In a recent episode of Broad City, our heroes Abbi and Ilana spent a day volunteering for their chosen candidate in this year’s presidential primaries. That candidate turned out to be Hillary Clinton, a fact that led some people to wonder if the fictional Ilana, a big-eyed dreamer if ever there was one, might actually support Bernie Sanders instead. (There was no suggestion that Abbi and Ilana, young college-educated white women who live in New York’s outer boroughs, might be Republicans.) Ultimately, it was a pointless debate: In Broad City canon, Abbi and Ilana are Hillary supporters. But what about the other characters on television who haven’t yet taken an official position in the rare New York primary that matters? Well, that’s what we’re here to find out. Below, find our best guesses for the political positions of the dozens of characters who have called New York home over the years. There were only two qualifications necessary: You had to be conceivably alive in 2016 (sorry, Lucy and Desi) and you had to live in New York State (sorry, Tony Soprano — though, come to think of it, that last one might have applied to him, too).
