WTF is this part supposed to mean?
Are they calling Dean Phillip a vermin supreme or did someone named Vermin Supreme actually get on the ballot?
Vermin Supreme is a real person.
You're one of today's lucky 10,000!
For those that don't get the reference:

I’m so excited that you get to learn about vermin supreme
Vermin Supreme have been in quite a few elections
There's a comma.
Dean Phillips could be the apositive to Vermin Supreme, or both Vermin Supreme and Dean Phillips could be separate items in the list.
Vermin Supreme is a person who literally wears a boot on his head and is in politics. I don't know what his platform his, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to vote for him.
Free ponies for every American. I'm not kidding, that's his platform. He won me over.
He also has a strong stance on oral hygiene.
You should watch the video where he throws glitter on one of the other candidates and yells that they're "turning gay". https://youtu.be/O5nj_aex3QA?feature=shared (then you'll want to vote for him)
Is it really fair to say he is “in politics” though? Seems more like he just runs in elections.
He’s the only person I actually want to vote for.
There's a guy who calls himself Vermin Supreme. He wears a boot on his head and iirc claims to be a libertarian. He runs for president every year and never comes even close to winning anywhere.
Edit: meant to say he runs for president every election. He obviously couldn't run every year.
