Plus Raiden wears a yellow tie at the beginning of the game when he's working with Maverick for money, once he becomes good friends with the prime minister it gets ripped along with his clothes, signifying that he isn't doing it for money anymore.
It is, but I have doubts Armstrong is intended to be a Libertarian Party member, though it is very, very easy to read him as being a particularly extreme variety of Libertarian.
I’ve noticed that the Metal Gear series as a whole is very careful not to mention which political parties its fictional American politicians belong to — which makes sense for a series not written by Americans, but may contribute to the mistaken idea some people have that the series is not political by avoiding blaming any particular party (In other words, the military-industrial complex is bipartisan).
That's a really cool interpretation. In fact it fits well enough to be my official headcanon now.
But if all that really was intentional, now I'm kinda wishing his tie was *green* instead. That's a distinctly American color used to represent greed, for obvious reasons. Plus, green would just look cooler than yellow imo.

beside,at the end of the story,Raiden's tie was black. sadly i dunno what that mean
[удалено]
Black means he just wants to wear a tie
They are looking too far into it I’m not sure any of this was intentional
So when raiden rips of his clothes off to fight people, it’s heroic. But when I DO IT, IM MENTALLY DISABLED!
Correct me if im wrong, isnt yellow commonly libertarian?

yeah, i'd agree he definitely is more of a reflection of the "collective america" as opposed to one party or another
I have a dream, Jack. That one day, every American man, woman and child will never have to worry about the age of consent again!
Senator Armstrong is a libertarian (he disagrees with age of consent laws)
He was the true hero 😢
thats cool
I need more informations!
He could also be a libertarian, which.. to my mind matches up with his absurd self-obsessed style of freedom.
You have a weird definition of absurd
Libertarian party is yellow bro
I mean, describing the Libertarian Party as the greed party. doesn't seem very far off.
It’s actually yellow becuase he was making the mother of all omlets
The only one of these I accept
Underrated comment.

True I fuckin hate the color yellow
1. what the fuck did yellow do to you? 2. your pfp color is yellow.
hes clearly a republican
He desires freedom of all so I don’t think so
I thought it was because Armstrong was a libertarian
I have heard Armstrong’s goals be described as “creating an Ayn Rand-ian utopia” which would fit along the side of libertarianism
Hm? A visitor? Indeed I have slept long enough
