"Paperboy Prince" is the alias of local man Mike Donga who beat Paperboy on the atari with a high score.

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.

Vermin Supreme is a US election staple, he's been doing this for like 25 years now.

It’s a shame Sleve Mcdichael retired from politics, he’d have had a shot.

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".

Just want to point out that 1 in 6 votes for Biden went unprocessed

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

It's good enough for government work, jack.

Ok who is this dean phillips guy

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

From wikipedia:

In January 2024, Phillips floated the idea of putting billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Ackman in cabinet positions during his presidency.

Lmao

Young Sheldon would be in the Phillips administration. Normal Sheldon doesn't make the cut

He's not the guy with the shoe on his head. He's... I dunno.

I seriously don't know a thing about him.

[-] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

if I vote for president body will they hold it against me

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

Almost 17% write-ins is pretty wild. I wonder how in line that is with past primaries, because it seems high.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

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

[-] 0x0520@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

He's a mutual aid Kropotkin type.

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

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.”
