and Conservatism to the liberalism, radicalism, and anti-clericalism of the Democratic-Republican Party. Henceforth, I will vote for the Federalist every time.

I do have reason to believe that Thomas Jefferson was a Muslim, and if that's true, then he obviously has my vote.

You know what? I can reasonably assert that TJ was a Muslim. Switching my vote from Pinckney to Jefferson so I do Adams and Jefferson(which is kinda how it turned out in real life tbh).

Alternate US history is my thing, so I'm really geeking out over this thread

Wait, what? You're in support of the Federalists, yet are voting for the leader of the opposition?

I get two votes. So I vote once for Adams, and I'm voting for Jefferson, not because of ideology, but I have to support him because he was low-key a Muslim.

Well, as of now, it appears that Adams will be the president and Jefferson, the Vice-President.

Or, maybe not, Jefferson seems to be catching up.

Are you okay with the Alien and Sedition Acts?!

Are you okay with the Alien and Sedition Acts?!

Ironically, yes.

Unironically, yes.

[Procrast]

Okay as a non-American, vote for Aaron Burr since that's the guy in Hamilton

Same thing happened last time did this thread 2-3 years ago. As of now though, it seems a slight Jeffersonian victory is likely. Which is, in my opinion, good, as I voted for the Jefferson-Burr ticket.

Let's gooo!

By the way, if someone other than the real winner wins, then what? Because IRL Jefferson won.

So say, if Adams wins, will the next poll(1804) be between the real winner of 1800 and a challenger(Jefferson and Pinckney like IRL) or will the poll be between the winner of this election and some challenger that you have to imagine?

I recommend just keeping the candidates the same for every election, so even if Adams wins this contest, make the next one between Jefferson and Pinckney.

[Quasi-Stellar Star Civilizations]

Aaron Burr for the win!

I wrote in the OP when I started this "Successive elections will not be changed based on who won in the previous one". I think it is best to keep that.
