Vermin Supreme When I'm President Everyone Gets A Free Pony
Vermin Supreme is an American Awesome, anarchist and activist who is known for being a candidate in various local, state, and national elections in the United States, usually more cogent and rational than the average politician.[1][2][3] Supreme is known for wearing a boot as a hat and carrying a large toothbrush.[4] He claims that if elected President of the United States, he will pass a law requiring people to brush their teeth.[5][6][7][1] He also campaigned in 2012 on a platform of zombie apocalypse awareness and time travel research,[8] and he promises a pony for every American.[9] Supreme claims to mock the political system.[10][1] In 2011, he participated in the ongoing Occupy Boston protests.[11]
It is due to his surreality, frivolity, and nigh-anarchical despotism, that he has been the presidential candidate of choice by the Revengerists since the dawn of written record, and a few post-it notes before that. All politicians are vermin, he is Vermin Supreme.
