Also, yes, I know this has been done before. Red Foreman: Nixon/Reagan Democrat, now probably staunchly Republican but despises most of the richer variety. As well despises athiests, immigrants, gays, etc. so probably a Republican. Aside from the bigotry, my kind of guy though he'd probably call me a "dumbass". Kitty Foreman: Wants everyone to get along, much more susceptible to liberalism than Red, but has a strong family values/mother instinct that could keep her voting for the "moral majority" candidates. Eric Foreman: Cares more about Star Wars than what's on the news channels, but would probably be whipped up like the rest of the nation with Obama for the first few months. Another reason why Red might call him a "dumbass". Kelso: I remember him wearing a "Jimmy Did It '76" T-shirt, so Democrat it is. Jackie: Snob Republican, believes in typical gender roles, superiority of the rich, that immigrants play a specific and undesirable role, etc. While definitely not favoring any of the moralistic or masculine aspects of Conservatism, would vote for the candidate that her type of arrogance agrees with. Steven Hyde: Cynical, fight the power type person, probably a leftist-Libertarian with an individualistic, rugged or otherwise, streak. If not voting either for Obama or a Libertarian, would probably write-in the name of a rock star.

Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Jacobtm on November 05, 2011, 12:45:34 AM 30 Rock. Liz - Tell everyone she's voting Obama, then vote for Huntsman. Jack - Mitt Romney Tracy - Obama Jenna - Obama Kenneth - Rick Perry Liz would definitely forget to vote after making a big show about how important voting is. Kenneth is on record saying it's a sin to vote Democrat or Republican Jack: “If Mr. Bright here told you to vote Republican, would you do it?” Kenneth: “Oh no, sir. I don’t vote Republican or Democrat. Choosing is a sin, so I just usually write in the Lord’s name.” Jack: “That’s Republican. We count that.” Tracy is either a Kucinich voter or a Republican, depending on whom he's talked to last: “My fellow Black Americans, Dr. King once had a dream. A dream that we all share. To build a 200-foot-high wall to keep Mexico out. And he also hated the estate tax. The Republican Party means less taxes, more guns, and the end of the gun tax.'' Dennis comes out as a Fiscal Liberal, Social Conservative, so what's that, Ahmedinijad? Jack is way too conservative for Romney. He'd be a Perry or Cain guy. He loves testing poison on gorillas and the like. Moratorium on all regulations, 9% corporate tax rate, that kinda stuff would be like crack to him.

Jack might be ultra-conservative on economic matters, but on social issues, despite being an Irish-Catholic, I don't expect him to be opposed to abortion. Anti-immigrant, probably anti-gay sure, but I don't imagine he, a childless (okay, I'm going off older episodes) womanizer CEO would really care about the debate over whether something is human or merely something to be killed as long as it doesn't come to him asking for child support. Maybe after he has his child, he might change, but until then, I doubt he'd care. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: CT27 on November 12, 2011, 09:02:04 PM Since people have brought up the Ninja Turtles, here's how I think they'd vote:
Leonardo-Obama Raphael-Romney Michaelangelo-Paul Donatello-Kucinich Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: FEMA Camp Administrator on November 12, 2011, 09:07:20 PM I can see Raph as a 2009 Giuliani voter for some reason. Mikey definitely goes for Obama in 2008. Leonardo, the sensible leader, goes for McCain. Not sure how Donatello goes. Probably some technocratic candidate with a devotion to science and environmental issues.

O'Neill - Most likely an Independent. Doesn't have much love for the 'holier than thou' type politicians based on his opinion of Kinsey, so that cuts out the christian right from the equation. Probably jumps a lot between candidates and parties. Could also see him abstaining, but then again it's been established that he is smarter than he looks. Carter - Moderate Democrat. Jackson - Bleeding heart liberal in the early stages of the show, probably takes a more pragmatic stance as the show progresses, but he generally remains left of centre on the major issues. Teal'c - (Handwaving the fact that he can't vote). Would abstain since he'd consider all the candidates to be too dishonorable for his liking. Hammond - Gonna guess Republican and probably a McCain supporter. Jonas - Hmm... this is a tough one since we sadly never did see a lot of him. Gonna say Independent or possibly Democrat based on his fight for détente back on his homeworld. Mitchell - Republican. I'm getting the feeling that he's not very far to the right on social issues, so I'm placing him as in the McCain/Huntsman/Romney camp. Landry - Quite frankly, I'm just not sure. Vala - Probably wouldn't care enough to vote. Stargate Atlantis Weir - Established as being against the proliferation of weapons and an anti-war protestor in her youth. Democrat. Sheppard - Independent. McKay - Conservative (or possibly Liberal) home in Canada, Democrat in the US. Beckett - Lib Dem in the UK, Democrat in the US. Teyla - Not sure. Ronon - Abstains. Ford - Not sure. Keller - I wanna say Democrat, but I'm not sure why... Woolsey - Registered Independent. Stargate Universe Rush - Conservative in the UK, conservative Democrat in the US. Young - I'm leaning towards saying Republican. Fiscally conservative, social moderate. Scott - Republican. Greer - Probably doesn't vote since I don't see him putting much faith in politicians. Eli - Probably doesn't bother to go voting, but when he does he votes Dem. Chloe - Her father was a Senator from California which is a pretty liberal place, so I'm going out on a limb by saying that both she and her father are/were Democrats. TJ - Could go either way. Wray - Is homosexual which probably rules out Rick Santorum. I'm gonna say that she is a conservative Democrat, fiscally moderate-conservative/social liberal.

Yoshi: Green Party, so he can keep all the fruit fresh. Wario: Romney obviously. Link: Johnson, he's the only one who would let Link take all those weapons everwhere. Zelda: See Peach. Ganondorf: Himself Toon Link: See Link. Samus: Blonde Republican Sex Kitten. Bounty-hunting is right-wing. Pit: Young. Youngs are liberal. Obama. Ice Climbers: Occupied with mountain climbing. R.O.B.: Whoever he's programed to vote for. Kirby: Eats the machine, becomes Vothing Machine Kirby! Meta Knight: Romney King Dededee: Fat King that likes to steal food... Johnson Captain Olimar: Swing voter in this election. He supports war, as do Obamney. Fox McCloud: Romney, because of what Obama did to the space program. Gingrich in the Primary.

I would say Ron Paul or Herman Cain. One of the stronger fiscal conservatives.
Oh, and one more: Jenny Wakeman (XJ9) from My Life as a Teenage Robot. My guess would be Mitt Romney. Anybody who is tough on crime, supports gun rights, the pipeline, and drilling offshore/in Alaska. I could see her supporting Obama though... (of course, she'd be too young to actually vote, since her body was only five years old and she was designed as a 15/16-year old.) Of course, she probably would also support reforming Skyway Patrol. Tell me what you think. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Oldiesfreak1854 on July 19, 2012, 11:30:16 AM I'm not crazy about SpongeBob, but here's my list for those characters:
SpongeBob: Obama. Patrick: Obama. Sandy: Romney, Perry in the primary (since she's from Texas). Squidward: Obama in a heartbeat (or himself as a write-in.) Mr. Krabs: Romney, probably Paul or Cain in the primary (and hands down for Ross Perot in '92.) Pearl: Too young, but Obama if she were old enough. Plankton: would try to overthrow the government and make himself dictator. Otherwise, Obama (against competition in private business) or himself as as a write-in. MermaidMan and BarnacleBoy (RIP Ernest Borgnine): Romney on both counts, to fight crime/EEEEE-VILLLL! More characters from elsewhere: Grumpy (from Snow White): Newt Gingrich. Dr. Mario: Romney (repeal Obamacare) Donald Duck: Gingrich. Brad Carbunkle (from MLAATR): Too young to vote, but would be a swing voter (young and thus likely to support Obama but also supports Skyway Patrol.) Mrs. Wakeman (also from MLAATR): Also a swing voter. Likely a supporter of strong national defense, but concerned that Republicans are "anti-science". Misty (MLAATR, not Pokemon): Romney, as she is a ninja and he is probably tougher on crime. Melody and Vega (MLAATR): Romney for both because of drilling offshore and in Alaska, as well as the pipeline from Canada. Tuck (MLAATR): Too young to vote, but probably wouldn't anyway. Sheldon (MLAATR): Too young to vote, but nerdy, so I would guess he'd support either Gingrich or Obama in the primary and Obama in the general. The Crust Cousins: Obama, because he is the cool, hip, "popular" candidate. (But still too young to vote.) Kim Possible: Swing voter, but probably Romney because he would be stronger on national defense. Captain America: Romney, for the same reason, and also to prevent America from becoming a dictatorship akin to Nazi Germany of Fascist Italy. Mallard Fillmore: any Republican. Pteresa (MLAATR): Obama, for the same reason as the Crust cousins, though still not old enough to vote.

Archie: If he even bothered to vote, Virgil Goode Jr. Would have supported Perry and maybe Gingrich in the Republican primaries, but can't see Archie supporting any other prominent Republican in the 2012 race, for the following reasons:
Gloria - Obama or Green Party Mike - Obama or Green Party, I can see Mike in particular angry enough at Obama's performance to make a protest vote. George - Would support Cain in the primaries, but settle for Romney in the election. Wouldn't be fond of having a "zebra" in the White House. Louise - Not sure, might be like Edith and watch the debates first. Lionel - Obama or Green Party Frank - Obama Irene - Obama Barney - Romney Three's Company Jack - Obama or Johnson Janet - Obama Chrissy - Obama Cindy - Romney Terri - Depends on who she thinks has the better health policy. Mr. Roper - Romney Mrs. Roper - Might tell Mr. Roper she's voting Romney, but make up her own mind. Mr. Furley - Romney Lana - Whoever she fancied more Larry - Johnson, so his used car dealership didn't get seized. Mr. Angelino - Romney Cheers & Frasier Sam - Can't see him voting to be honest. Diane - Obama Coach - Romney maybe? I can see him being more of a Republican than a Democrat though. Carla - Obama, might vote Republican in a good year for them. Norm - Whoever cuts taxes on alcohol, so out of the current crop of candidates, Johnson. Cliff - Romney, especially with Romney hailing from Massachusetts. Frasier - Obama Woody - Whoever his folks back in Hanover are voting for. Lilith - Obama Gary - Whoever has a more favourable opinion, just to rub it in Sam's face Rebecca - Bachmann in the primary, Romney in the election. Kelly - Romney Robin - Romney Martin - Cain, Perry or Gingrich in the primary, Romney in the election. Niles - Obama Roz - Not sure, Obama maybe? Daphne - Obama, I can see her being a Labour or Lib Dem voter back in the UK too. Bulldog - Romney Kenny - Romney Gil - Maybe Romney? Noel - Whoever likes Star Trek more. Married... with Children Al - See Norm in my Cheers & Frasier entry. Peggy - Obama, in hope for more welfare money that she can spend on home shopping and bon-bons. Kelly - Whoever looked better to her Bud - Obama Steve - Swing voter Marcy - Romney Jefferson - See Peggy. Griff - Cain in the primary, Romney in the election. Peggy's relatives in Wanker County - Whoever didn't bother them. Rest of the No Ma'am group - Anyone that isn't Bachmann Family Ties Steve & Elyse - Obama or Green Party, much like Mike and Gloria from All in the Family, I can see them being angry enough with the Obama administration to do a protest vote. However, the Keatons live in swinging Ohio, not safe Democratic New York. As a result, Steve and Elyse might vote Obama just to keep the Republicans out. Alex - Romney, although he would have supported Cain or Paul in the primaries. Mallory - Whoever she thought was the best looking, much like Kelly from Married... with Children. Can see her preferring a Republican though. Jen - Obama Andy - Same as Alex, if his young self is an indication of what he'll be like as an adult. Skippy - Whoever Mallory is voting for. Love Thy Neighbour (UK show) Eddie - BNP, having been expelled from the Labour party in the 1990s. Joan - Labour Bill - Conservative Barbie - Conservative or Lib Dem Arthur - Conservative or UKIP Jacko - Labour Nobby - Labour Dad's Army (UK show) Capt. Mainwairing - UKIP, Conservative if they had the right candidate Sgt. Wilson - Conservative Lance Cpl. Jones - Labour Pvt. Frazer - Labour Pvt. Walker - Most likely wouldn't vote, if he did, UK Pirate Party. Pvt. Godfrey - Conservative Pvt. Pike - Lib Dem or Conservative ARP Warden Hodges - Conservative Mrs. Pike - Lib Dem Mrs. Fox - Labour Since most of the King of the Hill is fairly conservative, lets do the Republican Primary Hank Hill: Mitt Romney Peggy: Rick Santorum Bobby: Ron Paul Luanne: Michelle Bachmann Dale: Ron Paul Boomhauer: Mitt Romney Bill: Newt Gingrich Cotton: Rick Santorum Buck Strickland: Rick Perry or Herman Cain Mr. Libertarian, I think Hank would support Perry, not Romney in the Republican primary. Also, Dale wouldn't vote, as he drives to Mexico on election day. If he did vote, yes, he would be a Paul supporter. I'm not crazy about SpongeBob, but here's my list for those characters: SpongeBob: Obama. Patrick: Obama. Sandy: Romney, Perry in the primary (since she's from Texas). Squidward: Obama in a heartbeat (or himself as a write-in.) Mr. Krabs: Romney, probably Paul or Cain in the primary (and hands down for Ross Perot in '92.)

Post by: Person Man on January 04, 2013, 02:43:08 PM Homer Simpson - Wait, so there's another Homer Simpson on the show? :P Romney, as the clip showed. Marge Simpson - She's stated that she voted for Carter twice, and is a big supporter of the Democratic Governor of the state that Springfield is in. So Obama. Bart Simpson - Rebellious and sometimes a conspiracy theorist. Either Gary Johnson or Jeff Boss. Lisa Simpson - Staunch environmentalist, gay rights activist and pacifistic. Probably Jill Stein. Maggie Simpson - Very fond of guns, it seems. Virgil Goode? Grandpa Simpson - Has bashed the Democrats numerous times on the show. Romney. Nelson - Johnson Comic book guy - Johnson Ned Flanders - Write-in: Bachmann Todd Flanders - Him and his brother are strongly implied to be gay in a futuristic episode. Probably Obama. Rod Flanders - See above. Chief Wiggum - Romney Ralph Wiggum - Boss Monty Burns - Romney (most obvious one yet!). Mr. Smithers - Would tell Mr. Burns that he's a Romney supporter, but would in fact vote for Obama. Fat Tony - Romney Snake - Johnson Hans Moleman - Always needs healthcare. Obama. Duffman - Romney Dr. Nick Riveria - Johnson Edna Krabappel - Obama Lionel Hutz - Romney Professor Frink - Obama Mayor Joe Quimby - Obama (he's a Democrat). Captain Horatio McCallister - Romney Patty - Obama (she's a lesbian). Selma - Romney (because he's the best looking candidate). Otto Mann - Johnson Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel - Romney Lenny - Obama Carl - Obama Barney - Obama Moe - Obama Willie - Obama (he's Scottish). Superintendent Chalmers - Romney Principle Skinner - Romney Apu - Obama Milhouse - Johnson Krusty the Clown - Romney Good analysis of The Simpsons characters, Mitt Montgomery Burns!

Willie: He lives in suburban SoCal and works at social services. Obama. Kate: Seems like the classic suburban soccer mom, so Obama. Raquel Ochmonek: Could see her voting either way, but my guess would be Obama. Trevor Ochmonek: Romney (most likely--he's a Korean War veteran, and he strikes me as fitting the stereotype of a conservative more.) Alf: Ineligibile to vote since he's an alien, but would probably write himself in. Lynn: Not sure whether she was old enough to vote on the show, but she would be now. If she stayed the same in that time, then probably Obama. If she matured a bit, though, I could see her going for Romney. Brian: Definitely not old enough to vote on the show, but also would be now. Again, probably Obama. A side note: Willie and Kate, by nature of being suburbanites in Southern California, probably would have voted mostly Republican until 1992, and Democrat from 1992 onward. Of course, the show ended in 1990, so I guess they would've still been friendly to the GOP at that time. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: MASHED POTATOES.

Walt - Hmmm... His current position would make one think libertarian. Previous to that however, he may have been a Democrat due to his position as a public school teacher. However, he also would've been not necessarily socially liberal. As well it's worth nothing he tries to be self reliant to a fault. Gonna go out on a limb and say Johnson for the time being. Jesse - Not a voter, didn't know that his pseudonym of "Jesse Jackson" was vaguely associated with anything else. A capitalist of course, but with nonetheless instincts to be dependent on others. If he had to choose anything it might be Johnson. Skyler - A not necessarily political person. I have a feeling she'd prioritize family and disability issues if she were a voter. Maybe since she represents the "soccer mom" demographic, we can say Obama. Hank - DEA agent with some prejudices. Easiest one so far, definitely Romney. Marie - A kleptomaniac who's been described as "spoiled". Could be anyone. Maybe she follows her husband's lead and votes Romney, though for all we know she would just take as many ballots as possible and head home with them.

There are few characters that have displayed overt political philosophies, and a number of them which I assume may be a political. Given their residence in New York, their vote narrows it down.

Mikasa is a racial minority. (Granted, not one with which the actual Nazis had problems, obviously, but in the context of the story...) I would picture her and Eren as more staid, Hindenburg-style military conservatives, likelier than not to be independent voters biddable by a variety of rightist or nationalist factions, who would be in significant danger of being co-opted either soon before or soon after 1933. DVFP for example I can sort of see. 2. Connie strikes me as a Zentrum type, honestly. 3.

Hmm that is true for Mikasa (who discounting her race, would actually be quite similar to the conservative Prussian officers of the Wehrmacht) but considering Eren's enthusiasm for slaughtering Titans, I think he'd be easily swept by the NSDAP's tide.

Should have added Ostfront "as portrayed by German propaganda". Quote I might do this with current Japanese political parties later.

Hatcher Family Warren - Advertising executive, likely conservative. Nixon/Reagan/Bush/Bush Anne - A fairly traditional housewife, who later becomes a dental assistant. Nixon/Reagan/Bush/Gore Peter - While he's only 9-12 years old in the series, he supports more public transportation in NYC, and is also concerned about air pollution. Doesn't seem to be anti-establishment or rebellious though. McGovern/Anderson/Bush/Gore Fudge - Loves money, and although he tampers with private property, significantly Peter's, in the earlier books, this is because of his youth. Purely going from his love of money: Hospers/Reagan/Paul/Bush Tootsie - Only two years old in the final book, it's very hard to tell (and I haven't read the books with Tootsie in them in years), so I won't analyze Tootsie. Grandma Muriel - Seems like a moderate to me, so Nixon/Anderson/Bush/Gore Cousin Howie - Hawaii park ranger, who's not a fan of TV, junk food, school and pop music to name a few things. McGovern/Mondale/Dukakis/Nader Cousin Eudora - Voice of reason of the "Howie Hatchers", and a bit more conservative than her husband. McGovern/Anderson/Dukakis/Gore Flora and Fauna - Spolied tween girls, possibly apolitical. Mini-Farley - Probably apolitical, and not enough is mentioned to give him a leaning. Other characters Jimmy Fargo - Son of an actor-turned-artist, most likely left-leaning.McGovern/Anderson/Dukakis/Gore Sheila Tubman - Would probably go against Peter just to spite him. Nixon/Reagan/Dukakis/Gore Libby Tubman - Prides herself as being sophisticated, so perhaps a conservative for the most part, with the exception of 1964-style elections. Nixon/Reagan/Bush/Bush Mr. and Mrs. Tubman - Seem like stereotypical American parents to me. Nixon/Reagan/Bush/Gore Frank Fargo - Actor turned artist who lives in SoHo? Definitely a progressive. McGovern/Mondale/Dukakis/Nader Henry Bevelheimer - Intelligent man, would be put off by anti-intellectualism. Hospers/Anderson/Bush/Gore Might update this later with some of the other characters, namely the Princeton characters in Superfudge.

Also, apparently the most recent season goes up to '68, so maybe we'll see that. RE: Peggy: In that exact same season 4 scene where she says she would have loved to do ad work for Goldwater, she says she voted for Johnson. And we know in season 1 that she likes Kennedy as he is Catholic. In season 6, she says to her boyfriend Abe (a Eugene McCarthy-ite) "I like Bobby Kennedy..." an episode or two before he is shot. That last one is one of my favorite Peggy line reads. Also, Peggy has a portrait of JFK in her apartment for most of the series. If Mad Men were running for another season, I wouldn't be surprised to see a storyline where Peggy gets involved with Shirley Chisholms campaign as many women in NYC did. As for Pete, he definitely voted for Nixon in 1960 but in a season 6 scene he says with disdain about his neighbor "He voted for Goldwater" so we can assume Pete voted for Johnson in '64. I suspect Betty voted for JFK in season 1, but kept it hidden from Don which is the context where she says something about Nixon. I agree with you about Don, I doubt he voted in 1960. If he did vote in 1964 (which he might have, he was pretty happy that year), he voted Johnson. In the end of season 6, he complains at a bar that Nixon is President, suggesting he doesn't support him. As a veteran Don vehemently opposes the war. I don't think he voted in 1968 either. If he did it was reluctantly for Humphrey. Roger Sterling definitely voted Nixon in '60 and '68. Not sure what he did in '64. Bert Cooper has an adorable line read in season 6 where he mischievously says "Nixon's lying in wait," so he definitely supported him in '68. There's a pretty funny scene in season 6 where Ted Chaugh gets drunk and instigates a conversation about who everybody supports.

Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Bigby on September 16, 2014, 04:36:24 PM TF2 Characters:
The American classes: Scout - Assuming he isn't apolitical, I can see him as being a Rockefeller Republican. His mother is a rather conservative-looking housewife, and knowing how big of a Momma's boy Scout is, he most likely lets his mother influence his political views. He MIGHT have voted for Humphrey in 1968, but chances are he voted for Nixon instead. If he bothered to vote in a primary, it would be for Rockefeller. Unless he becomes more liberal or less dependent on his mother by the time of Mann vs Machine, he most likely voted for Nixon again in 1972. Engineer - The Engineer is your average blue collar southern man. Well, apart from having 11 PhDs. He is very likely to be a conservative Blue Dog Democrat. Since he appears to be rather racially tolerant, it is unlikely would support Wallace in 1968. As such, I think he would vote for Humphrey in 1968 but definitely would vote for Nixon rather than McGovern in 1972. Soldier - I am not even sure he can read. If he can, he probably doesn't leave his apartment to vote. He is too stupid and insane to participate in regular politics. The European Classes: The Heavy: The Heavy is far more intelligent than he appears in the game, but remember that the Soviet Union is a one-party dictatorship, so no meaningful elections take place there. The Heavy's father was a counter-revolutionary, so it is likely Heavy and the surviving members of his family are the same. That could mean they are Tzarists, Mensheviks, Liberals, or even the wrong kind of Marxist, but he is definitely not in favor of the current Soviet regime. The Medic: Valve has confirmed he is not a Nazi, so that possibility is threatened out. I'd say Medic's political views depend on his religious views. He hails from a small rural Bavarian town named Rottenburg, so it is very likely he might be a conservative Catholic. If that is the case, he might be one of the remnants of the Zentrum Partei or part of the CDU. If he is Jewish or Atheist, he is more likely to be a member of the SPD. Again, I believe the Medic's religious views would be largely determined by his religion. The Demoman: Demoman is always drunk in-game, but he is sometimes sober in the comics, but even then it's rare. I am not sure that he really cares about politics. In one of his Domination lines, he does insult the Heavy by calling him a "bloody Bolshevik," so there is that. The Spy: I think the Spy - *backstabbed* Unknown: The Pyro: We'll never know. He/she/it would probably burn the ballot booth. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook on September 23, 2014, 02:16:07 PM This is so embarassing to say, but since I've been playing the Hamtaro games...
Title Character: Non-voter, he doesn't like to make enemies. Boss: Democratic, he's a field hamster; therefore homeless. Snoozer: Slept through the election. Bijou: Can't vote due to being French. Oxnard: Food-loving dumb fat guy. Republican Pepper (Not a main cast member, but she marries Oxnard at the end of the series): She's a farmer, and either one of the last Dixiecrats or just recently switiched parties. Howdy: If you thought Republicans were messed up now, wait until this guy's bad jokes join the party. Dexter: Since he likes to compete with Howdy, and is more of an intelectuall, he's a Democrat. Pashmina: Dexter and Howdy are rivals for her affection, but she has no strong feelings for either of the two. Once debate season starts she'll make up her mind. Penelope: Can't vote due to being a baby. Maxwell: The resident know-it-all will vote for the person, not the platform. He would care about politics the most out of all the Ham-Hams. Panda: He likes to fix and build things. Both parties would desire his skills at construction, and whichever one approaches him first would get his vote. Cappy: His owners spoil him, so he probably votes for whoever they endorse. He probably had an Obama sticker lining his giant cage. Sandy: She's in love with Maxwell, so she votes with him. Stan: Stan would say he votes against Maxwell, but his sister Sandy would "correct" him Jingle: He has no residence, so he probably can't vote. He would vote Libertarian since he likes to travel the world writing poetry, and would support free boarders. He would probably write the wrong name down given how bad he is with names.

Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Libertarian Socialist Dem on December 20, 2014, 07:34:25 PM Mad Men There are few characters that have displayed overt political philosophies, and a number of them which I assume may be a political. Given their residence in New York, their vote narrows it down. Went with '64, and pointless not to include primaries--though that does mean there'd be an NY primary, and I don't believe there was. :P 1960 would be interesting as well. Don Draper: Didn't vote. Seems to be a political. Bertram Cooper: Goldwater - Ayn Rand fan! Roger Sterling: Rockefeller - When he hears about Rocky's divorce, he's pretty upset that all they have left is Goldwater. Peter Campbell: Rockefeller - Comes from money. Only clue. Peggy Olson: Goldwater - Only one clue with this one, where she says in Season 4 that she'd like to have worked for the Goldwater campaign. Paul Kinsey: Johnson - Got all "New Left" on us in Season 2 and went to register African-American voters in Mississippi with his African-American girlfriend. Betty Draper/Francis: Rockefeller - Indicated a preference for Nixon in 1960, plus by Season 4 she's seeing someone working for Rockefeller. Best guess here. Henry Francis: Rockefeller - Duh! Works for Governor Rockefeller and later "the Congressman", John Lindsay running for Mayor. Stan Rizzo: Johnson - He worked for the Johnson campaign, of course. I should do 1960... Also, apparently the most recent season goes up to '68, so maybe we'll see that. Peggy had a JFK picture in her apartment. Pretty sure she was a Democrat, she just said that in regard to business.

Ted Bullpitt - A working class employee at a putty factory, generally Liberal, although would have supported One Nation in 1998 (this being said, Ted was more the type to dislike anyone and anything, rather than an Archie Bunker or Alf Garnett type). I think Ted would have voted for Katter's Australian Party in 2013, to "bring back the Kingswood". Thelma Bullpitt - Ted's wife, I'd say a swing voter, probably sneakily (as in not telling Ted) supported Labor in 1972, when Whitlam came into power. Greta Bertolucci (nee Bullpitt) - Ted & Thelma's daughter, most likely Labor, both at the time and now, given her progressivism. Craig Bullpitt - Ted & Thelma's son, a medical student, probably Labor at the time, and the Democrats in the Senate. May be a Greens voter now. Bruno Bertolucci - Greta's husband, Labor , for similar reasons to his wife, and also because of his ethnicity (Italian) and religion (Catholicism). Bob Bullpitt - Ted's brother, a used car salesman from Brisbane, most likely voted Liberal, This being said, Bob probably voted for the Nationals at the state level in the 1980s, and was probably tempted by Palmer United in 2013. Merle Bullpitt - Bob's upwardly mobile wife, I'd think she'd be straight-ticket Liberal at both federal and state levels.

Roseanne Conner: 1968-Not able to vote due to not being 21. See her supporting McCarthy and later HHH. 1972- McGovern 1976-Carter 1980-Carter 1984-Mondale 1988-Dukakis (She had an epic jab at Bush during Season 1 more or less mocking his attitude/persona.) 1992-Clinton or Perot 1996-Clinton Rosie was always a hippie and leftist. Seeing her being big for McCarthy or RFK then supporting HHH in 68, diehard for McGovern and Carter in 76 and 80. See her voting Mondale because of Regan-omics plus Ferraro. 1988 on she would be a solid dem minus 1992. But def seeing her staying Dem since 2000. Dan Conner: 1968-Same as Rosie. HHH? 1972-Nixon? 1976-Carter 1980-Reagan 1984-Reagan 1988-Bush 1992-Clinton or Perot 1996-Clinton Dan "died" in 1996 but if want to BS it with the final season I could see him voting for Bill. 1992 he def wouldn't vote for Bush due to the recession killing his shop. Before then I see him being a Reagan Democrat. If he lived he would have voted for Dubya in 2000, 04 prob Libertarian or Kerry, 08/12 def Obama. ' Jackie Healey: 1968-Nixon 1972-Nixon 1976-Carter 1980-Reagan 1984-Reagan 1988-Bush 1992-Clinton 1996-Clinton See Jackie being 2 versions. The early less idiotic one which won Laurie Metcalf the emmy one year and the goofy Don Knotts style Jackie. I see her voting Republican in her less silly days except in 76. When she gets goofy and becomes gay in Roseanne's alternate reality I see her heading left from 1992 on. Becky Conner Healey: 1988-Bush 1992-Perot? 1996-Clinton Becky's tough because of how dramatic of changes her character went through. The early serious Becky I see being very tight and conservative but by 1992 I see her loosening up and changing dramatically as a person. More liberal and less tight, plus they got a hotter actress too so that didn't hurt ;) 1992's iffy because the first Becky is there but by 1996 I see Becky 2 going with Clinton. 2000's tough because her character wasn't ever set in stone but I see her going for Dubya as well as 04 before going for Obama in '08 and '12. Darlene Conner Healey: 1988-Bush 1992-Perot or didn't give a care. 1996-Nader Darlene's the most dramatic due to how much Sarah Gilbert changed as a person and her influences on the chather. She started as a tomboy who was very much like Dan so I see her supporting Bush Sr at least in 1988. By 1992 she was heading into that goth phase and shut out the rest of the world. See her maybe support Ross due to his outsider status but I can easily see her not giving a crap either. By 1996 she was out of the silly phase and was herself again albeit a major liberal. Don't see her going for Clinton due to his center based polices so I see her as a Green for Nader. See her voting for him at least through 2004, and in 08/12 see her voting Obama. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Dancing with Myself on June 15, 2015, 02:20:53 AM King of the Hill:
Hank Hill: 1976-Ford 1980-Reagan 1984-Reagan 1988-Bush Sr 1992-Bush Sr 1996-Dole 2000-Bush? or Buchanan 2004-Bush? 2008-McCain 2012-Romney See Hank being a solid Rep voter besides 2000 where that whole episode was about his disappointment in meeting Dubya. I see him staying Rep or voting Reform. No Democratic votes. Peggy Hill 1976-Carter 1980-Carter 1984-Reagan 1988-Bush Sr 1992-Bush Sr or Perot 1996-Dole 2000-Bush 2004-Bush 2008-McCain 2012-Romney Luanne Platter: 2000-James Harris (Supported the communist candidate but there wasn't one in 2000, Harris was a socialist candidate though.) 2004-Badnarick 2008-Obama (Due to history factor) 2012-Johnson Dale Griible: 1976-Ford 1980-Reagan 1984-Reagan 1988- 1992- 1996- 2000- 2004- 2008- 2012- See him voting for a little then when he goes paranoid he doesn't. He goes to Mexico and other places and shops on election days. See him being a libertarian and Paul supporter though. Boomhauer: 1976-Carter 1980-Reagan 1984-Reagan 1988-Bush Sr 1992-Perot 1996-Dole 2000-Dubya 2004-Dubya 2008-McCain 2012-Romney Solid Rep besides 1976 and 92 with Perot. Bill: 1976-Carter 1980-Reagan 1984-Reagan 1988-Bush 1992-Bush 1996-Clinton 2000-Bush 2004-Bush 2008-Obama (See him supporting McCain until near the end when he changes his mind.) 2012-Romney More twords the Center but prefers Republicans due to their Military policies.

Bush 2004: George W. Bush 2008: Barack Obama; figuring that John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin is utter madness and would not reflect well on his family and Newman Enterprises 2012: Mitt Romney; figuring that Romney is better but, after the "47 percent" speech he realizes his preferred party will lose once again Days of Our Lives' Marlena Evans 1968: Hubert Humphrey 1972: Richard Nixon; due to his impending 49-state re-election 1976: Gerald Ford 1980: Ronald Reagan; figuring that the country wants to fire Jimmy Carter and this may be for the best 1984: Ronald Reagan; figuring that he done okay, the country seemed encouraged, and figured that Reagan should have a second term 1988: Michael Dukakis; she's turned off by how George Bush's campaign was managed by Lee Atwater and wonders if he's in league with Stefano DiMera 1992: Bill Clinton 1996: Bill Clinton; and her possession by Satan thankfully ended it time for Marlena to be able to participate 2000: Al Gore 2004: John Kerry 2008: Barack Obama 2012: Barack Obama The Bold and the Beautiful's late Stephanie Forrester 1960: John Kennedy; the only candidate who doesn't carry her home state California during Stephanie's lifetime 1964: Lyndon Johnson; figuring that, although she generally prefer Republicans, agrees with Johnson that "in [her] guts, she knows that [Goldwater's] nuts" 1968: Richard Nixon 1972: Richard Nixon 1976: Gerald Ford 1980: Ronald Reagan 1984: Ronald Reagan 1988: George Bush 1992: Bill Clinton; normally a Republican, she doesn't find the Arkansas governor too intimidating 1996: Bill Clinton; feels that Clinton did okay 2000: Al Gore; is now comfortable with Democrats 2004: John Kerry 2008: Barack Obama 2012: Barack Obama; she dies in late-November 2012 * AND HERE IS ONE MORE FROM A SOAP NO LONGER ON THE AIR * All My Children's Erica Kane 1968: Vietman is too troubling; Erica is too busy trying to launch her modeling career; and the polls in Pine Valley, Pennsylvania were awfully busy 1972: Well, neither President Richard Nixon or U.S. Sen. George McGovern were the type of men Erica Kane finds attractive…so there really wasn't any use 1976: She can't remember. (Or…she claims not to remember.) Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter were unusually attractive men in their own right. She recalls thinking Ford was more physically attractive, but Carter did have his charms. So, it's difficult for Erica Kane to remember who she voted for in 1976 1980: Ronald Reagan. Well, Reagan wasn't conventionally attractive in the eyes of Erica Kane. But he was very confident, had some wit, and Erica found that to be an attractive quality in the former actor and governor of California; and, besides, her late father Eric was a movie director and almost worked with Reagan…and that's good enough for her 1984: Ronald Reagan. She was never into Walter Mondale 1988: Michael Dukakis. George Bush wasn't her ideal of an attractive man. And he was married to that woman, Barbara, who kind of reminds Erica of her late mother Mona. And there were too many women who were like that that she encountered pretty regularly in Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. Michael Dukakis reminded Erica of some of the attractive men (nowhere near as attractive as she) who were gentlemanly and would be gentlemanly throughout their dates. So, it was the Massachusetts governor who won her vote in 1988 1992: Bill Clinton. Oh, Erica Kane is doing a spit-take over anyone feeling the need to ask that question. She meets Bill Clinton during his campaign and openly flirts with him in spite of the discomfort felt by Arkansas First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. 1996: Bill Clinton. Of course! 2000: George W. Bush. Al Gore was nice. Pleasant looking. A gentleman. But there was something to W. that Erica Kane appreciative. 2004: George W. Bush. John Kerry reminded of her of the type of men from her past. And she didn't need to go back to remembering the men from her past. 2008: Barack Obama. John McCain was a senior citizen already. And had her mother, Mona Tyler, not died in 1994…Erica would have liked to have arranged a date between the two. Barack Obama was instant recognition by Erica as a winner. His looks. His charms. His personality. And Erica's daughter Bianca, already out and supported, sensed that Barack Obama would be an inclusive president of the United States…and told her mother that she was endorsing Obama for the nomination and, should he win the nomination, the general election. Bianca's endorsement was reinforcement for Erica 2012: Barack Obama. Compared to 2008, it was a tougher choice. Mitt Romney reminded Erica Kane of the men she used to find attractive. But, a lot has changed throughout the years for Erica, personally, and Mitt Romney was too much in the past. Erica wants to always be in the present. And daughter Bianca was so thrilled that President Obama endorsed marriage equality…it didn't take too longer for Erica to figure out that Obama had earned a second term Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Dancing with Myself on June 15, 2015, 10:03:45 PM North and South (1985,1986,1994,) Characthers:

Most of the time he just seems like a liberal weenie. 1980: Jimmy Carter 1984: Walter Mondale 1988: Michael Dukakis 1992: Bill Clinton 1996: Bill Clinton 2000: Al Gore 2004: John Kerry 2008: Barack Obama 2012: Barack Obama Patrick Star He's practically the conservative stereotype of a welfare queen. Obvious straight ticket Democratic voter is obvious. 1980: Jimmy Carter 1984: Walter Mondale 1988: Michael Dukakis 1992: Bill Clinton 1996: Bill Clinton 2000: Al Gore 2004: John Kerry 2008: Barack Obama 2012: Barack Obama Squidward Tentacles Clearly a radical Marxist.

I think Sandy would vote Republican, she is from Texas after all. Spongebob strikes me as a Indy who usually breaks Dem, but could vote GOP in a blowout (1984, 1972). Sandy seems like a Wendy Davis Texan, not a Ted Cruz Texan.

Bojack Horseman: I think everyone except Todd is a Democrat. He's probably just apolitical or would support Ron Paul/Rand Paul/Gary Johnson. Mr. Peanut Butter may also be apolitical. Bojack's Dad was a Republican and his Mom probably was too, but they're pretty minor characters.

Homer: '80 and '84: Reagen '88: Bush '92: Perot '96: Clinton '00 See entry for Marge. Homer might vote for Bush anyway because of Gore's lack of charisma '08 Primaries: R. Wiggum (ineligible) '08: Obama '12 GOP Primary: Ted Nugent '12: Romney '16 GOP Primary: Trump Homer is a blue collar low-info swing voter. Marge: '68 and '72: Nixon (may not be voting age in '68, is a baby boomer) '76 and '80: Carter '84: Reagen '88: Bush (note; Marge was quite conservative in the early years of The Simpsons, being very passionate about going to church) '92 and '96: Clinton (no new taxes anyone?) '00 Tossup depending on if the episode Two Bad Neighbors is factored in. She would vote Bush as having more character if not. If it does, the name "Bush" would be stained in the household. '04 Kerry '08 Primary: Clinton (Marge would see her as the more moderate and grounded choice) '08 and '12: Obama '16 Primary (DEM): Clinton (at least initially) Marge is a housewife Joe Quimby Democrat in all elections, is a member of the party. Votes for himself several times per election. The show occasionally parodies Bill Clinton with him. Slideshow Bob Republican in all elections, is a member of the party as a fairly intelligent conservative, but becomes incarcerated and unable to vote. Lisa: (Lisa is 8 years old in the show. The show's first episode was in late 1989, so Lisa was born in 1981. She becomes voting age in 1999) '88: Dukakis (in hindsight, no vote) '00: Nader '04: Kerry '08 (DEM Primary): Clinton '08 and '12: Obama '16 (DEM Primary) Initial Clinton, less enthusiastic after poll numbers start to drop. Would support Warren if running or Stien if she has a chance. Lisa is a strong progressive liberal intellectual. Bart Eligible voter after 1997 '08: McCain '12: Romney '16 (GOP Primary): Trump Monty Burns Since 1928, he's been voting mostly GOP, with exceptions for '68 (possible Wallace) and voting for Perot twice during the '90s. Smithers would vote for whoever Burns told him to until he votes for Obama, delighted to finally see a gay rights candidate run. I have no idea who Maggie would vote for when she becomes voting age, which would be in time for the '04 election at the earliest.

Here's how I think each of these main characters would have voted historically, starting at the year they're eligible to vote in their TV universe.
The Golden Girls: Dorothy: Born into a working class family in NYC during the Depression? Schoolteacher? Perfect recipe for a Democrat. 1952: Stevenson 1956: Stevenson 1960: Kennedy 1964: Johnson 1968: Humphrey 1972: McGovern, MAYBE Nixon if he got to her on the issues 1976: Carter 1980: Carter 1984: Mondale (Sophia mentions it in one episode) 1988: Dukakis (Sophia mentions this in the above episode in the same scene) 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama (her last election, as Bea Arthur died in 2009) Rose: She comes off as the swing voter type. I could see her voting for the right candidate at the right time. Definitely a moderate. 1952: Eisenhower 1956: Eisenhower 1960: Kennedy 1964: Johnson 1968: Nixon 1972: Nixon 1976: Could go either way 1980: Reagan (She comes off as the Reagan Democrat type) 1984: Reagan 1988: Bush 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Bush (His folksiness convinces her) 2004: Bush (see 2000) 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Blanche: I see her as an old-fashioned Southern Democrat who could go for the right type of Republican. 1956: Eisenhower 1960: Kennedy 1964: Johnson 1968: Nixon 1972: Nixon (Would NOT vote for a McGovern type) 1976: Carter (He's from Georgia just like her) 1980: Carter 1984: Reagan 1988: Bush 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Bush 2004: Bush 2008: Obama (her last election, as Rue McClanahan died in 2010) Sophia: Immigrant, working class New Yorker, lived through the Depression...yeah, the elephant certainly isn't her animal. 1928: Smith 1932: FDR 1936: FDR 1940: FDR 1944: FDR 1948: Truman 1952: Stevenson 1956: Stevenson 1960: Kennedy 1964: Johnson 1968: Humphrey 1972: Maybe McGovern. I don't think Sophia's tough old bird personality would vote for a hippie type though. She just may break her "No Republicans Rule" this once. 1976: Carter 1980: Carter 1984: Mondale 1988: Dukakis 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry (Her last election. Estelle Getty was starting to become ill in the early 2000s, so I think she wouldn't be well enough to vote in 2008, and then Estelle Getty died in 2009). Who's the Boss?: Tony: Working-class Italian New Yorker=Democrat. May occasionally vote Republican if he's convinced. 1972: Nixon (He was moderate plus Tony wouldn't vote for McGovern's hippie views) 1976: Carter (the lingering 70s recession) 1980: Carter 1984: Reagan (Tony was convinced by Reagan's "Are you better off?" zinger) 1988: Maybe Bush 1992: Clinton (definitely...Tony was already a teacher by then) 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry (fellow Northeasterner) 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Angela: Republicans used to dominate Connecticut back in the day. Angela is a successful businesswoman, is active in her community, has an uptight personality...she's definitely a New England Republican. I'd say she's definitely more to the right than a Rockefeller Republican, but at the same time, she's definitely NOT a Tea Party Republican. 1972: Nixon 1976: Ford 1980: Reagan 1984: Reagan 1988: Bush 1992: Clinton (It's mentioned in an episode that the recession affected her advertising agency. So, she presumably blamed Bush for it. Plus, she was probably turned off by Pat Buchanan's "Culture Wars" speech.) 1996: Clinton (The economy is doing great, plus Clinton's policies were pretty conservative. By this time, she's mostly voting Democrat for federal offices and a swing voter for state and local offices, although she may still be registered Republican.) 2000: Bush (He was moderate enough for her to vote red again) 2004: Kerry (The economy was slowly recovering from the 2001-2002 recession at this time, plus she probably hated the Iraq War.) 2008: Obama 2012: Could go for either Obama or Romney since Romney is a New England Republican like her Sam: DEFINITELY a Democrat. 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Jonathan: Seems like a Democrat to me. Maybe he turns out to be gay just like the actor who plays him, which solidifies his blueness. 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Mona: The quintessential Rockefeller Republican. Switched to Democrat when the party started going more to the right, plus she was also starting to get up there in years. In her mind, she wasn't going to vote for the party that planned to take away her Social Security and Medicare! (Yes, I also take into consideration she shared in the wealth of Angela's agency and that she was basically living at the Bower residence for free.) 1952: Eisenhower 1956: Eisenhower 1960: Kennedy 1964: Johnson 1968: Nixon 1972: Nixon 1976: Ford 1980: Reagan 1984: Reagan 1988: Bush 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama The Cosby Show: Cliff: Doctor, conservative, etc. Republican. 1956: Eisenhower 1960: Nixon 1964: Johnson (only due to Goldwater's stance on the CRA) 1968: Nixon 1972: Nixon 1976: Ford 1980: Reagan 1984: Reagan 1988: Bush 1992: Bush 1996: Dole 2000: Bush 2004: Bush 2008: Obama (he comes off as centrist enough for him, plus hey, first black Prez) 2012: Obama Claire: Trial lawyer? Career woman with spunk? Democrat. Occasionally voted Republican, either when the Democrat was an embarrassment of a nominee or during peaceful economic good times. 1956: Stevenson 1960: Kennedy 1964: Johnson 1968: Nixon (Humphrey's too liberal for her) 1972: Nixon (again, McGovern's too liberal for her) 1976: Carter 1980: Carter 1984: Reagan (She pondered Reagan's "Are you better off?" question.) 1988: Bush (Dukakis was too much of an embarrassment for anyone to support) 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Denise: Nuff said. 1988: Dukakis 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Theo: He studied psychology. Most social workers are liberal, so... 1988: Dukakis 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Vanessa: Yeah... 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Rudy: Same 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: / on September 24, 2015, 11:12:49 PM Family Guy:

The Adults: Harold Weir- TRUMP. Harold was very blunt on the show, with all of his "You know what happened to my friend who smoked cigarettes? HE DIED!" type of stories. Trump would be a perfect fit for him. Jean Weir- Clinton. Jean seemed to be the typical docile housewife on the show who went along with whatever her husband said. However, she has a few feminist tendencies of her own. In one episode, she got into a fight with Harold because she felt he only appreciated her as a housewife and not as an individual. In another episode, Lindsay and Harold were debating about the pros and cons of a woman President, and she took Lindsay's side. Plus, in 2016, Jean would be REALLY REALLY REALLY old, and she'd like to see a woman President for her sake, as well as for her daughter's (Lindsay's) sake. Mr. Rosso- Sanders. Mr. Rosso's a dope-smoking hippie. Sanders has promised on the campaign trail that he'd relax the marijuana laws, which would be right up Rosso's alley. Mr. Kowchevski- Trump. He was the asshole math teacher that always got on Daniel's case. Very brash and abrasive. It's revealed in one episode that he's in the closet, but because he's from a conservative area of Michigan, he's probably your typical closeted gay Republican. Coach Fredricks- Clinton. Teacher, so yeah. Mr. and Mrs. Schweiber (Neal's parents)- Clinton. Upper-middle class suburban Jews? Definite Clinton voters. Gloria Haverchuck (Bill's Mom)- Clinton. Single mom who has to be a stripper in order to feed, clothe, and house her teenage son? She'd definitely be included in Hillary's sob stories. Cookie Kelly (Kim's Mom)- Trump. Uneducated white trailer trash? That's one of Trump's strongest demographics. Mr. Andopolis (Nick's Dad whose name is never revealed): Either Trump or Cruz. He's a tough military veteran and would prefer either candidate equally. The Main Cast: Lindsay Weir- Clinton. Independent-minded and feminist. Perfect mix for a Clinton voter. Lindsay was a bit of a cynic on the show as well, which would normally make her an ideal Sanders voter, but she figures 2016 is the Year of the Woman, and America must elect a woman President. Thus, Lindsay Weir (assuming she either keeps her nee or is still unmarried at this point) is #ReadyForHillary. Sam Weir- Kasich. The writers of the show said that Sam would experience a growth spurt and become more athletic if there was a season 2 (the actor himself grew about 10 inches in the year 2000). However, we're going by what the characters were like for the 18 episodes we had with them. Sam was scrawny, weak, an underdog, and constantly bullied. Kasich is a total underdog in this race, and doesn't get a lot of respect. Sam would naturally gravitate toward Kasich. Neal Schweiber- Clinton. Again, upper-middle class suburban Jew. Bill Haverchuck- Trump. Poor and white. However, he was also kind of an oddball, which makes him seem like a Trump voter to me. Daniel Desario- No one. He was a bum who just liked to party and lay around on the show. He'd probably be too lazy to register to vote, let alone go out and vote. Nick Andopolis- Sanders. Simple. Sanders wants to end the War on Drugs, which means it's easier for Nick to get pot. Nick was high practically every episode, so... Ken Miller- Trump. Comes from a wealthy family, which would ideally make him a moderate country club Republican. However, he's very sarcastic and honest. He wasn't afraid to insult Lindsay to her face, even when the Freaks were starting to welcome her into their circle. So, I say Trump gains Seth Rogen's character as a voter. Kim Kelly- Clinton. Kim was shrill and a total bitch. Need I say more? Gordon Crisp- Trump. He was the fat guy who had a BO problem, and tended to be blunt about inappropriate topics from time to time. Harris Trinsky- Sanders. Harris was that long-haired weirdo that got the Geeks into D&D. I don't know. He just comes off as a Sanders voter to me. Alan White- Trump. Alan was the school bully that picked on the geeks, but LOVED to pick on Sam for some reason. Cindy Sanders- Kasich. She was your typical Young Republican on the show. She'd naturally gravitate toward Kasich after her preferred candidate Rubio dropped out of the race. Cindy would think Cruz is too far right and that Trump doesn't belong in the GOP at all. Millie Kentner- Cruz. Millie was UBER religious. Natural Cruz voter. Tell me if I missed anyone from the show. I don't think I did, as I am a MAJOR F&G fan... Title: Who did Don Draper vote for?

Homer - White working-class male with a populist streak, somewhat homophobic and known to be quite a militant unionist when he wants to be. But has also taken a liberal streak on illegal immigrants. On balance, Trump. Marge - Mainstream female Democrat would vote for the mainstream female Democrat. Would have supported her in the primaries too. Bart - Likes cool things, so Sanders in the primaries. Hates authority, so wouldn't vote for either main party candidate. Probably Johnson. Lisa - Environmentalist, feminist and SJW long before the term was coined. Lean Sanders in the primaries, reluctant Hillary supporter in the general to keep out Trump. Abe - Thought he got money for doing nothing at all because the Democrats were in power again. Also blamed them for not being able to see his grandson. War veteran with a nostalgic streak. Clearly Trump...as long as he promises to make Matlock run on every TV network 24/7. Mr. Burns - Republican in the Romney mould. Probably not keen on Trump's immigration stance, as he employs Mexicans himself. Would probably follow the Bushes in voting for Johnson. Mr. Smithers - Known to lie about his political stances to please Mr. Burns. Would do so again by voting for Hillary, despite telling Burns that he'd vote for Johnson. Moe - Secretly an illegal immigrant and possibly transgender. He'd be very vocal to the regulars at the bar about the need for a Trump presidency, but in the privacy of the polling booth he'd vote for Hillary.

He always acts quite clumsy when it comes to minorities or different sexual orientations, so he propably grew up in a conservative household, and he always tries to prove that he is not a racist. Backed Bush or Kasich in the republican primaries and votes for Johnson or Hillary in the general election. Dwight Schrute: Classical country boy, stucked in the middle of the 19th century. Santorum/Cruz/Trump in the primaries, Trump in the general election. Jim Helpert: Guess he'd back Bernie in the primaries and votes for Hillary in the general election. Pam Helpert: Hillary supporter. Stanley: Doesn't vote because he doesn't care. Angela: Either a strong Trump/Cruz supporter or she votes for a strange archconservative third-party.

Tom Haverford: Either he doesn't vote because he's to cool or he's #BernieOrBurst. April Ludgate: Doesn't vote. Jerry: He's a conservative. I guess he backed Bush in early 2015 and switches to Cruz since Jeb sunk into obscurity. He might have voted for Cruz in die Indiana primary, but supports Trump in the general election.

Anyway: Ted Mosby - Probably the most moderate member of the group. Will put him down as voting for Hillary, but he would have gone for Kasich in the primary (a fellow Ohioan). Would have supported Jeb or Rubio in a general also. Marshall Eriksen - Believer of environmental causes, despite working briefly in the corporate world. I imagine he supported Sanders in the primaries but will back Stein in the general. Robin Scherbatsky - With dual citizenship, she can now vote. Hardest to pin down but probably a Republican based on her upbringing and interests. Will vote for Trump whilst holding her nose. Not sure who she would have backed in the primaries, but gotta lean toward Ted Cruz because of the Canadian thing... Barney Stinson - In public, very much a corporate/white collar Republican. Would have gone for Jeb, Rubio or Kasich in the primary, but gets a kick out of telling friends he is all for Trump now. However, in the polling booth, with his history and current "assignment" (PLEASE), he would have backed Bernie in the primary. Probably leans Stein in the general but open to voting Hillary too. Lily Aldrin - Democrat through and through. Admires the Bernie Sanders campaign but backs Hillary to the hilt.

But, there are a few references to Ted being a Democrat (see: the hanging chad Halloween costume and Robin being concerned about Ted being anti-gun when they were dating). Marshall is probably more moderate than you think, possibly a swing voter. Barney is probably really a moderate right-leaning libertarian and would support Jeb or Kasich in the primary and Johnson in the general.

Al - Obviously not Clinton, wouldn't trust Trump, would see him as too elitist (plus Al was only xenophobic to the French), and doesn't really care for politics, aside from when his beer tax is raised, his favourite TV show is cancelled, or his supply of pornography and strippers is threatened. If he did vote, Gary Johnson. Peggy - Clinton, in hope for more welfare money that she can spend on home shopping and bon-bons. This is, if she could be bothered to vote. Kelly - Probably wouldn't vote. Bud - Clinton (would be put off by Trump's insults/mannerisms) Steve - Most likely Clinton (would be a swing voter in previous elections) Marcy - Clinton (particularly for feminist reasons) Jefferson - Clinton (at least he'd say that when Marcy's around...) Griff - Johnson? Peggy's relatives in Wanker County - Either Trump or Johnson Rest of the NO MA'AM group (Ike, Officer Dan, and Bob Rooney) - Probably Johnson (if they voted), for similar reasons to Al (don't want a feminist woman as President, and they don't trust Trump) Gary (Al's boss) - Possibly Trump (wealthy businesswoman just outside the Forbes 400) Miranda (TV reporter) - Clinton Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on September 14, 2016, 12:31:05 AM Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Dr. Sam Beckett: Sanders (Scientist, dependent on government research grants. Probably a proponent of massive government projects in general and seems to otherwise be politically left-leaning. Would still vote Hillary in the general.) Al Calavicci: Hillary (Seems fairly liberal, though probably not as much as Sam. Vietnam veteran. Also big on disability issues.)

Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends on October 14, 2016, 08:58:46 PM In the run up to Australia Day, here's Kingswood Country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingswood_Country), originally on Australian TV from 1980-84: Ted Bullpitt - A working class employee at a putty factory, generally Liberal, although would have supported One Nation in 1998 (this being said, Ted was more the type to dislike anyone and anything, rather than an Archie Bunker or Alf Garnett type). I think Ted would have voted for Katter's Australian Party in 2013, to "bring back the Kingswood". Thelma Bullpitt - Ted's wife, I'd say a swing voter, probably sneakily (as in not telling Ted) supported Labor in 1972, when Whitlam came into power. Greta Bertolucci (nee Bullpitt) - Ted & Thelma's daughter, most likely Labor, both at the time and now, given her progressivism. Craig Bullpitt - Ted & Thelma's son, a medical student, probably Labor at the time, and the Democrats in the Senate. May be a Greens voter now. Bruno Bertolucci - Greta's husband, Labor , for similar reasons to his wife, and also because of his ethnicity (Italian) and religion (Catholicism). Bob Bullpitt - Ted's brother, a used car salesman from Brisbane, most likely voted Liberal, This being said, Bob probably voted for the Nationals at the state level in the 1980s, and was probably tempted by Palmer United in 2013. Merle Bullpitt - Bob's upwardly mobile wife, I'd think she'd be straight-ticket Liberal at both federal and state levels. To update this, in the wake of the passing of Ross Higgins (Ted Bullpitt), having re-watched a good number of episodes, while Ted was conservative, and had a profound dislike of Whitlam, Hawke, and Al Grassby, he was very anti-politician in general (he disses then-PM Fraser and then Treasurer John Howard in numerous episodes). In 2016, he'd probably vote One Nation again. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: RC on November 07, 2016, 06:43:41 PM The Nutshack

Bruce Wayne/Batman- Trump, but I could see him going for Johnson too. He despised Schreck who was very Trump like. Wayne Enterprises was based of small business and seem very conservative. But the Keaton version of the character seems very much like a loaner and would love government to be far away so I also see him considering Johnson. Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin- Trump. Hard to say how he was politically due to being raised in the sewers his whole life but he did try to run for Mayor in a recall election under Schreck's wing. He ran a very Trump-esque campaign on Law and Order; so that looks Republican to me. Selina Kyle/Catwoman- Clinton Early Selina is very much a girly-girl and very for equality; seems like a total PC Democrat. Catwoman Selina was a BA and a very hardline feminist; very Clinton. Max Schreck- Trump No brainer here; he was based in style of Trump I'm sure. Alfred- Trump Tough to pick but he seems like a Bush era compassionate Conservative. He did loathe Schreck and Oswald so who knows; maybe would vote for Johnson as well. Com Gordon- Trump The Law and Order theme would hook him in. All Gordon's would vote for him with some objections.

Heres what I think
Spongebob: Is most likely a Republican and probably would have voted for Marco Rubio because he is young and charismatic Patrick: Is probably unaffiliated and probably voted for Bernie Sanders because Bernie Sanders promises everything for free Squidward: Is almost certainly a Democrat and would most likely voted for Bernie Sanders because he promised to raise the minimum wage Mr Krabs: Is most likely a Republican and probably would vote for Donald Trump since Trump is a business man like himself and has a lot of money. Something Mr Krabs loves even more than his own daughter.

But based on his age (depending on if we're going by when the show was created or the present day, he's either Gen X or Millennial) and the fact that he's pro-environment (he likes Jellyfish Fields and even had a special demolishing a highway), I'd say he voted Hillary. (Unlikely to have voted Stein, since he's not that hardcore or anything.)
Patrick: Even more apolitical than Spongebob, though someone on here said that he would be a perfect "straight-ticket-D living welfare queen." I'm not totally convinced by that, but given that he's friends with SpongeBob and Sandy he'd might've voted Hillary if he got out from under his rock. Squidward: This gets interesting, since economically he's similar to a WWC Obama-Trump voter (low-wage service employee who has "economic anxiety"), but culturally he is an artist and would be part of the "cultural elite" who vote Dem. But since he's always miserable, I'd say the former trumps the latter and he voted Trump. Mr. Krabs: Easy one, since he likes money and Mr. Trump has lots of it. Besides liking the usual pro-business GOP policies, Krabs would be enthralled by the monetary success Trump achieved. Plus he has a WWC upbringing that lends him to be culturally attracted to Trump anyways. (I guess he could go Johnson, but I doubt it.) Sandy: Another easy one. She's a college-educated strong woman who would like the social messages the Dems have. As a scientist, she would hate the Republicans for their anti-science and climate-change-denialist stances. She doesn't like the Greens for their anti-science positions either, even if she likes their environmentalism. Ergo she almost certainly voted Hillary. (And before anyone asks, yes, GOP-hating Dems do exist in Texas.) Plankton: Evil scheming capitalist with Steve Bannon-esque aspirations to destroy everything good and precious. Voted Trump to see the world burn. (And the whole "I went to college!" thing would make it ironic given demographics.) Karen: Probably voted Hillary 1. to spite her husband and 2. because tech in general supports the Democrats. Pearl: Young teenage girl; she would likely have supported Hillary or Stein (not voted for; remember that she's 16), especially if she wants to rebel against her father. (Doubly so if she's 16 in the present day.) Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy: They were once great, and they want to be great again. They remember when America was once great, and they want it to be great again. Likely voted Trump. (Though if Mermaid Man is an ancestral FDR Democrat, he might've gone Hillary.) Gary: Would support Gary Johnson. I'll let you think about that. I find it ironic that Squidward, Krabs, and Plankton, who hate each other outside of politics, would put aside their differences to vote for Trump!

Michael - Probably a Never Trump republican. He'll be wanting someone who can regulate his parents' business interests. I'd say he goes with Johnson. George - A big-business voter. Has strong anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments. Maybe Jeb in the primaries, but definitely Trump overall. Lucille - Hillary. She seems like a neoliberal Wall Street type to me who only cares about being rich. Gob - Seems pretty apolitical to me. All he really does is bad magic tricks and trying to best his brother at something. Buster - Probably a Hillary supporter to spite his mother. Lindsay - Stein. Tobias - Hillary voter. Only cares about gay issues. Maeby - Typical Hollywood Hillary shill. Probably has the same political views as Alia Shawkat IRL. GM - Votes Hillary in hopes of winning over Maeby. I'll try Fairly OddParents next: Timmy - Bernie supporter. Wants to bring justice for all the underprivileged kids in the world. Cosmo - Trump, because he's so crazy. Wanda - Hillary, because she's the "safe option" and feels Timmy's and Cosmo's picks will do more harm than good. Timmy's parents - Probably wouldn't vote. They seem mostly apolitical. Vicky - Hillary, I guess. She'd probably just want a repeal of child labor laws and use women's rights legislation like the VAWA to punish innocent boys. Mr. Crocker - Trump, as he would be able to make anti-Fairy legislation. Jorgen - Seems like a never-Trump Republican a la Arnold. Chester - A typical Trump-voting "white trash". AJ - Solid Democrat. Pixies - Trump, as he would loosen regulations around big businesses. Chloe - Very much a "Bernie-or-bust" person, even more so than Hillary.

Lucille (1) would have been a Trump voter for sure, considering how she pushed for a wall so strongly in Season 4 (which was before Trump's campaign). Buster's vote would have also depended on his mood relative to Lucille 1 (Trump) and Lucille 2 (the Democratic nominee for what is probably CA-48). Ironically, Lindsay winds up the Republican nominee (by accident), even though she is so liberal.

John Egbert (I-WA or I-OR): Voted for Donald Trump because he's a figure of 80s and 90s era media, appearing in Home Alone. Hillary Clinton didn't star in any movies or TV shows, and she opposed violent video games during her senate years. Also took Dave's ironic support at least somewhat seriously. While mostly apolitical, it wouldn't be surprising for someone like Egbert to have some rightist positions. Dave Strider (D-TX): Hardcore Trump supporter during the primaries in the model of Oakvale and Lief. Support was completely ironic and he drops it as soon as it's not cool anymore. Probably voted, but it's up in the air whether he voted seriously (Clinton) or not (Write In someone it would be ironic to vote for) Rose Lalonde (D-NY): A resident of the far reaches of upstate New York (closer to Quebec City than NYC), Rose is a feminist and a strong Clinton supporter. Clinton's scandals and flip flops and the like make Rose like her more, as she's willing to get tough and pragmatic in order to win. Seriously embittered by her defeat. Jade Harley (G-AS or G-GU): Voted for Jill Stein because she was the green party nominee, and green is the best color. It's not like her vote counts anyway, as if she lives within US waters it's deep in the pacific territories. This combined with her isolation makes her the most apolitical of the beta humans. -------------------------------------- Jane Crocker (I-WA or I-OR): Voted for Donald Trump because of superstitions about powerful, elderly, corrupt women. Roxy Lalonde (I-NY): Porbably didnt vote? Orr maybe fogort to? Dirk Strider (D-TX): More likely to vote seriously than Dave Strider, and far less likely to ironically support Donald Trump, quickly seeing him as dangerous. However, he's also very distrustful of Hillary Clinton - he supported Bernie Sanders for this reason. Jake English (R-AS or R-GU): Staunch Log Cabin Republican who went full countryclasssf over Trump, supporting him as a "centipede" from start to finish. Hopes Trump will become a 21st century Theodore Roosevelt, his favorite president of all time for obvious reasons. -------------------------------------- Joey Claire: Probably a generic D who might have considered Nader '00 after Lewinsky. Maybe a swing vote in the '08 and '16 Democratic primaries. Jude Harley: For '96 liked Lyndon LaRouche the best. Would root for the GOP if it was Buchanan vs. BClinton, but didn't support anyone in the general and was too young to vote. In 2000 could be persuaded to go Nader as opposed to Buchanan or Browne, but in '04 went Badnarik or abstain as Nader was obviously a honey pot set up by Bush II, Karl Rove, and Roger Stone. This conspiracy enthusiast proceeds to back third parties unpredictably in '08 and '12, then neatly falls like a peg into the InfoWars demographic of Trump primary and general supporters.

Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: CookieDamage on January 02, 2018, 01:47:08 PM Ed, Edd, n' Eddy Ed - Very sweet, but dumb. Can be easily persuadable but I feel like he would be disgusted by Trump (despite Eddy being a kid version of Trump, I still feel like Ed would be turned off by the misogyny, racism, and demagoguery). Likely Clinton voter. Edd - Very smart, always calling out Eddy's con artistry and general scuminess. Part of the intelligentsia. Reliable Clinton voter. Eddy - Trump, but smaller. Con artist, very unconcerned with others' feelings, selfish, hella problematic and very unethical. Reliable Trump voter. Jimmy - Coded to be gay and super shy and sensitive (quite homophobic characterization imo), but still, that's who he is and he seems very against Trump's politics and personality. Reliable Clinton voter. Sarah - Young, suburban, white girl who is probably turned off by Trump. Being Jimmy's best friend, she was probably offended by Pence's homophobia and the alt-right in general. Likely Clinton voter. Johnny - A loner, apolitical, but I do recall him being against Eddy a lot on ethical reasons. A Sanders supporter in the primary and lean Clinton voter. Kevin - Bully, masculine, seemingly obsessed with maintaining his masculinity appeal especially in terms of impressing Nazz. But, like all characters, he's suburban and might be turned off by Trump's issues. However, he's a straight, white, bullyish male, so lean Trump. Nazz - Popular, suburban girl, but she is kind and seemingly friendly and non-Trumpian. Likely Clinton voter unless she's a closet racist (which she might if she likes Kevin). Rolf - He's an immigrant and friendly, but he's also rural and white (at least it seems he's white and from Eastern Europe. Maybe Israeli/Lebanese? Although he seems coded to be like Polish or something) and OBSESSED with masculinity. I don't think anti-immigrant stances fronted by Trump turned him off, as he's probably internalized that he's one of the "good" migrants, unlike those brown Mexicans. Likely Trump voter. Lee - Leader of the Kanker sisters, shown to have a preference for Eddy and mirrors his distasteful personality. Likely Trump voter. May - Likes Ed, but like Lee and Marie, is coded to be the "white trash" archetype. She seems like the sweetest of the group, but if she's supposed to be a white Appalachian woman, I'd put her down as lean Trump. Marie - Blue haired Kanker sister, seems coded to be goth or emo maybe? Is written to be into bookish, smart Edd. Lean Clinton.

I know most of these characters are technically minors and thus wouldn't be eligible to vote, but I have some good ideas of what they might've thought about the last presidential election. Jenny: Probably a big supporter of oil and manufacturing, and tough on national security and defense. Based on that most likely a big Trump supporter, especially his protectionist platform and pledges to restore manufacturing jobs. However, I doubt she would've liked the alt right much and would've supported him more on principle. And how she would've felt about Trump and manufacturing would also depend on whether she supported the use of her fellow robots in heavy industry or was concerned about them being mistreated (more likely the latter, as demonstrated in one episode, which would imply that she would support removing them from the factories and putting human workers back in charge.) But if she cared more about robots just having jobs, then she very well might have been anti-Trump. Brad and Tuck: Apolitical. Being a kid of about 8 or so, Tuck might have been a Sandernista though. Sheldon: Probably apolitical, but given his nerd status could see him being a libertarian. Johnson, I guess. Dr. Wakeman: Scientist, which would imply Clinton, but also values national defense. Probably a swing voter. Brit and Tiff: Being the fashion-obsessed, high-society snobs they are, almost certainly would've been big Hillary fans. Would've despised Trump's misogyny and appeals to populism, likely would've agreed wholeheartedly with Hillary's "deplorables" comment. However, those are the same reasons they might have been Bernie fans. Probably left-wingers no matter how you slice it. Mr. Scruffles/Vladimir: Although he's a minor character, he deserves mention here because he's one of the most political characters on the show. In his first appearance, he complained about the way Dr. Wakeman had abused him and his fellow lab rats, spoke with a heavy Russian accent, and was based heavily (according to the show's creator, Rob Renzetti) on Lenin and the Bolsheviks. For this reason alone, he would've most likely been Bernie or Bust, possibly crossing over to support Hillary or (more likely) Jill Stein in the general. Misty: Another minor character, but since she was an alien who expressed admiration for Japan (she's also a ninja), probably would've disliked Trump's hard stance on illegal immigration and the xenophobia displayed by many of his voters. Certainly would not have liked religious conservatives much. Lean Clinton. Vexus: Rob Renzetti says the Cluster was partially based on Nazi Germany, so based on that and the frequent comparisons of Trump to Hitler and fascism, implies she would like Trump.

Kaede Akamatsu, Ultimate Pianist - Clinton. She's a "person" voter rather than a "party" voter. Shuichi Saihara, Ultimate Dectective- Both candidates were undergoing investigations, so he would have sat 2016 out. Maybe he and Muelller could be working together right now. Rantaro Amami, Ultimate ??? - Has several missing siblings all over the world, so he voted Johnson to make travel eaiser on him. Ryoma Hoshi, Ultimate Tennis Player/Prisoner - Is in prison, can't vote. Even if he could, he wouldn't vote for spoiler reasons. Kirumi Tojo, Ultimate Maid - Depends on who her master is. She votes with/for her master. Angie Yonaga, Ultimate Artist - Is foreign, can't vote. Would vote for the more religious candidate if she could. (or even write in Atua) Gonta Gokuhara, Ultimate Entomologist - Aspires to be the perfect gentleman, but he is easy to manipulate. If the Trump campaign convinces him, he would vote Trump, but otherwise Clinton. Miu Iruma, Ultimate Inventor - She and Trump are both perverts, but since Trump ran on anti-intellectualism, she votes for Clinton or a self write-in. Tenko Chabashira, Ultimate Neo-Aikido Master - Clinton, as she thinks Sanders and Trump are degenerate males. Korekiyo Shinguji, Ultimate Anthropologist - Trump, they have something in common that's a spoiler. Himiko Yumeno, Ultimate Magician/Mage - Sanders because he believes in a magic government, votes for a 3rd party in the general. Kaito Momota, Ultimate Astronaut - Clinton. Maki Harukawa, Ultimate Child Caregiver - Apolitical for spoiler reasons. K1-B0, Ultimate Robot - His inner voice guides him to vote for Clinton. Sanders in the primary.

Monotaro - Forgot when the election took place Monokid - Trump. Monosuke - Probably Trump Monodam - Sanders in primary, refuses to vote as he prefers to get along with everyone.

Michael: This one's tough. He's politically incorrect, but also wants to seem cool. I almost see him as a weird Trump-Sanders swing voter. Or may have voted for someone to make a point about gender or race (such as voting for Carson to say how much he loves black people). Dwight: Trump or some weird candidate no one has heard of Jim: Hard to pin down, probably pretty centrist. May have gone for Hillary but have been open to voting for a different Republican. Pam: Same as Jim, but probably is also a registered Republican Angela: Religious right. Voted Cruz in the primary and Trump in the general. Phyllis: Conservative with neocon sympathies. Rubio in the primaries and Trump in the general. Meredith: Voted for Trump due to his more vulgar comments Darryl: Probable Hillary voter, but I don't see him as all that liberal. Kevin: Finds Trump entertaining? Was in a bizarre uneducated awe of the election. Ryan: Becomes anti-capitalist as the show goes on, but doesn't find anyone idealistic enough. Writes somebody in. Kelly: Liked Trump on The Apprentice and hates Hillary's pantsuits, so she voted for Trump. Toby: Martin O'Malley or Ben Carson because no one lets them talk Oscar: Atheist, gay liberal Democrat. Probably not revolutionary enough to support Bernie though. Andy: Kasich/Rubio voter to appease upper-class WASP sentiments. Votes Johnson in the general. Erin: Actually appears to have been raised a devout Christian, but wouldn't like Trump's rhetoric or pessimism. Abstains, after voting Cruz or Kasich in the primary after Rubio dropped out. Gabe: Atheist and seems to prefer foreign cultures to America, so probably a Democrat. I'll guess Bernie. Jo: Friend of Nancy Pelosi. Hillary Clinton voter for sure. Robert California: Who knows, but probably Trump or Johnson Roy: Union Democrat who voted for Trump in 2016 Jan: Business Republican turned Hillary voter, quite liberal on social issues Holly: Moderately libertarian Democrat.

Sam Malone: Probably an ancestral Democrat but not very political in general, might in the present trend towards the right due to an antipathy to feminism not allowing him to get away with sexually harassing women in bars as much as he used to. Diane Chambers: Stereotypical elitist liberal, probably supported Anderson in 1980 but voted Democrat in every election after that and in 2018 is #stillwithher and tweeting nonstop about Russiagate. Norm Peterson: fiscally conservative+socially liberal Atari Democrat. Cliff Claven: Reagan Democrat in the 1980s, in his retirement though with his union pension in the 2010s he begins drifting to the hard right. First in 2010 his love of history leads him to become involved in the Tea Party movement. In 2016 he supports Ted Cruz in the primary and is initially a #nevertrumper but eventually comes around. Is a staunch believer in pizzagate and Qanon. Carla Tortelli: Lifelong working class Boston Democrat. In 2008 supported Hillary in the primary and easily voted for Obama in the general. In 2016 Bernie in the primary and Hillary in the general. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: HillGoose on May 30, 2018, 05:17:42 PM Anyone done Glee yet?
Rachel Berry: Young woman with gay parents, probably the best example of the "Jewish-American Princess" trope I've ever seen, very much a New Yorker and probably more sympathetic to Clinton than most people but voted for Sanders in the primary and of course Clinton in the general. Kurt Hummel: Young gay white man, I see him being more of a Northeastern John Kerry style solid liberal, and voting for Sanders in the primary, but still pretty enthusiastically Clinton in the general. Mercedes Jones: Given her role as a stereotypical black church lady, I see her being an "Establishment Democrat" Obama/Clinton supporter through and through. Voted for Clinton in both the primary and the general. Santana Lopez: More apolitical than most of them, voting mostly in support of liberal social issues. For some reason I can see her being extremely sympathetic to Ron Paul libertarianism if given the choice, but in an election between an establishment Republican or an establishment Democrat, would choose the Democrat every time. Didn't vote in primary, voted for Clinton in the general simply due to disgust with Trump. Sam Evans: One of the few Glee club members I can honestly see being a Republican. I'd call him a George W. Bush style Republican, although slightly more liberal on social issues like LGBT rights. Voted in the Republican primary for Rubio, but would have found Bush or Cruz also acceptable. Voted in the general for Gary Johnson. Will Schuster: Progressive Democrat in the mold of Barack Obama, completely. Voted in the primary for Sanders and general for Clinton. Sue Sylvester: Interestingly, one of the characters with more fleshed out political views. I remember a scene where she had passionately supported every Republican going back to at least Bob Dole in 1996. Definitely a partisan Republican, probably on the more hawkish side, given her admiration for neoconservative politicians in particular. Voted for Kasich in the primary, Trump in the general. Artie Abrams: Seems almost completely apolitical in my mind. I imagine he's a dead-on Centrist who acts as a pretty good bellwether, given that neither candidate is too extreme. Didn't vote in primary, I don't see him voting in the general unless disgust with Trump's social views gets him to vote for Clinton. I doubt it though. Quinn Fabray: Country Club Republican. Would fit in well in Arlington, VA or Orange County, CA. Voted in the primary for Kasich, and voted for Trump in the general simply because of the (R) next to his name. Burt Hummel: Neoliberal progressive Democrat. Voted in the primary and general for Clinton. Blaine Anderson: Close to apolitical, but liberal social views keep him voting for Democrats. Voted for Sanders in the primary and Clinton in the general. Brittany Pierce: Solid Democrat. Left of center in most all areas, but never far to the left of center. Sanders in primary, Clinton in general. Noah Puckerman: Republican, but more liberal than most Republicans. Voted for Kasich in the primary and Johnson in the general. Tina Cohen-Chang: The kind of Democrat you'd find in Silicon Valley, probably further to the left socially than economically. Voted in both the primary and the general for Clinton.

I could easily see the whole cast of AoT being socialists. There's hints here and there, especially from Levi. Haven't watched the 3rd season of AoT but here goes nothing: Eren: Left-wing single-issue voter, cares about justice and winning. Bernie->Stein Mikasa: Votes with Eren. Bernie->Stein Armin: Intellectual, worldly, not afraid to think outside the box. Bernie Jean: Elitist, self-centered tool whose perspective changes upon joining the Survey Corps. Rubio -> Hillary Sasha: Rural, working-class, cares about survival but is also a foodie. Tossup between Trump and Hillary Connie: Practical common-sense type. Tossup between Trump and Hillary Reiner: Publicly pro-Hillary/Bernie, but privately supports Trump Bertholdt: Privately a Trump voter but sympathizes with Bernie and Stein voters Annie: Individualistic, aloof, joined the Military Police. Canon Trump voter but I can see her supporting Johnson Ymir: Apolitical Krista: Seems like a noblesse oblige SJW type. Hillary->Bernie/Hillary Levi: Left-wing, populist, anti-corruption. Staunch Bernie supporter Erwin: Survey Corps leader, leans GOP. Reluctant Hillary or Bernie supporter Hange: Mad scientist type. Liberal but can't see her supporting any of the 2016 candidates Pixis: Libertarian, pro-Johnson.

He'll be wanting someone who can regulate his parents' business interests. I'd say he goes with Johnson. George - A big-business voter. Has strong anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments. Maybe Jeb in the primaries, but definitely Trump overall. Lucille - Hillary. She seems like a neoliberal Wall Street type to me who only cares about being rich. Gob - Seems pretty apolitical to me. All he really does is bad magic tricks and trying to best his brother at something. Buster - Probably a Hillary supporter to spite his mother. Lindsay - Stein. Tobias - Hillary voter. Only cares about gay issues. Maeby - Typical Hollywood Hillary shill. Probably has the same political views as Alia Shawkat IRL. GM - Votes Hillary in hopes of winning over Maeby. I'll try Fairly OddParents next: Timmy - Bernie supporter. Wants to bring justice for all the underprivileged kids in the world. Cosmo - Trump, because he's so crazy. Wanda - Hillary, because she's the "safe option" and feels Timmy's and Cosmo's picks will do more harm than good. Timmy's parents - Probably wouldn't vote. They seem mostly apolitical. Vicky - Hillary, I guess. She'd probably just want a repeal of child labor laws and use women's rights legislation like the VAWA to punish innocent boys. Mr. Crocker - Trump, as he would be able to make anti-Fairy legislation. Jorgen - Seems like a never-Trump Republican a la Arnold. Chester - A typical Trump-voting "white trash". AJ - Solid Democrat. Pixies - Trump, as he would loosen regulations around big businesses. Chloe - Very much a "Bernie-or-bust" person, even more so than Hillary. Huh? Anyway, Lucille is a very clear Republican hack, IMO.

Archie Andrews: He's very easy to manipulate, but since he was Veronica's running mate in the Riverdale High elections I'm going to say Lean R. Veronica Lodge: Lean R, the name Lodge does come from a Republican policitial figure, but she's Hispanic/Latina here and the owner of a small business, so she might vote D if it helps the business (or Archie, she's a very supportive girlfriend here.) Betty Cooper: D, but given her role in the show is the resident detective she might be a person-voter rather than a party voter. Forsythe P. "Jughead" Jones the 3rd: Doubt he votes, being a bit of a conspiracy theorist and gang leader. He's also a poor person who lives in a trailer park. Seems distrustful of politics. Cheryl Blossom: R, elitist rich girl who is really mean and sexual. She is bisexual though, and has been to conversion therapy so she may have changed her registration after that. Josie McCoy: D, her group The Pussycats are all minority women (Josie herself being black) and the Democrats are the party that supports them. Reggie Mantle: Archie's Asian rival. As Archie is Lean R, I'll say Reggie is Lean D. Dilton Doily: He's a crazy survivalist who has his own bunker and teaches kids how to fire a gun. He probably votes R and then hides in his bunker playing Gryphons and Gargoyles until the next election. Kevin Keller: Betty's gay friend and the sheriff's son. He probably votes like his father. Fred Andrews: Ran for mayor of Riverdale as the "Family Values" candidate. Not sure which party that would be. Hermonie Lodge: Ran against Fred Andrews, so whatever the opposite party of what he ran on. Hiram Lodge: The series main villain, and a mafia don who controls Riverdale with an iron fist. He votes for whoever he has the most control over. Sherriff Keller: Lean D, since he's having an affair with... Sierra McCoy: Josie's mother and the Mayor of Riverdale in seasons 1 and 2. D, of course. F.P. Jones the 2nd: Much like his son Jughead, he seems distrustful of politics in general. Hal Cooper: R, it's a spoiler why. Alice Cooper: Her desire to clean herself up from her younger days probably motivates her to vote R like Hal. Toni Topaz: D, is a Native American and dislikes the Blossoms.

No. Westeros is a world where family lineage is a major determinant of success. All of these characters would be conditioned from an early age to support candidates who are the scions of major, influential political families. Blood matters to these people.

The Graduate Mrs. Robinson- Biden/Bloomberg in primary, hates Trump and will vote for the Dem nominee Benjamin- Sanders Mr. Robinson- Trump Elaine- Sanders or Warren Mr. Braddock- Trump Mrs. Braddock- Probably not overly political but would vote for whoever her husband did All in the Family Archie- Trump Edith- Biden/Bloomberg, probably undecided if Sanders in general Mike- Sanders Gloria- Sanders or Warren Phantom Thread Reynolds- Conservative in UK, probably Biden/Bloomberg in US Alma- Labour in UK, Sanders in US Cyril- Conservative in UK, Biden/Bloomberg in US. Mayberry There weren't any black people in Mayberry for a reason, all Trumpers, except for Opie who goes off to college becomes a famous Hollywood director and leaves Mayberry far behind. I could see Andy as a New Dealer and he had little flashes of social liberalism (laughing off suggestions that Helen should quit her job when they got married, exc) so he'd probably be for Biden/Bloomberg. Opie got into rock music and stuff as a young teen in the later episodes so I could see him developing liberal views. Hard to imagine Aunt Bee voting for Trump with "grab her by the pussy" and his personal life, too, not sure what he would have done. Most the general townspeaople (Barney, Floyd, Gomer, Goober) are probably Trumpers.

Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Dr. MB on July 19, 2020, 07:44:53 PM Noticed some Breaking Bad posted from like, 2012. So here’s my take with some Better Call Saul added in.
Walter White: I think it’s pretty safe to say that Walter before he became Heisenberg was a Republican. His refusal to accept handouts or charity is his defining character trait early on in the show. Couple that in with some dropped hints (like telling Gretchen and Elliott “call it liberal guilt”) and I think you’ve got it. There are a couple factors against this though (1. Him being a teacher and 2. He’s got a PhD) but the people with postgraduate degrees didn’t vote as strongly Democratic in 2008 as they do now. So I’d say he voted McCain in 2008. Now later on in the show of course I don’t see him voting Republican. Libertarian if he does vote at all. Jesse Pinkman: There’s no chance in hell that Jesse votes. But if he did he’d be on the left. Obama-Obama-Sanders-Sanders is my guess. Same for his friends. Skyler White: Pretty sure Skyler voted for Obama. I just can’t picture her as a Republican. She’d hate Trump. Hank Schrader: The guy with the most Trumpian personality on the show. Plus he’s a cop. Definitely the safest bet for a Republican. Marie Schrader: In a way she’s even more “law and order” than Hank. She’s pushed him to act outside the law and freaked out about Walter Jr’s fake pot smoking more than anyone else in the family. Afraid of the Mexicans in El Paso. She votes Republican and she voted for Trump. Steve Gomez: Unlike the actor who plays him, Gomie’s probably more of a Republican just cause he’s a DEA agent. Hank’s occasional racist jokes don’t seem to bother him much. McCain-Romney-Trump. Jane Margolis: I think Jane does vote unlike Jesse. She knew who Jesse Jackson and Georgia O’Keefe were. Anyway it’s pretty clear she leans to the left, probably pretty far left. Would be a fan of Bernie Sanders. Saul Goodman: Saul has the Hillgoose mindset at heart. He doesn’t care about politics as long as he makes money. Even though he’s a lawyer I doubt he votes, but if he did it would probably be for Libertarians or random third party candidates. Gale Boetticher: Had a Ron Paul sticker in his notebook. Enough said. Gustavo Fring: He’s probably pretty knowledgeable about politics just to stay one step ahead of the authorities at all times. But he won’t waste his time on voting. They’re all the same in his view. Mike Ehrmantraut: Too cynical to care about politics, gave up on that back when he was a cop in Philly. Similar mindset to Gus I’d think. Walter White Jr: Too young to vote in the show but he’d be an adult now. Anyway he idolizes his uncle Hank and usually shows a lot of respect for law enforcement (except for the 1 time he was busted trying to buy beer). I think he’d be a swing voter though. Maybe leaning a little to the right. Chuck McGill: Chuck’s whole persona is respect for the law. He’s tied with Walter for smartest character in the BB universe, so he obviously knows his stuff. He’s also a huge elitist. As for who he votes for I think only one thing is really clear - he isn’t very partisan. Probably leans to the center but I’d think he values candidates who are smart and have a lot of political experience. He’d hate Trump. Kim Wexler: Kim would definitely be a Democrat. I think her life story gives her some sympathy for poor and underprivileged people - and she’s got more of a moral conscience than Saul does. Howard Hamlin: Inherited the lawfirm and money that his dad built. Bit of a holier-than-thou attitude. He’s a Republican. I’m not so sure Howard would vote Trump but I think he’s more likely to than not. The Cartel: Hector, Lalo, Tuco, Don Eladio, Bolsa. They vote for whoever turns a blind eye to them. Enough said.

Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: 𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆 on August 02, 2020, 01:33:13 PM I know that putting 16th-century characters into our contemporary understanding of politics is way beyond absurd, but I want to do The Taming of the Shrew just because I can.
I'll try to approximate characters to the 21st century. I'll also be very wrong. Petruchio: Uh oh. A sly, fierce, proud young man who is a male chauvinist. I imagine him as the guy whose view of Trump would be MORE favorable after the Access Hollywood tape, but I also believe his love for Katherina is sincere. Safe Trump -> Safe Trump. Katherina Minola: Actually not all commentators think that her final speech about female submissiveness is sincere. Anyway, she basically goes from hardcore feminist to suburban housewife. Unabashed Clinton voter -> shy Biden voter. Bianca Minola: Well-mannered and obedient, but also subtle. I imagine her as the type who has been writing "I stand with BLM" on Instagram since June, but has an inner Karen/Becky very few people know. Too young to vote in 2016 -> leaning Biden mostly to hop on the bandwagon. Gremio: Old lascivious man. He would be an extremely conservative, racist and sexist person now. Safe Trump -> Safe Trump. Lucentio: Basically a liberal arts student who does everything he can to woo and marry Bianca, with all sorts of tricks. He would be not much interested in politics, but I see him as (Sanders) -> no vote -> (Sanders) -> Biden. Hortensio: He gets conned by Lucentio and Petruchio and in the end marries a widow. I want to imagine him as an angry young man who swings between Ben Shapiro and Alex Jones. Grumio and Tranio: Both are cunning manservants in the tradition of Plautus's tricky slaves. I don't know how they can be approximated in the 21st century if not as lower-class roommates of respectively Petruchio and Lucentio who do all the household chores in order to be given money by them. Somehow I see them as Libertarian trolls (who prefer Dems to the GOP). And finally, Baptista Minola: He would be an overprotective dad with strict rules about dating for his daughters. Republican for Biden? And now you know where I took my username from. It's not because I like the character particularly, but because I like very much the idea of a Shakespeare character with an Italian name and also surname. Yes, I guess I could have chosen Romeo Montecchi but that is too obvious.

Steve: Biden Jefferson: Doesn't vote King of the Hill Hank: Writes-in Jeb Bush or Greg Abbott - Hank would be aghast against Trump's personality/some of his policies, and his coronavirus response. Peggy: Not sure Bobby: Biden Luanne: Trump (see Kelly Bundy) Lucky: Whoever gives him pee-pee money Dale: Doesn't vote Bill: Trump (military) Boomhauer: Jorgensen Till Death Us Do Part (UK 2019) Alf - Brexit Party, UKIP, BNP, or writes Tommy Robinson on the ballot, depending on where he lives. There is NO WAY Alf Garnett would vote for a Tory government with the likes of Sajid Javid or Priti Patel in it. Else - Depends on how she feels about the EU - Tory maybe?

Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: H. Ross Peron on April 26, 2021, 01:57:20 AM Taxi Driver edition
Travis Bickle: Despite having minimal interest in politics, Betsy did persuade him to vote for Jimmy Carter in the general election in November. Continuing resentment about crime as well as the Iranian Hostage Crisis drove him right, leading him to vote for Reagan twice followed by George HW Bush. Bickle voted for Perot in 1992 due to disappointment with Bush over the post-Cold War recession but skipped the following two Presidential elections not being impressed by Clinton, Dole, or George W Bush. He did enthusiastically back Giuliani's efforts to clean up New York City despite a nostalgic pang at the disappearance of the pornographic cinemas around Times Square. Bickle experiences 9/11 on a very personal level, being down in Lower Manhattan on the morning of the attacks while getting a meal at the end of his shift. The sight of the burning Twin Towers as well as thousands of ash covered people fleeing from the attacks are forever seared into his brain. Bickle becomes ardently Islamophobic and seriously considers shooting up a mosque before the presence of NYPD cops seeing a suspicious character dissuades him. This bigotry is not helped by the resentment he feels at immigrant taxi drivers, many of whom come from the Middle East or South Asia. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the Iraq War and frequently proclaims his support for George W. Bush in the lead up in the 2004 election. Eventually his Islamophobic tendencies ebb somewhat due to befriending Muslim taxi drivers while his opinion of Bush sours after Iraq becomes a quagmire seeing parallels to his own Vietnam experience. Bickle ends up voting for Obama in the 2008 election, especially when the Great Recession begins to affect his taxi business. The next several years prove a trying time for Bickle as the taxi business suffers serious competition from Uber and by 2015 an aging Bickle is forced into working as a Uber driver. Having ignored the 2012 election, Bickle is overjoyed at Donald Trump's candidacy, having picked him up a few times in Trump's Eighties heyday and having agreed with each other about the guilt of the Central Park Five. Trump's message of "Make America Great Again" and his picture of a country threatened by crime, illegal immigration, foreign trade, and unnecessary wars deeply resonates with Bickle. Bickle registers as a Republican and votes for Trump in his first primary vote since 1976. He makes little secret of his support for Trump in the general election and frequently praises him to his passengers often to their anger and resentment. Bickle continued to wear his MAGA hat for the next few years as he looked forward to his retirement on his 70th birthday in 2021. The Covid pandemic with the resulting loss of business, lockdowns, and unrest related to BLM and demands for defunding the police, however, brought back his worst nightmares of crime-ridden Seventies New York. Oddly enough, Bickle's own direct experience with human traffickers led him to discount QAnon conspiracy theories as blatantly absurd though he was fully convinced that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. Bickle's paranoia and anger reached levels not seen in decades and having bought firearms, openly toyed with the idea of assassinating certain prominent left-wing members of Congress in New York. Naturally Bickle was devastated on Election Day and was fully convinced that fraud had occurred. In January 2021, Bickle traveled to Washington DC and heard Trump speak near the Capitol which convinced him to participate in the mob that stormed Congress. Bickle was arrested hours later with weapons on his person and is currently awaiting trial on various criminal charges. Iris: Continued having emotional problems due to her memories of being underage prostitute and witnessing multiple murders, Iris had a "born again" experience and became a devout Evangelical Christian in her late teens. Eventually became involved in anti-trafficking activism in Evangelical circles and wrote a book about her experiences. Until 2000, she was mostly (at least openly) apolitical despite her devout beliefs though she generally voted for Republicans. However, Iris's social conservatism led her to becoming a strong Bush supporter and increasingly involved in Republican politics. She campaigned for Huckabee in 2008 and then Santorum in 2012 before supporting Ted Cruz in 2016. Naturally had very conflicting feelings about Donald Trump but ended up voting for him in November seeing a slight resemblance to Travis Bickle. Naturally Trump's pro-Evangelical policies transformed her from a reluctant to enthusiastic Trump supporter, something reinforced by her belief in Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theories though she rejected QAnon theories due to it being absurd to someone who had been a child prostitute herself. Also like Bickle, Iris was convinced the 2020 election was stolen and she ended up running into him again in the storming of the Capitol though she avoided arrest. Currently leading an effort to raise a legal defense fund for Bickle. Betsy: Remained involved in New York Democratic Party politics after her work for the Palantine campaign. Moved somewhat to the centre and often participated in pro-choice activism. She frequently worked for Hillary Clinton from her 2000 Senate campaign onwards and in 2016 she was a regional organizer for her Presidential campaign. Strongly involved in Resistance activism afterwards and backed Buttigieg in the 2020 primaries. Worked on Biden's general election campaign as well as Max Rose's unsuccessful re-election run. Tom: Moved on from politics to software engineering after 1976. Supported Anderson in 1980, but otherwise was something of a bellwether voter until 2016 (though he backed Gore in 2000) due to his mixture of socially liberal and fiscally conservative views. Disliked Trump however and ended up supporting Gary Johnson in 2016. Obviously voted for Biden in 2020. Carl Palantine: Still alive at the age of 91 and something of an Elder Statesman in the Democratic Party. Strongly identified with the progressive wing of the party, giving endorsements for Obama in 2008 and Bernie Sanders in both 2016 and 2020. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: 𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆 on June 17, 2023, 04:13:49 AM I know that putting 16th-century characters into our contemporary understanding of politics is way beyond absurd, but I want to do The Taming of the Shrew just because I can. I'll try to approximate characters to the 21st century. I'll also be very wrong. I want to bring this back but using the 2022 Italian election because after all the play is set in Padua. I guess this version will use slightly different vibes. Baptista is a wealthy and very conservative professional so he seems like an obvious FdI voter. Bianca definitely voted Azione/Italia Viva because her personality suggests shallow, performative liberalism, while Katherina as a rebel from this sort of family starts as a Green-Left voter but after her taming she presumably adopts Petruchio's politics... and Petruchio is the male chauvinist we all know but also a fairly well-off (and presumably educated) young man so I get the feeling he might vote Azione. Lucentio is a vain liberal arts student so he goes for AVS, or in any case definitely the centre-left coalition. Grumio and Tranio as I mentioned in my original post are hard to fit in the contemporary world but the characterization I used means they'd likely go for the M5S. Gremio is an unpleasant old man lusting after women less than half his age, which makes him almost too obvious a fan of Berlusconi, although I can see him even better choosing Lega in particular. Hortensio is a complete loser so of course he votes PD. Title: Re: "Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread Post by: Samof94 on June 17, 2023, 06:16:07 AM Dr Who Series 1

Wanting to murder the thugs in his neighborhood is not an "issue". All he does is mindlessly drive around and hang out in porno theaters.

Othello updated to the 21st century came up in a different thread and Nathan described him as "a Luciana Lamorgese-esque unideological center-left-adjacent national security institutionalist" which feels correct; this probably means PD although at the time I was tempted to put him with Calenzi. Desdemona should have the same opinions of her husband; the very fact that she married an Arab Muslim after falling in love with his life story makes me think she would be repulsed by the radical right. Iago is a resentful racist junior military officer, obvious Lega voter. His wife Emilia goes along with him for the most part but is also cynical and not actually submissive, although my experience suggests this kind of person could also vote Lega or more likely FdI by 2022. Cassio is loyal to Othello, gets played like a fool and everything else about him (Florentine, most interested in theoretical education) also points towards the PD. Cassio's lover Bianca has a minor role but I also imagine her to be a centre-left voter. Roderigo is a profligate wealthy man who is too self-interested to be fully committed to Iago's plan, I'll say he goes for A/IV. Brabantio is an old rich influential politician somewhat prejudiced towards Othello, presumably an ex-DC who then joined Forza Italia. The remaining characters with positions of power, who should approximate to Italian government ministers in the current age, likely share Othello's politics.

Taissa: The fact that she is herself an elected officeholder from Monmouth County suggests Murphy; the fact that she's implied to have run as an "outsider" progressive suggests Kim. Gun to my head, she tepidly supports Murphy at first but switches to Kim once Murphy starts struggling in the county endorsement processes. Shauna: Nothing about the adult version of Shauna suggests that she would be anything other than a conventional-wisdom Moderate D hack and a locked-in Murphy voter who might even take the canned feminist aspect of her campaign seriously. Natalie: Kim, because she's an iconoclast and (especially for the type of character she is otherwise) not especially liable to support women for the sake of supporting women. Misty: Canonically does not vote except for Taissa. Lottie: Canonically no longer lives in New Jersey. Van: Canonically no longer lives in New Jersey. Jackie: Canonically no longer lives.

Jo: Like Billie Chambers, reliably votes for Democrats for President and Congress but is open to voting for Republicans at the state and local levels for law-and-order reasons. Lucas: Doesn’t vote.

Unclear how far left, but "sucks it up and votes for the PD every time" seems appropriate. Arianna: Canonically a strong Berlusconi supporter; this comes as a shock to the viewer as much as to Alessandro but precisely for this reason we can assume it never changes. Stanis: Very pretentious, with a misplaced simulacrum of intellectual curiosity, a weird sort of oikophobia and various bizarre tics. He seems much more opinionated than he is political, if he votes at all I imagine it's somewhere on the left or centre for respectability purposes. Duccio: Regular cocaine user who often lazies on the job and hails from Messina. He has the demeanour of a non-voter, although in times after the original series is set I could see him as a Five Star as well. Biascica: Rough guy who tends to speak in vernacular and has one of the most stereotypically working class stagecraft occupations, being an electrician. Quite possibly a centre-left voter who then moves to the M5S and then to the hard right, also known as a realigner in the jargon. Itala: Surely, she votes for whoever she thinks promises better pensions. I have no idea otherwise. Sergio: Mysterious, crafty, without qualms and someone who has been in jail multiple times. Probably likes centrist corrupt politicians. Lorenzo: Enthusiastic intern who is mistreated by everyone, in the third season he tries to use his uncle's election to the Senate for career advancement purposes despite having opposite politics to him. Very blatant in my opinion that Lorenzo is left-wing and his uncle is a Berlusconi ally. Corinna: Ridiculously arrogant and annoying in a way that makes Stanis a positive role model in comparison. Also the mistress of the TV network's president, so probably votes the way the latter wants (right-wing I assume?). |
