Why I might seriously vote for a man who wears a boot on his head.

If you aren't familiar, Vermin Supreme is politically... well, something. A bit of a character. Kind of like the “the rent is too damn high” guy or “Lord Buckethead.”

Vermin has run in before. For the past 30 years, he claims. In the past he has advocated for mandatory tooth brushing laws as well as for free ponies for every American which also double as a form of ID. These positions and policies are just jokes. Like Stephen Colbert’s persona in the Colbert report.

This election, things are different for Vermin. This year, for the first time, Vermin is actually taking the campaign seriously. Listen to him at one of the libertarian debates.

I'm in shock. This year he is also the only candidate with any name recognition at all. So I really might vote for him in this upcoming primary. Now, does this mean I will vote for him in the general election? I don't know about that yet. Let's take it one step at a time.

I am a little sad to be missing out on some of the other interesting primaries. The democrats certainly have some interesting things going on. And as a blog that loves to talk about UBI, Andrew Yang is pretty interesting (although, as I live in California, which is a state that votes pretty late in the primary process, I often don’t actually get to vote for the candidates that interest me. It seems Andrew Yang recently dropped out before I would have had a chance to support him. This same thing happened to me in 2016, when Donald Trump was the presumptive nominee before I even got to vote.)

On the republican side, Bill Weld is pretty interesting too. He is taking one delegate so far from the sitting president, which honestly is quite a feat. I am very happy for him. I voted for him in 2016 and would happily do so again.

Also, be on the lookout, as the blog has an exciting update post coming out shortly to talk a little about where the authors of the blog have been and the state of the blog.
