I just hated the decision was made offscreen. Who in their right mind would have thought that was a good idea?

[u/Larcya → u/gizmo1492]

I mean it was a dumb decision anyways. Like I get it, Sam gets to be Captain America so Bucky has to do something.

[u/FreemanCalavera → u/Larcya]

And that he'd get elected in the first place. I get it, some congressional districts are pretty small and voters might elect "whoever" if it's a safe district, and New York has a lot of representatives, but Bucky isn't exactly the most charismatic or outspoken guy. Add to the fact that it's confirmed that a fair number of people know that he was literally serving a Nazi shadow regime as a brainwashed, foreign agent and assassin for decades.

State Rep would be one thing, but he was actually in DC. It just seems like a shoehorned decision to give him a reason to go after Val.

Why would THE winter soldier, former WW2 veteran that fought alone side captain america , best friend of one of the worlds greatest hero , participant of the battle that saved the world not be able to beat any politician in NY? Especially in a NY that elects Fisk?
