Cassandra would never get endorsed by David Duke, for one.

Why only republicans, liberals, and conservatives?

The political spectrum somewhere more colorful: royalists, socialists, communist, nationalists, christian democrats, christian socialists, social democrats...

What's with the Christian socialists/democrats anyways? I know they're in Germany, but they don't seem particularly religious. Isn't Merkel one?

[straykat]

lol.. both religion AND politics. I have no fear

I think I heard a Venatori say that Corypheus is going to #MakeTevinterGreatAgain.

In their name: definitely   (I dont speak specifically from Merkels party – only in general)

Well, I did mention socialism, libertarians, anarchism, altruistic anarchism, and communism. I just mainly debated over republican or democrat considering those are the only two major political parties. The others are mostly only third-parties, but sometimes have candidates in the major parties whom represent them (like Bernie Sanders, whom is socialist democrat; or Rand Paul, who was a libertarian republican.)

 

However, if Cole did not runaway away from politics, I would say he would lean towards the Green Party.

I just read a little on the German CDU.. it's kind of interesting actually. The Christian slant was supposed to be unifying and principled, and to avoid the faults of the Weimar..

 

Anyways... I don't want to derail (not that this thread really matters ).

[Aravasia]

You guys are jinxing the thread!! I honestly don't see how comparing which companions views represent modern American political philosophies is different from comparing which Thedasian countries represent our own world's countries (which is a common topic on the bsn), provided that people are not biasing their interpretations of characters based on their own personal political opinions.

Sorry. I don't mind it. It's more that someone else is bound to ruin things. And the mods know this, so they tend to ban subjects like this fairly quickly.

Ugh, the mods. They need to learn how to do more than nuke threads. You know, like moderate

 

*cough* Anyway!

Right, you have point, I have not read it all, sorry then.

 

Perhaps an interesting game, but it seems pretty superfluous. There are so much Various political views, I just wanted to point out this.

It inherently means making judgements and comments about current politics. Whereas comparisons with countries tend to be historical or based on relatively uncontroversial things like the origins of place names or what accents are used.

Well, I would just add..

 

It's simplified like this because ultimately there are 4 points that politics spin on. And these other issues (like Christianity) are just various shades. Libertarian, Authoritarian, Liberal, Conservative

 

American politics aren't any different.

I do not see why they would as long as people are tolerant and do not attack others. I created this more for unbiased evaluations on what the companions would believe, though.

I get warnings for the silliest things.. That's all I'm saying.

 

Like saying EDI had a "cameltoe". Which she does. And I'm not even the one who designed her. They did! lol

I agree. I dislike limiting things to two-parties, but I did actually wish to hear others interpretations on companions and the less mainstream political platforms.

Its not that simple but possible. And that's why I do not want to classify myself / anyone in a single political trend.

To be fair, I did not really mean to ask whether the users supported a certain political ideal or not, just what they believed each of the companions would support.

People will always shift on different issues.. maybe a little liberal and libertarian socially, but authoritarian on some things (like many American Democrats are for more gun control). But generally speaking, they have principles or a platform.

 

You might not, but most people do.

[cdizzle2k3]

.... I honestly just thought it was an interesting topic that the BSN would be able to hold a intelligent and rational conversation on..

 

Online political debates rarely turn out well... That being said, I'd have to agree with your points on who would be affiliated with what political party.Except I wouldn't tihnk Sera would be affiliated with a political party, especially one that wants the government to play a bigger role. The whole "top % shouldn't be hoarding all the wealth" viewpoint that Bernie stands on, she could get behind, but for the most part, I'd see her just wanting to abolish structured government all together. She'd probably cast her vote for "Deez Nuts".

[Aravasia]

I actually agree with this, but, in America's modern politics it ends up only being two political platforms to choose from (though, notably, the candidates do vary somewhat within those parties) so, unless one here does not plan to vote, then they would need to decide which to align with.

[greenbrownblue]

With the upcoming election in America, this came into mind: which political party do you believe each of the companions would belong to? Who do you think they would vote for in the upcoming election? Which would your Inquisitor belong to?

 

Here are some of my ideas. These are all part of the American political system, but if you have ideas on other systems, please share!

 

 

 

Cassandra: conservative republican, but not intolerantly orthodox considering she has a rather open mind; perhaps would be voting for Mark Rubio? I would say that she is closer towards the middle ground between Republican and Democrat, and this follows with what she accomplishes as divine

 

Sera: definitely a liberal, definitely democrat over republican; believes in taking from the rich to give to the poor, but does not wish to completely abolish the system given her conversations with Solas, so I am going with socialist over anarchist; definitely would be voting for Bernie Sanders

 

Vivienne: Republican, she does not like reform and enjoys keeping things the way they are, given her actions as divine; values capitalism given her taste for luxury and how she enjoys climbing the latter; Trump appears as the most capitalist candidate, so I imagine she would be voting for him

 

Blackwall: conservative and republican

 

Iron Bull: He is slightly more difficult, I would say that he personally is liberal over conservative, but he has fairly strict adherence to the qun, which is closer to a conservative communist society

 

Solas: Outwardly criticizes the qun; believes highly in personal freedom, individual thought, and equality; highly dislikes authority and those whom abuse power; brought down his own government system without replacing it - if not an altruistic anarchist, then a libertarian

 

Leliana: Democrat; believes in substantial and swift reform; does not value traditionalism; likes being shady - would vote for Hillary Clinton

 

Dorian: believes highly in reform and breaking the status quo - liberal

 

Cullen: values strong military force and presence; is more conservative than liberal

 

Varric: I would say liberal and democratic over conservative or republican, but he probably just hates politics

Would rather see a comparision to phylosophical doctrines or sth ^^ ... 

[Dai Grepher]

Cassandra 4 Cruz, because religion... and not much else. Grandiose ideas about fixing government?

Sera |-|> Hillary, because similar hairstyles, and Hillary's logo has an arrow. Plus, criminals need to come together. Hehehehehehehe.

Dorian would vote Kasich, because he's okay with same-sex couples being recognized as being married, claims to be blue collar when in fact he's part of the elites, and wants some government reforms.

Varric would vote None of the Above, because all politicians are lying schemers.

Blackwall would vote Rubio, because he's a two-face pretending to be better than he really is, makes crude innuendos, and favors a path to citizenship for illegal... um, mages.

Cole would not vote because he would be too busy talking about the ballot in the form of a riddle. Then he'd forget to vote.

Vivienne would vote Trump! Make Thedas Great Again! Build walls! Make others pay for it! Crush all your enemies! Fix the economy! More Trump Champagne over here darling!

Solas would vote for Hillary, because he wants this world to burn in the raw chaos.

The Iron Bull would vote for Sanders, because he's for free re-education for all, taking from the top and redistribution, and top-down authoritarianism.

Cullen would vote Trump, because of militaristic reasons.

Josephine would vote Kasich, because she would like his diplomatic approach and focus on fiscal matters. And she likes cupcakes.

Leliana would vote Hillary, because she admires those who play dirty to win.

[Wulfram]

To be fair, I did not really mean to ask whether the users supported a certain political ideal or not, just what they believed each of the companions would support.

The implications are fairly unavoidable. I mean, if I was to note Sera's racism and intolerance and suggest that she would support a particular candidate, my own opinions would be fairly clear.
