I agree that what you have planned for Roosevelt is a more fitting end for him personally. At the same time, an endemic failure of leadership at the end of GWI would create an appetite in the US for kicking over the apple cart that would serve the McSweeneys of the world better. However you want to do it, though.

The transformation of the SPUSA over the course of TL-191 is. . . tricky. I'd say Flora stayed closer to the party's radical roots longer than most of her colleagues, who seem to have embraced a headlong run into New Labour territory in the 1920s. Still, radical doesn't preclude pro-system, and Flora never would have participated in electoral campaigns if she weren't pro-system. Of course you're changing things early enough that she doesn't have to do that, and I'm pretty sure HT had already given up on his original plans for her when he sent her to Philadelphia; less Rosa Lux, more Jeanette Rankin.
