This but, instead of the Green Party, George Santos wins.
It will be a new day in America.
I think the funnniest realistic outcome is genocide joe wins and the gop tries the insurrection thing again. and fails. again.
Trump wins, libs do a jan 6, they actually succeed. But then they just name Nikki Haley president to be bipartisan.
Hillary is the vp in this scenerio
Have an insurrection every 4 years as a new American electoral tradition
This is deff one of the forms of liberalism but I would like to see them try it while the president isn't actively preventing the national guard from responding and watch chuds get lit up on the steps before they got within shit smearing distance of the front door.
Wouldn't ever happen but I love some good fash on fash violence.
synthesis: joe wins, then a jan 6 rerun where joe dies of natural causes while it's happening, and hilary inherits the presidency
The funniest outcome is if Biden dies, the Dems force the vote 
and she loses to Trump again.
This is the objectively correct take
Trump wins with Nikki Haley as VP, then they can't remove him without giving the Republicans the first female president.
Guns and Dope 2024 
she can win if you vote for her (pretend this is a Claudia emote)
There'd be an assassination the same day if it did.
They'd be assassinated rhe day they broke 10% in a poll.
Bold of you to assume the third party isn’t another ghoul
Source: 1992 election
really the only shot at it happening is an "october surprise" that involves biden/trump becoming very publicly incapacitated. like, fall down some steps and clonk the coconut on the concrete... never to be seen in public again. or insane ear bleed during a speech. not only that, but the institutional reaction to it would have to be a complete dogfuck. like neither side wants to admit their guy is a turnip hooked up to a bellows, but everybody knows it and their official/unofficial seconds go off script and shit the bed at seizing the moment such that there is no underlying sense of legitimacy to either party since the turnips are still at the top of the ballot, and their unlikable seconds are undermining their own tickets.
in this kind of context, with some imperial crisis looming and driving up gas prices, i could imagine a third party with a simple message and a known quantity for a face doing something.
I would pay an embarrassing amount of money for any audio technicians at the presidential debates to "forgot" to turn off hot mics for both the red-lawn-sign fascist and the blue-lawn-sign fascist. Nothing adventurous, nothing that might harm the physical or mental health of anyone on stage. Simply let them be themselves.
Guns N’ Dope would bring Chinese Democracy to amerikkka
Funniest possible?
I think it would be funnier if one of them was getting close to winning, dies unexpectedly from an aneurysm, and then right as the other is on some stage talking about that happening and what it means for the election they also die unexpectedly from an aneurysm.
Neither party would know what to do, and they would probably try to blame each other for assissinating those old fucks.
Dissapointingly unlikely tho
4 percent chance is not unlikely
i vote for the guns and dope party in every election
You would need an economic downturn, a broad loss of faith in political institutions, a sitting president very unpopular with their own party, and an opposition party with lackluster options of whom no one really stood out, and a popular figure with a lot of name recognition either from the business world or defecting from a major party to pick up the support. It would have to be a mix of what happened in 1920, 1968, 1992, and 2016.
Stein. I know people here are big on PSL but they don't have ballot access like the Greens do, and Stein is already a massive thorn in the DNC's side. I still have my 2016 sign, and since we're all playing reruns might as well.
If a third party president gets elected, how long do you think it would take for the CIA to blast their skull away?
:ross-perot-shining:
I’ve already conceptualized a scenario where Trump gets arrested, lowering his margins just enough for Biden to get 270 EVs, only for two faithless electors to switch to Trump. Trump dies sometime afterwards, leaving ‘Swamy up to be the US Liz Truss.
Vivek would be honestly kinda entertaining, even if he'd double down on child labor and other weird fasc shit.
FDR's fireside chats but it's just Vivek freestyling.
It's gonna be RFK.
I don't know, maybe have Cuba invade Florida during the election and no one will realize until they notice a lack of weird-shit-from-Florida news stories. Then they think it's just the other side lying to them to try and get more votes. At which point the neighbouring states will annex themselves into Cuba as a way to "own the libs" and start cosplaying as communists because they think it's funny. Soon, the entire culture begins to adopt communist ideals while calling themselves conservatives. The federal army can't fight to get the states back because they ran out of ammunition sending it to Ukraine and Isn'treal, and the only way to get enough is to ask China. So they are left with two soldiers per gun, and three guns per bullet.
Biden and Trump die in the most milk-toast MMA match you have ever seen, and Terry Cruise wins the election, leading the nation into the greatest electrolyte manufacturing boon known to history.
This either happens or it doesn't, so there is like a 50% chance of this future becoming a reality.
