It would be a little easier if you had “-D” following your name. Then the mainstream media would hide and/or ignore any problematic issues surrounding you.
The lesson is clear: DON’T get involved in politics, kids! DON’T try to change things for the better! There’s no hope! Also, laugh at our crazy frolicking.
Well, we have got some action going anyway. The right-wing crazies are always entertaining, and illuminating in how far they’ll go to justify the insanity.
So, I think this piece just stands on its own, no extra jokes needed: “In 2020, Libertarians are going in a very different direction, best evidenced by Bill Weld’s successor as the party’s veep nominee, Spike Cohen. Cohen, an online media entrepreneur, is best known as the designated running mate of political performance artist Vermin Supreme, the perennial candidate known for wearing a boot on his head and promising all voters free ponies. Supreme, who was a bizarre minor presence in the 2012 and 2016 Democratic presidential contests, took his act to the Libertarians this year, and though he finished third in last weekend’s online presidential vote, his sidekick Cohen won the separate vice-presidential balloting.” https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/05/libertarians-decide-to-become-a-joke-in-2020.html

Fact is, running is the easy part.
From what I can tell, the most difficult part is what to do after you win.

A Libertarian is just a far right corporatist Republican who wants to smoke dope and get laid.

This is what social media and the GOP have made our elections. It started with Newt declaring all opponents mortal enemies.

When the pit fills up with poop, you should probably go dig another one.

The running never stops.

Happy Honesty Day
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
