One of the good weirdos.

Vermin Supreme is running on a platform that includes free ponies for all Americans, time travel research and using zombies to create energy by harnessing “the latest in hamster wheel technology.”

    The best part is that if you ever find examples of him talking about his politics without doing the bit, he’s essentially a coherent, reasonable social anarchist who knows his shit.

    It’s why he’s so effective as a political satirists. He’s almost certainly better informed and holds more nuanced political positions than trump ever has.

    When the man with a boot on his head yelling into a loudspeaker about dental care and ponies is honestly a more reasonable and moderate political candidate than one of the major political parties… That says something.

      Vermin Supreme is legitimately not only a better choice than Trump, but also better than many of the other presidential candidates of the last couple of decades (including even some Democrats!). I would unironically vote for him if I thought he had a chance of winning.

      As an adult I’ve realized that’s an incredibly important message. We’ve ignored him and dismissed him as a novelty, but he’s actually using the platform of running for president to spread some incredibly important messages and to do it without ever risking taking the reins of power. Someday, history, if we succeed in preserving our history and the planet we live on, will remember him fondly as someone who spoke truth to us and made the message palatable. Vermin Supreme is a true american hero, one who shows us that sacrifice comes in many forms
