    WTF is this part supposed to mean?

    wasn’t on the ballot, it was still chock-full of candidates like the boot-on-head-wearing Vermin Supreme, Rep. Dean Phillip, and Marianne Williamson

    Are they calling Dean Phillip a vermin supreme or did someone named Vermin Supreme actually get on the ballot?

        Dean Phillips could be the apositive to Vermin Supreme, or both Vermin Supreme and Dean Phillips could be separate items in the list.

      Vermin Supreme is a person who literally wears a boot on his head and is in politics. I don’t know what his platform his, but I’m pretty sure I don’t want to vote for him.

        You should watch the video where he throws glitter on one of the other candidates and yells that they’re “turning gay”. https://youtu.be/O5nj_aex3QA?feature=shared (then you’ll want to vote for him)

        Is it really fair to say he is “in politics” though? Seems more like he just runs in elections.

      There’s a guy who calls himself Vermin Supreme. He wears a boot on his head and iirc claims to be a libertarian. He runs for president every year and never comes even close to winning anywhere.

      Edit: meant to say he runs for president every election. He obviously couldn’t run every year.
