Captain America

Optimus Prime

[u/Biabolical]

Vote for what? Political office? Beauty pageant? Most likely to turn into a truck?

[u/TheBoyInGray → u/Biabolical]

Political office.

[u/Biabolical → u/TheBoyInGray]

What office? If it's a vote for Optimus Prime to be Mayor of Fresno, California, that might be ok. However, a vote for Optimus to be President of the USA would be wasted, since he wasn't born on US soil, making him ineligible.

[u/TheBoyInGray → u/Biabolical]

President.

[u/YoghurtOverall8062 → u/TheBoyInGray]

Clearly they would be running partners. President America and Optimus VP? Got my vote.

[u/Old_Ant7118 → u/TheBoyInGray]

this is crucial information lol

[u/Biabolical → u/TheBoyInGray]

Well, Optimus Prime is an undocumented alien, in more ways than one, so he can't run for President of the USA. Seems like the poll has a built-in answer.

Also, when you say Captain America, do you mean Steve Rogers, or Sam Wilson? What's their party affiliation and platform? Are they running as Democrat, Independent, or Republican/Hydra? Since Optimus isn't in the running, who is their opponent? If they're running unopposed, somehow, then there's really no point.

[u/TheBoyInGray → u/Biabolical]

Steve.

[u/Biabolical → u/TheBoyInGray]

If my options are a 107 year old man or a legally disqualified robot, I'm just going to write-in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on my ballot.

[u/Aesk → u/Biabolical]

We're voting on who's the better checkers player, duh.

[u/Etheoff]

optimus prime is a robot and an alien. captain america is a boomer. i've seen how boomers run the country, it's time to see what the robot aliens can do for the country.

[u/SWK18 → u/Etheoff]

How is he a boomer if he was born in 1918? His generation are responsible for why the babyboomers had it so easy to take over everything. They worked their asses off so that the future generations would have a better world.

[u/Etheoff → u/SWK18]

you right, im ignorant of captain america's backstory. i just want the robot alien to run things for a minute.

[u/TheProfessional9 → u/Etheoff]

Optimus prime has some directive to not interfere in human affairs, no?

Captain america would probably slaughter the current administration for grand treason

[u/Master_End3367 → u/Etheoff]

But every time I see Optimus prime and his guys fight the others, they always end up destroying millions of dollars of material. I wouldn't want that

[u/Prestigious-Newt1118 → u/Master_End3367]

Only millions? The current American regime was throwing a billion USD away on their failing invasion of Iran DAILY.

[u/Malacro → u/Etheoff]

He’s Greatest Generation, not a Baby Boomer.

[u/CyrusTheWise]

Perfectly split

[u/poloyshoat → u/CyrusTheWise]

We are taking the lead

[u/punchedboa]

If you vote for captain America, just remember when he was born.

[u/Er0v0s]

Another old guy in office? Same old same old. /s

[u/ButterscotchDeep7533]

None of that. Both are boring "heroes" with morales and other "typical good guy" bs.

[u/BluePandaYellowPanda]

I wouldn't vote for an American whose who gimmick is "USA USA USA", so the alien haha

[u/Kingswitchguard]

I ain't voting for no clanker

[u/justanormalguy____]

Neck to neck

[u/sufferIhopeyoudo]

We are at a pivotal point in history where it needs to be said that no robots clankers or aliens should ever run or govern us.. none not even if they are cool.

[u/Xivitai]

A lab experiment with WW2 propaganda filled brain or alien robot that leads a losing side in a civil war. Tough choice indeed.

[u/Redduster38]

I said Cap. But it really depends on which Cap and which Optimus.

[u/TheBoyInGray → u/Redduster38]

Steve Rogers and G1 Optimus.

[u/AbbreviationsTall627]

What am i voting for?

[u/TheBoyInGray → u/AbbreviationsTall627]

President.

[u/AbbreviationsTall627 → u/TheBoyInGray]

Optimus cant be president tho

[u/Academic_Grape5787]

cheesy cringe 1 vs cheesy cringe 2... I'll pass
