==The Politics of Other ''Daria'' Characters, in Canon==
===Jake and Helen Morgendorffer===
Both of them were hardcore hippies during the 60s, against the "rat race" and one time protesting outside the Pentagon. They show no real trace of their hippie past in the present day, and in "[[The New Kid]]" used "hippies" as a slur. In another episodes like "That Was Then, This Is Dumb", they had some secret shame for turning their back on their old ideals and Jake has expressed loathing over becoming a white-collar worker ("[[The Teachings of Don Jake]]").
Their current politics aren't really known, though Helen's job means she's had to defend some very dodgy clients indeed ("[[The Daria Diaries"]]). She's expressed annoyance over what women have to go through in the workplace.
Jake once tried to argue with [[Andrew Landon]] about "welfare cheats", only to get easily swayed to his point of view. Helen tried to calm him down and spoke out in favour of welfare. ("[[Gifted]]")
