We Can Do Better

The United States was founded on ideals that were meant to begin a new order of the ages for humanity, an age of liberty and progress. One of the mottos developed at the found is annuit cœptis, meaning "he favors our undertakings". In recent years, it can be suggested that our undertakings are not favored. A long period of increasingly partisan and rancorous politics and large divisions between people has taken hold of the nation. The last two decades have culminated in the 2016 presidential election, an election featuring two of the most disliked candidates in the history of the nation. With the house divided against itself, we can think back to one of John F. Kennedy's campaign slogans: WE CAN DO BETTER.

Point of Divergence
In 1968, Robert F. Kennedy decides not to run for president. Although Hubert Humphrey loses the election to Richard Nixon as per OTL, the Democratic Party does not adopt the system of superdelegates. Kennedy eventually goes on to receive his party's nomination in 1976 and becomes president.
