    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?

      Vermin Supreme is a real person.

        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.
