I don't know anything about MGS lore so I'll just go with the eyepatch dude.

Solidus. He only wanted to free america from it's shackles. Armstrong wanted to dominate.

You retard. You fucked up.

Solidus had a better speech

They're basically the same dude. Armstrong took his memes from Solidick.
Though admittedly Armstrong isn't a rapidly aging clone so he'd actually live long enough to see his country through

Both are the same

Solidus writes his own speeches

Solidus was an actual patriot.

Writing in Fatman so that he'll hopefully launch the entire nuclear arsenal 5 minutes after being sworn in.

George was actually President so...

George Sears by a landslide.

No they aren't. Armstrong is closer to Big Boss than Solidus. Desparado only took Solidus' superficial traits like the child soldier stuff, Solidus was more than that. Solidus' motivation was actually correct and he cared about the individual while Armstrong is making a world where he will flourish while he oppresses "weaker" individuals(sounds like Patriot talk)

Obviously Solidus is the incumbent running for re-election with Armstrong running the opposition party.

Solidus because he was right

Before I used to think Armstrong was just hastily written but now I think I might truly understand what he was going for, now that I've seen this wretched, anti-democratic system for what it is.

I will never by any means accept the idea that someone is right to lead just because they have the power to do so, but the power of people unifying, whether it's by democracy or by force as a militia, to stand up against an unjust leader is one that shouldn't be ignored. Our system genuinely needs to be torn the fuck down and rebuilt, piece by piece, by the people who built this country, and not the people who stood on top of our backbreaking labor with whips and whistles, dangling carrots on sticks in the form of paychecks in front of our face. I don't know or care what that future looks like, because anything is better than what we have now, so long as it's run by the people. We have to reset. Armstrong definitely wanted to control shit, and is just like every single other politician - Trump included - in that his promises are really just him trying to weaponize the general complaints of the population into something to get him into power.

So, with that all said, I'm thinking Solidus. The people are controlled by their systems and their government, where ironically it was supposed to be the inverse since its inception. Armstrong is basically the bad praxis of Solidus' ideas personified and is also a good commentary how Solidus could just as easily turn out as evil as Armstrong if given power. No one will ever say "give me the reigns so that I can give them to everyone at once." The reigns must be seized forcibly.

No gods, no masters. Only man.

Think I'd vote for whichever candidate would give us a game worth playing.

It goes back to the old tree of liberty refreshed with blood of patriots and tyrants quote. It's an old idea that people are too afraid to try but we really need that tree cut down soon. Too bad we will be forced to give up our guns to save the "children" soon

>Armstrong is closer to Big Boss than Solidus
No-one is closer to Big Boss than Solidus, user.

In physical appearance, yes. In terms of ideology, no. Big Boss wanted complete and total "freedom", where there is no government. Solidus just wanted the Patriots gone, his ideals match up with what actually happened to world in MGS4's end.

Solidus's goals in MGS2 were surprisingly very noble but it's still fucked up that he used to be an African warlord that trained child soldiers like Raiden so it doesn't really paint a good image.

does anyone have that picture/art of Solidus dying looking up at George Washington?

In New York at the end of MGS2. Very powerful picture and moment. Can't find a good pic but I know it exists. Anyway, Solidus over Armstrong all day every day are you fucking kidding me?

George Sears all the way, baby
>skilled melee combatant
>octopus suit???
>assembled a strong cabinet

Homeboy literally dropped the phrase "make America great again" in his villain speech while fistfighting Raiden

>Is also the leader of the mandalorians

Armstrong no contest.

I don't vote.

Well I believe I'll vote for a third party candidate

>how to tell someone didn't play MGS2

Solidus had the better plan overall.
There's the whole child soldiers thing but Armstrong was doing the same shit except arguably even worse.

Patriots choose the outcome of elections anyway so it doesn't matter.

I'd just do the same I do now, not vote.
