Vermin Supreme, a self-proclaimed "friendly fascist", embarked on a presidential campaign with a unique platform, consisting of mandatory dental hygiene, harnessing the power of zombies, and granting every individual a pony. This political satirist and performance artist surprisingly secured 829 votes in the 2012 New Hampshire Democratic primary, earning 1.4% of the total vote. Although he trailed behind incumbent President Barack Obama and environmentalist Ed Cowan, Vermin Supreme's vote count was merely 117 less than Cowan's.
As a perennial candidate, Vermin Supreme is recognizable by his signature attire, consisting of a lime green jacket and multiple neckties. He often complements his outfit with a green plastic Hulk fist adorned with an American flag, serving as a cod piece. The focal point of his appearance, however, is his headgear: a large black rubber boot, commonly referred to as a wader. In 2008, he opted for a buckle-up boot known as galoshes.
Vermin Supreme's campaign slogan, "A vote for me is a vote truly wasted", reflects his satirical approach to politics. As the 2016 Democratic field remains wide open, the possibilities for Vermin Supreme's presidential aspirations seem limitless. This development is likely to bring joy to manufacturers of oral hygiene products, creators of zombie energy, and breeders of ponies.
