The Rent Is Too Damn High Party's Jimmy McMillan at the NY Governor Debate

I have no context for this, just came across the video, but I think this guy is on to something, heh

Can't watch the video but, half fire-n-brimstone, half insane?

I haven't read a thing, just watched this video. He could be sorta loopy but his mantra (The rent is too damn high) makes more sense than anything else I've heard this election cycle.

Roof over your head, food on your table, and money in your pocket. That seems to be his platform.

Oh, and he's a karate expert.

If you get a chance you should watch the video. I'd actually drag my ass to the polls if I could vote for him. Maybe I will go and write in his Rent Is Too Damn High party and vote a straight ticket. Heh.

And you should know me well enough to know "half insane" is a good thing :D

And, still registered here, mostly for the school budget votes; I gotta go with teamster Howie Hawkins who asks in this video "If the poor are getting so much money, how come they are still poor?"

Green party candidate, single payer advocate, socialist, tax the rich...not much more chance than Jimmy McMillan, but, eh, I'll feel good for two minutes (and will be checking to see if the optical scanner counted my vote).

I would rather vote for someone saying one simple thing that is undeniably true and beneficial for poor and working class folks than all of the slick, Democrat/Green, manicured, coiffed, whitened, yuppie, two-bit assholes they have running on platforms that are nothing put packs of lies.

The rent is too damn high! Damn straight it is!
