i feel like Goku would do well with the younger demographics but they would be outnumbered by the boomers and gen Xers who would vote for Superman
Both are “illegal aliens”
I straight up just now realized they have the same origin story.
an American presidential election? Goku isn’t a citizen but because the Dems don’t give a shit about DACA recipients Superman probably isn’t either. So it’s a tossup
Goku hands down. People are tired of American super heroes, and chuds probably think Goku would destroy the “Woke” because he’s Asian coded and also very buff.
Meanwhile if Goku did get in he would just train and eat and leave everyone alone mostly. But also if he caught his fellow politicians doing something crooked he is the kind of guy to challenge them to a fight. While Saiyans are very “might makes right”, Goku was raised by humans and at least has a very strong dislike of slavers and imperial conquerers, even other Saiyans (other than Vegeta for some stupid reason).
God I’m a nerd
Superman is the personification of the American way, so he would suppress goku’s supporters, buy off the counters, send out death squads to hunt down people campaigning for goku, and if all else fails just overthrow goku’s government.
Isn’t Goku just a flat out god?
superman is generally agreed to beat goku in a one on one by powerscaling nerds (and goku is not a god, he is friends with a couple tho)
They’d be on the same ticket you dunce
Tangentially and tenuously related: You ever consider what it’d be like to be Superman? The sheer powerlessness of having infinite personal power and wanting to find a way to just brute force society into not sucking and realizing you just flatly cannot? (Iunno insert Terry Pratchett, thru Granny Whetherwax, frequent admonition that a rule created thru magic would have to be enforced by magic, read: violence)
Yes I read Red Son the first time I said this on the internet and people told me to, it didn’t quite address what I’m thinking about, neat comic I guess but I’m not particularly into comics.
Goku solos
however, consider Goku vs Kazuma Kiryu
