"Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread

[bagelman]

Simpsons:

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.

All 13 as of 2009, making these kids all 21.

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.

Butters: Whoever his parents tell him to vote for.

Safe Trump. In the unlikely scenario where his parents convert to Biden, Cartman will get in his head and keep him on the Trump train.

What I want to see is a collective reaction from the town at large when they realize that Colorado is not Tossup, or Lean D, or Likely D, but Safe D. The town had been at war with itself for the past few months (probably literally in a farcical way) but if they had gone >90% Trump it wouldn't matter because Denver.
