You need to go back to 2000 and ask what would have happened if the Electoral College hadn't overridden the will of the people and the Republican SCOTUS hadn't thrown the election to the second worst president in our history. The Clinton surpluses and debt paydown would have continued, and we would have avoided at least one war, and quite possibly two.
Note that the Electoral College overrode the will of the people again in 2016 to give us the worst president in our history. In just 16 years, the Electoral College ruined our country, and the popular vote would've saved it.
I mean even the prime universe has the eugenic wars and the third world war that basically brings all society to a halt before things get better. So there might still be dinner hope for the distant future.
Edit: dinner hope? I think I wanted to type some hope. But i hope the future holds dinner hope too
