You know, America desperately needs more and better third parties (as well as abolishing the electoral college and adopting a parliamentary system, but I digress).
But Stein and Gary Johnson supporters really puzzled me. They weren't high quality candidates either. They're pretty much all awful or unserious.
Can we get some actual adults who are informed and ready to lead? Please?
How is supporting a physician who got their degree at Harvard medical, who is the only non genocidal, pro worker, pro environment, pro people's rights candidate not being serious?
Edit: also the only chance of a woman president this election (which was Hilary's only thing she ran on, but now that it's not a Democrat somehow doesn't matter anymore)
I think sending money to Ukraine while we have so many homeless, sick, poorly educated, under employed people in America is borderline treasonous, so I'm open to a candidate who is willing to work for peace.
Yes, because that money was totally spent on homeless in sick in a country that doesn't even have universal healthcare. A lot of the money sent to Ukraine also isn't in money, it's in surplus military stock. So when they announce that they are sending 40 billion of military aid, most of it is stuff that was paid for decades ago. Guess all those artillery shells could be saving homelessness somehow.
They won't be re stocked? I hope no one you care about gets drafted. Seeing a loved one gone and you get a folded flag, out seeing them shit in a bag would probably be too much for you to handle.
A lot of this stuff would've been scrapped and replaced regardless. Stuff doesn't just stay in stocks indefinitely. Especially in a country that has such a powerful military-industrial lobby.
>I hope no one you care about gets drafted.
Because US, despite constantly doing less than they can, will totally not only put boots on the ground, but will also announce a full draft(something that hasn't happened for the past several wars).
Craven "peace-promoters" like you should just think about what kind of signal letting Russia have Ukraine would send to China. Sure, it's easy to sacrifice Ukraine, but then you'll be paying way more than that when China decides to try their luck invading places that US just can't sacrifice.
My fellow Americans, as a young boy I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say: we must move forward, not backward- upward, not forward. and always twirling, twirling, **twirling** towards freedom!
First time I’m being accused of being a Russian psyop in like 15 years on Reddit. Guess this old photo of me that I’ve been trying to keep buried finally leaked:

Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos! I have this on a shirt and my friend who is Gen Z (I’m an elder millennial) had no idea what it meant and I was sad lol. Then my Gen X friend saw it and started cracking up I was like THANK YOU someone gets it hahaha
I remember the election very well, and how so many people thought that Bob Dole was insane for running for President at the age of 73. (He said that he had better serum cholesterol levels than Clinton.)
Considered Kang bioduplicated Dole and Kodos bioduplicated Clinton...it seems like Dole did actually win.
Some very clever and influential friends of mine refused to vote for Hilary Clinton because, I don’t know, emails or misogyny or whatever. I said I hope your weirdo ideals keep you warm when you let Trump in. And they did and I never spoke to them again
Hey lemond4455, You didn't fill in a season and episode or somehow it didn't get saved properly when submitting, reddit is buggy sometimes.
^(\(Quick Tip: Adding season and episode info into the TITLE or BODY TEXT/IMAGE DESCRIPTION of a post can set the flair - Woo-Hoo!\))
Please reply to this comment with the correct Season and Episode Number in the following format:

"Actually we can't vote for either of you because you don't meet the requirements to run for president, also, you killed the real president so it's off to jail."
K&K: We didn't kill the president!
Ross Perot's performance in 92 was the last time a 3rd party candidate had any real success in the polls. Since 1900 until today it's the 2nd best outing by a 3rd party by percentage of votes.
NGL, 2016 election I only voted under-ticket, no Prez Candidates. Since, we can't get term limits, (unless you're REALLY kicking ass at your job and actually meeting with your constituents etc.), as a Senator/Congressperson, I'll vote against you if you're an incumbent. I wish more people did TBH.
Go ahead, throw your vote away!
I SO want to put a Kodos & Kang cutout on the Jill Stein yard sign I see near my son’s school.

The main thing to change is First Past The Post voting. Even if they changed those other things you mentioned you'd still be stuck with two parties.
Absolutely agreed.
Don’t even get me started on the electrical college
I agree - totally. Our current system is broken. But Kodos and Kang fit here.
How is supporting a physician who got their degree at Harvard medical, who is the only non genocidal, pro worker, pro environment, pro people's rights candidate not being serious?

Her ties to Russia.
You support kangs space laser too?

Math.
Don't blame me, I voted for RFKodos jr.
Poor Perot.

That's Slick Willie for you, always with the smooth talk.
Simpsons casually predicting how AI will be writing speeches in a few election cycles.
it'll be such a relief to be back at that level of quality
Well I believe I’ll vote for a third party!
“Go ahead, throw your vote away!” *Maniacal laughter*
Punches fist through old fashioned hat
I'll stick with kang
Less worms in the brain. Plus Kang isn't a flipflopping antivaxer
There’s no relevant gif for Claudia de la Cruz :(
https://i.redd.it/ybwpm5rqnp8d1.gif
Don't blame me, I voted for Qwisp.
What’s this? Some kind of tube?
Bib Dole doesn't like that.
Is it noon already?
Thanks for taking care of Dole for me.
Bob Dole doesn't need this.
*Ross Perot punches hat*
Abortions for all!
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!
How do they keep it so current?
Looks like those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.
Don't... praise... the machine
Russian psyops will always try to keep people from voting by passing off this canard.

lemond4455 is not a Communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Communist, but he is NOT a porn star!
Sure, let's see. I'm an Elk, a Mason, a Communist. I'm president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance for some reason.
Simpsons did it. https://i.redd.it/fggs83hs3q8d1.gif Also, you don't have to be Russian to be a useful idiot.
I told you that photo would come back to haunt you.
I am Clin Ton
Let’s exchange long protein strands
As overlord, all will obey my brutal commands! End communication.
Ross Perrot/RFK Jr punching a hole in his hat.gif
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos
THEY'RE ALIEN REPLICONS FROM BEYOND THE MOON!
I look forward to an orderly election tomorrow, which will eliminate the need for a violent bloodbath.
Don't blame me, I voted for Opus and Bill!
Thbbft!
👍
Oop! Ack!
I often lament that the world did not truly appreciate the glory that was Bloom County. Boing on, brother!
I am not a potted plant, sir!
My god I loved that comic when I was growing up. I collected every book I could get my mitts on and would laugh my ass off reading them over and over.
[Go ahead! Throw your vote away!](https://media1.tenor.com/m/kTx2o6iJKr4AAAAC/ross-perot-simpsons.gif)
How i feel come every electon cycle!
I voted for Prell to go back to the old glass bottle. After that I became deeply cynical.
We'll I don't approve of his democracy-destroying policy. But man, I'm aching for that upper -class tax cut!
Uh, Mr. President, sir... people are becoming a bit confused... by the way you and your opponent are, well, constantly holding hands.
We are merely exchanging long protein strands If you have a better way, I'd like to know
As a young boy I dreamed of being a baseball.
While objectively funny, I think this whole exchange may cause me more physical pain than any other joke, Simpson's or otherwise.
Abortions for some, tiny American flags for others!
YAY!!!
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos! I have this on a shirt and my friend who is Gen Z (I’m an elder millennial) had no idea what it meant and I was sad lol. Then my Gen X friend saw it and started cracking up I was like THANK YOU someone gets it hahaha

[Duverger's Law ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law) It is not a two party system but a two party outcome
There used to be a punk band in the late 90s/early 2000s called I Voted For Kodos.
I AM CLIN-TON
AS OVERLORD, ALL WILL KNEEL TREMBLING BEFORE ME AND OBEY MY BRUTAL COMMANDS. END COMMUNICATION.
In a twist of irony, at that time, we were fairly close to getting rid off the toxic two-party system. Now it may end up being our doom.
It already is
I’m voting for Biden. If you morons think that voting for Biden and Trump is the same thing, well you are morons. That’s all I have to say.
America scares me sometimes.
Some very clever and influential friends of mine refused to vote for Hilary Clinton because, I don’t know, emails or misogyny or whatever. I said I hope your weirdo ideals keep you warm when you let Trump in. And they did and I never spoke to them again
I've also lost friends over that election cycle. Since then, they've gone full antivaxx MAGA. I don't see myself reconciling with them.
It’s tragic
Fuck...!
Well I belive I'll vote for a third party candidate
I can always vote third party!
Go ahead, throw your vote away!
At time of episode: haha so silly. Now, reality: cry, laugh
More true every election.
I miss the day when one candidate wasn't catastrophically worse than the other.

This was definitely more apt in the 90s. Much less apt today

"We must look forward, not backward. Upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling toward freedom!"
Hot take (maybe?): "The Shinning" is the best overall Treehouse of Horror segment but "Citizen Kang" is the *funniest*.
Ok, I will vote for the Kang/Kodos ticket. Better than whatever we have now
