Captain planet.

Maybe we'd finally actually do something about climate change and for an extra special bonus we get to see him kick the shit out of the likes of the Koch's and whatever demon spawn runs Nestle.

Side note: mufasa is my namesake! I'm just so super creative and ran it backwards lol

How would this work? What if some of the planeteers rebelled and refused to summon him?

He is summoned after the election results by force of law and then he isn't allowed to disappear until his term is up.

Not summoning a duly elected captain planet is punishable by no less than 6 years arguing against fox news propagandists and a fine of 3,600 dark chocolate bars paid to me personally. The impact of cocoa production on the environment would be an extra screw turn, forcing their hand.

RE: namesake creativity. Hey, at least you spelled it backwards correctly!

Hermes Conrad. He's got a level head and knows his way around a bureaucracy.

Keith David's president from Rick and Morty, because of the soothing baritone.

I mean we could just use Keith David in general right? Like would it necessarily have to be that version from Rick & Morty?

Brother she would be perfectly happy with Trump as president as long as that bitch Trudy Beekman lost all of her savings first.

If anyone from the archer cast is president im going Lana > Cyril > Pam > Krieger (The last would ensure our destruction, but we would certainly go out in a memorable way).

Both of the archers are right up there with Cheryl/Carol/Charlene for piss poor candidacy.

12

Eh.... idk man. Barry was redeemable at the end and barring a few cases, was surprisingly competent. Pretty sure we got spray tan Cheryl. (Nepo baby, you're never sure if theyre on drugs or just severely mentally deficient, and definitely unironically uses the phrase, "the poors")

They have the same vibe, but Lucille is kind of a buffoon, whereas Mallory gets shit done.

1

They're literally the same character, other than the fact that Lucille has to be more manipulative than Mallory. Mallory gets shit done directly because she is directly in charge. Lucille manipulates everyone around her, and gets shit done indirectly. It isn't as efficient, but it's the only path she has.

I'm going to cheat a little and say Captain Kirk from Star Trek TAS

Janeway from Prodigy. Or maybe somebody from Lower Decks, but I can't decide which.

10

Out of the big three captains, Janeway would likely make the most capable president. Kirk would constantly be trying to fist fight politicians, Picard would quickly be bored with the day-to-day and would vanish to go work on an archeological site somewhere.

Sisko would throw Mitch McConnell off the roof of the White House, then fall off of it himself.

13

He is from Iowa. But Spock would be a good Secretary of State (McCoy should be vice president to get the Southern vote).

Nice try big politics! You wont get my opinion!

Joking, I'd vote for the roadrunner.

I'm voting for coyote. His approval rating is catching up to roadrunners, I'm sure of it.

I want the whole band as president. Joint office shared by five dudes who just want everything to be black and metal all the time.

At least they're open about wanting people to die.

They'd get bored after a time and Charles Foster Offdensen would have to step in.

I mean Charles is incredibly competent at just about everything so...

Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she'd never stop till it was done.

12

And she is used to apologizing for idiots so she'd be able to alot in and rebuild international relationships.

Jessica Rabbit.

All those "women can't be president" douchebags would shut the fuck up and start becoming "nice guys" which would be cringy but at least it would get them to stop sabotaging the rest of us.

Spock would likely make a terrible president, purely because he’d be surrounded by illogical politicians who are constantly trying to backstab him. You need a president who is capable of not only being level-headed, but also capable of playing politics when it matters. The unfortunate truth is that politics often requires playing the long game, instead of simply finding consensus and getting shit done right away.

piefed.social

I'd be ok with that. I want it to be simply finding consensus and getting shit done right away. Also he would follow the law.

3

I can see the powers that be plotting an assassination. A rational, kind leader that doesn’t allow corporate greed? Can’t have that!

1

The coyote from Road Runner. He comes up with plans, some simple, some complex, and they always fail to work. Oh wait…

Space Ghost and Dino Boy Space Ghost or Space Ghost Coast to Coast Space Ghost?

There are many, many cartoon characters I would vote for over Trump, all the way down to other villainous incompetents like Dick Dastardly or Elmer Fudd.

My villain choice: Lex Luthor

My hero choice: The Martian Manhunter

lemmy.world

Lex Luthor.

Sure, he wants to kill Superman, that's not the best political stance, but other than that he'll basically just focus on fixing everything else that slows society down in order to have a society that's better at killing Superman.

Plus it's not like he's successful at killing Superman. So really it's a win-win.

So no difference from current situation we are in.

6

I don't think he'd want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He's no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people's issues and makes fair decisions if it's what you want to hear or not. He's also not too full of himself to admit when he's been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.

He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he'd likely trust a number of people he shouldn't to keep their word, he'd be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don't think people would like his "lack of personality" they'd get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.

Do comic books count? If yes I'd say Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan. If no, General Hunter Gathers from Venture Bros or Dale Gribble from King of the Hill. Maybe Uncle Duke from Doonesbury.

5

Uncle Duke? Man, that's a throwback!

Think I'll go listen to some Captain & Tennille, "Muskrat Love"

2

Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tales version). Dude knows how to manage people and balance a budget. Sure he might occasionally get obsessed with some treasure in the middle east but that's no different than most presidents.

Franziska von Karma. I was going to say Miles Edgeworth, but... let's face it, there are plenty of foolish fools in need of a whipping right now. 😌

(I know she's really a "game character", but she was in the anime, so she still counts. 🧑‍⚖️)

if i wanted to destroy the u.s., i'd vote for ralph wiggum.

if i wanted someone better than most presidents since lincoln, i'd vote for the lenin mummy from the simpsons.

Griffith, he is just so charismatic and determined. And those CURLS

King Bob, from Minions. We have to run through the RGB spectrum. Green would be Shrek, blue would be James P Sullivan

4

Senator Chris Zaxar Travers.

Wait, who are we voting for?

Who did I say I was gonna vote for?

Why did Trump run uncontested?

3

Just for the comedy that might ensue from how horrible of a president he'd be, my vote is Principal Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth with Buttlertron as his VP.

Either that, or if possible, as a slightly more serious answer, why not have someone like an actual scientist like Professor Professor from The Secret Show with Name Changed Daily as the VP ( or vice versa )? They already run a not-so-secret spy organization, so why not?

3

Professor X. He's already responsible with even more power, and this way people would choose to listen to him.

3

Satsuki Kiryuin, fuck it she might get our shit together.

OG Jesse Custer from The Preacher comic series, not the sanitized version from the series.
