I know politics can be a very contentious topic, so why don't we try and lighten the mood a bit?

What is your stance on legalizing dank memes?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I won't rest until recreational use of dank memes are legalized

This could be the opportunity that we need to put GIF with a hard G into legislation

So you're a multimillionaire? ^^

Hadn't thought about being a multimillionaire either but sounds fun maybe I'll do that too

I'm betting big that the voters will suffer a massive defeat

Remember the Rent is Too Damn High guy? I think this is his year.

[–] FlashMobOfOne 3 points 2 years ago

Would legit love seeing someone like that in the presidency. Someone who is 100% 'Fuck the corporations'.

Nah my bet is on Barry Bama who looks curiously like Obama but with a mustache and glasses on.

[–] Geek_King 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Hamburglar. I find his platform of a burger taxes to be pretty compelling. Also the fact he's honest about his intentions to steal burgers goes a long way in demonstrating he isn't like other politicians.

The American people.

[–] boilingpenguin 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The 2024 election is going to be a contentious one, and followed by people throughout the world. There's going to be lots of talk of serious candidates, joke candidates, and things like this question—thought experiments about completely outlandish outcomes for the 2024 election. And let's be honest, even though it's the 2024 election, the campaign has really been going on since at least 2021, and possibly even earlier but absolutely don't let it distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

It's finally time for Vermin Supreme to reign supreme. Ponies for everyone is what this nation needs.

[–] Action_Bastid 3 points 2 years ago

I was gonna say Vermin Supreme, but then you said wrong answers only, so now I'm stumped.

Chris Christie. Mike Pence will be a close second though.

[–] fubo 2 points 2 years ago

Bridgegate alone should disqualify Christie from ever holding office.
