Vermin Supreme is running on a platform of a government crackdown on gingivitis and a pony for everyone in America. He would provide everyone in America with government issued toothpaste that is an "addictive yet harmless substance." He says he is a friendly fascist and we should let him run our lives because knows what's best for us.
