Fine, I'll say it. I'll vote for Vermin Supreme if he is the Democratic nominee


Supreme glitter bombs Randall Terry during a forum, December 2011


2016 Presidential campaign
Supreme is making another presidential run in 2016. He has embarked on a tour of 20 cities to build support for his campaign and says he hopes to qualify for matching funds from the FEC.


Political views
In a promotional video, Supreme discussed his political views. He stated he was registered Republican at that time, but that he leaned toward anarchism. He asserted that libertarians "are just about abolishing the government and letting shit fall where it may," which he called a mistake; he also asserted that Republicans want to nullify the government, but "offer no alternative to helping people other than charity." Supreme's vision of anarchism holds no need for government, but also depends on citizens to take responsibility for themselves and for others, citing "mutual aid and support and care to our fellow citizens" as key elements. To reach that end, Supreme called for a gradual dismantling of the government, while citizens take up the slack. He asserted that Americans do not know anymore how to be citizens, placing some of the blame on schools that teach in "very twisted and jingoistic fashion".

In the video, Supreme discussed his presidential campaign. He describes his "joke humor" campaign as a response to the lies people are fed by the media and the government.


This is who Hillary should be terrified of.
