NationStates Elects the President

Idea from the polls in Federation of Conservative Nations!

Basically, you vote in the poll here for the ticket you want to run the US (or who you want to destroy it!). We'll be going from 1789 until 2020, and we'll go by popular vote.
The poll will stay up for around 2-4 days, but that won't be for certain. You also may change your vote. Successive elections will not be changed based on who won in the previous one.

Current Election: 1896

You may discuss your vote and DEBATE BELOW! Note: This was not originally meant to be an RP thread, but it seems more exciting that way, so I guess so!

Personally, I voted for Washington, the hero of our nation. As VP, I voted for Hancock, because despite being a federalist, he agreed that a Bill of Rights should also follow the constitution.

George Clinton because he's the only Anti-Federalist and I always hate the popular thing! B)

You would be against the constitution? :meh:

Also, why are there so many votes for Mr. Lincoln?

Same except because a) we ought to be unitary, and b) the Constitution is imbalanced and just blech, plus c) Washington sucks.

Would you prefer the terrible Articles of Confederation? And why take Clinton over Washington?

I think the Federalists are favored to win this one

I would rather neother the Articles nor the Constitution, and I need to read up on Clinton

I don't think there was a candidate who opposed both (though I may be wrong).

If you prefer the Constitution, then the federalists would be the better pick.

There wasn't but the Anti-Federalists fixed the Constitution. Somewhat anyways.

Fixed, by adding the Bill of Rights, perhaps? I believe J. Hancock was in support of that, which is why I picked him for my other ticket.

Well, I wonder what kind of horrible alt-history we may see.

That's.......actually a good idea. Why am I voting for who I like, if I can instead destroy the country?

Nice to see this simulation going around again.

Yeah, I made this thing 2-3 years ago, but it went inactive because I CTE'd. Decided to bring it back now.

NO!

It's impossible for me to not think of the musician when I hear the name George Clinton anymore

Hey correct me if I'm wrong but isn't George Washington not a huge fan of being president? If so, may I suggest we vote for the other federalist candidate John Adams?

We may have to, as now it looks like it's a tie for VP.

Also, reminding everyone that they have 2 votes! Most people only voted once!
