I know the Democrats were decimated in the Presidential election but is it a passing thing, like the Republicans issue in 1912, or is it more of a permanent thing, with the Progressives around to stay?
I am thinking of making a character (ditching my draft for NJ Gov) that could try and repair the Democrat/Progressive rift.

The staying power of the Progressives is still TBD. If they can shed the rich white guilt image that they've accidentally brought on themselves, and if the Democrats don't move left to make the Progs obsolete, they may have a chance.

My character I am planning right now is my attempt to bridge the gap.
Blue collar progressive Democrat, Senator from a blue state (idk which yet), Warren-esque really I suppose.

TG me when they get accepted. Nicole Smith, my Illinois Representative, is a progressive Democrat who would like the Democrats to move farther left so that the progressives don't have a special niche with the far left anymore.

Character Height: 5'9
Character Weight: 190
Character Position/Role/Job: Candidate for Senate
Appearance: White/athletic, strong-jawed, brown hair/blue eyes
Character State of Origin: CA
Character Party Affiliation: Fascist Party USA
Main Strengths: Calm and collected, handsome, charismatic, excellent small group talker
Main Weaknesses: Some trouble addressing large groups, ideology stigmatized by history, dosn't base a whole lot of his arguments purely on numbers/facts.
Biography: Born in northern CA, Chase grew up in a quiet rural town and lived a mostly normal life. After a healthy childhood he graduated high school and went on to join the Army. After serving his term in the military police he left and became a political activist. He favored small meetings and gatherings and found inspiration in ancient Rome and other empires. A highly nationalistic individual he then began to preach fascistic thought and ideals. He twisted Fascism to his own flavor, one with more classic touches. He sought to bring people from all backgrounds together as Americans, not because of color or creed. Growing up in very liberal areas caused problems, with even death threats made against his life. Local socialists and moaists were the worst of enemies.
He then decided to move to the east coast in CT and is a relatively new resident. Now he has started a campaign to run for senator of the state. He hopes that even if he doesn't win he can garner some support for future elections and hopefully a broader movement to create a more friendly fascist face in the states. He now runs his own small party which hasn't grow very much and isn't recognized by many of his opponents.
Other Info:
Note: Chase is a gay(which has gotten him support and hate) and refuses to use personal attacks on his opponents stating that " My ideals are stronger than that"

Sort of a simple don't backstab someone who can stab you back sort of thing. Thing is, LGBT action knows that it was Hook that bankrolled and organized the whole thing. Now that ANN has turned on them fully, they've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by outing him
So the next public announcement we're going to see is LGBT action revealing the whole protest was Hookstraten's baby

So Professor Blythe offered himself up as a compromise candidate with Longwood, another Libertarian contender, as VP. Many got behind him but many also didn't, so the convention was a disaster. I think flores jumped someone and the riot started.

Breck was innocent, though, and he is known to be IC. I think so, at least

A Libertarian Party if they want to go anywhere would have to adopt dogwhistling and attacks on hated minorities(atheists, Muslims) to try and swing the South

Lel, I have a feeling neither of these two men want anything to do with that.
Kelvs, I just have to say, you seem to seriously mischaracterize the entire south as a boiling cesspool of festering rascism and rampant bigotry.
