I think Steve would be a Republican until he found out about the discriminatory side of it because he doesn't seem like the sort of person who would align himself with people like that.

Coulson, Fury and Clint would be Democrats.

I don't think Natasha would care one way or the other.

Bruce is pretty sure either side would want to experiment on him.

Tony doesn't support anyone, because he knows damn well that both sides would want the suit.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-25 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, Tony would be a Republican because he wouldn't like being taxed.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-25 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Tony wouldn't care about being taxed--he doesn't have that much of an interest in his corporation.

I think Tony is an ex-Republican, actually. He's pretty against making military weapons, after all, so I can't imagine he'd be very pro-war or whatever.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-25 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Republican isn't necessarily pro-war. It's not like Democrats never go to war. (Hi, Clinton.)

(Anonymous) 2012-07-25 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

I never understand comments like this. Criticizing one of the two major parties for a thing does not imply support for other major party in that or any other regard. Whether the Democratic party is primarily pro-war has absolutely no bearing on whether the Republican party is.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-25 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
True, but if we're classifying fictional characters who've never addressed a lot of issues, we have to go with what we have. Movie!Tony seems in favor of small industries and government (Republican), is pretty anti-war (Democrat), pro-science (Democrat), and passed his company to a woman (Democrat). I haven't watched the movies in a while so I'm sure I'm missing things, but he seems to fall in the mid-range to me.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-25 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well Tony pretty obviously thinks the government are kind of incompetent and useless, so I think he'd feel that he was the one who generated his wealth, and the government have no right to just take it and waste it. I think if you pointed out anything useful the government does do he'd still on some level be thinking "Stark Industries could do it better and more efficiently". You only have to look at how pleased with himself he was when he said "I have successfully privatized world peace" to know that his perspective on politics is more right wing than left wing.

(I actually think he'd be more of a libertarian, to be honest, but I still think he'd vote republican.)

(Anonymous) 2012-07-25 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed hard. Tony doesn't, I think, care enough about money to care that much about taxes? I mean, he likes having his money, but he's a smart guy - he knows that paying taxes isn't going to put him on the street or even crimp his budget a little bit.

And yeah, with how pro-war Republicans are, I can't see Tony gelling with them anymore. Maybe in the past, but not now. I think he'd also get kicked in the shin by Pepper every time he even looked at the Republican voting box not vote Republican because he'd support women's rights.

Tony Stark is the only one in the group that I see as having any kind of clear political leaning and he seems like he'd be a card-carrying Libertarian to me

Me, I don't see Tony caring except for the parts where he wants government to stop telling him what to do--taxes and so on aren't his problem because he's so wealthy I'm not even sure he knows how much money he has and he doesn't seem to be particularly greedy with it.

So some libertarian but only as much as it serves him. What the government does to other people isn't his problem unless it's killing bunches of them or something.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-26 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hell, I'm betting Tony doesn't even vote.

He tries to delegate it to Pepper and gets mad that it's not legal to have her go vote in his place.

Really, it's not as if Tony's going to listen to what the government says in the first place. I can't see him being politically aware at all.

By the older definition of Libertarian, I'd agree. The current Tea Party Libertarians, I don't really see.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-26 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a hardcore Libertarian, and I refuse to be put in the same label as the Tea Party, thanks. They're not Libertarians. They're just angry Republicans.

Unfortunately, they're what the rest of the world thinks now when they hear "Libertarian". :-\

Tony has more money than God. (Well, at least Movie!Tony at present.) He wouldn't care about taxes and would probably like Democrats more because they throw better parties.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-26 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha, can you imagine Tony in a Republican fundraiser party? I can practically hear the outraged gasps from here!

[personal profile] mekkio 2012-07-26 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Tony wouldn't set foot at one of those. Too boring and no one can take a joke. He would just call up and say, "How much do you want in order for you to leave me alone?" Then he would just write a check.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-26 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed!

(Anonymous) 2012-07-25 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
This...maybe, until he realized that both parties are about equal on the discriminatory scare, just in vastly different ways.

Both parties discriminate equally?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-28 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure I understand what you mean about both parties being equally discriminatory. Unless you mean the Democrats give more lip service than actual advocacy. Who do the Democrats discriminate against that the Republicans don't?
