    Lmao “Vermin Supreme” is a real person:

    Vermin Love Supreme (born 1960 or 1961) is an American performance artist and activist who has run as a candidate in various local, state, and national elections in the United States. He served as a member of the Libertarian Party's judicial committee. Supreme is known for wearing a boot as a hat and carrying a large toothbrush, and has said that if elected President of the United States, he will pass a law requiring people to brush their teeth. He has campaigned on a platform of zombie apocalypse awareness and time travel research, and promised a free pony for every American.

    Do people in New Hampshire get friends and coworkers together do write-in political fantasy football stuff?

    Like is "Richard Rist" an fictional in-joke or a in-joke real person who owns a pizzeria?

    Edit

    The answer is no fun at all. It's American civil religion. I should have known. Many of them (nearly all of them?) are actual candidates.

    What is the Lesser-Known Candidate Forum in New Hampshire : NPR

    MANCHESTER, N.H. — Richard Rist is a business owner from Maryland, frustrated with how divided the nation has become. His solution: run for president. Because... why not?

    On Thursday, Rist was part of what's called the Lesser-Known Candidate Forum, held by Saint Anselm College in Manchester every four years, a tradition that dates back to 1972 in the first-in-the-nation primary state.

    [...]

    Dressed conservatively in a navy sport coat and a floral tie, Rist made his way to the stage, where he found himself sandwiched between a man wearing a big black rubber boot on his head, and a candidate named Paperboy Love Prince whose outfit evoked a wish-granting genie.

    A 2004 article said he owned a "home-based gallery".

      That site is for Georgia.

      President R. Boddie, as Governor of Georgia...

      Is that the same President Boddie? If so - how many federal/local races is he running in?

      Read up on the Luciferian Agenda

      Okay.

      Isaiah 14;16 says the devil is a man. His name is Lucifer . He is not a spirit, he's not some figure on the hot sauce bottle, he's very real, and what he's trying to do right now is get this famine going, so that everybody can begin to depend on him and his globalist movement for food!

    Is Vermin Supreme just on all the tickets now? Personally not a fan of him politically speaking, as fun as his fashion is.

      Does he have real politics? I thought it was absurdist performance art.

            Yeah, this is from an interview with New Hampshire Magazine in 2018

            I am a social anarchist. I believe that “mutual aid” is the glue that holds society together. If we can provide for ourselves and each other, our need for government is diminished. Peter Kropotkin was a great anarchist thinker and writer. Read his book “Mutual Aid.”
