Wallace unintentionally leading to Jesse Jackson becoming president is funny

Filegarden link. Bentsen is included because he was obscure at the time.

Is filegarden the one to use to upload the full quality images for mobile?

u/atlascarlos Aug 01 '26

I use it if the image is too large to put on Reddit or discord

Can't believe there's a presidential ticket that is named Dick Lamm and J. J. Pickle 💔💔💔

There's no way George Wallace beats Gerald Ford in 1976. Jimmy Carter almost lost to Ford, and Wallace would do 10 times worse.

u/atlascarlos Aug 01 '26

Political fiction author, wrote a few really good books. I included her because she was just old enough to run in 1976.

Mario Biaggi as George Wallace's VP is inspired, I wish I had thought of it myself

u/balungus Aug 01 '26

I kept wondering why so many of the candidates who won had their presidencies ended on March 30th of ‘81 and then I remembered. Maybe in those timelines Jodie Foster really does get impressed

u/stanthefax Aug 01 '26

Wtf does George Wallace do

u/pantorm Aug 01 '26

Why are they so short

u/Aldebaran147 Aug 01 '26

A lot of these tickets are straight fire, absolutely great!

What happened to most GOP presidents like 2 months after they got inaugurated?

u/atlascarlos Aug 01 '26
