Some explanation of his platform from this:

“It is a boot that has absolute magic that has allowed me to exponentially amplify my First Amendment free speech voice, and communicate with people around the world,” he told Boston Public Radio in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

The boot is also a symbol, he said, of the media's obsession with candidates. “Personnel from the media will ask me about the boot and I tell them that the boot is a pile of excrement and that they are the flies that buzz around it,” said Vermin Supreme.

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.”

He also runs on a promise of mandatory toothbrushing laws, “because gingivitis has been eroding the country's gum line for long enough and must be stopped."

He's run as a democrat, republican, and libertarian, but got furthest as a libertarian.

weird. what are your thoughts on Jill Stein?

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

She's not perfect, but I plan on voting for her. A large green turnout will get the democrats in trouble with their donors more than a bunch of abstains will. That's not much, but it's pretty good for filling in a bubble on a form I was going to fill out anyway.

I think she makes a great case for her viability, was kind of annoyed to see her on Geopolitical Economy Hour but then I remembered Mike Hudson's whole talk with Kucinich surprisingly ruled. And this also ruled. One minor pushback they gave her was against the Israel lobby controlling USA type talk (a reversal). Also they mentioned many benefits of her running even without winning, although she is trying a lot harder than PSL and actually could.
