In the same spirit, I am also running for President. So is my husband, our two cats, and our plants.

Some assorted comments:

The last thing this country needs is another moronic joke pop-culture novelty candidate. One is way too many. West needs to shut up and shove that MAGA hat up his pompous showboating ass. 

I thought that after Donald Trump, there’s no worse person to be a US president. But Kanye West made me doubt that. I mean, they’re the same and different in so many ways. I think one “good” thing about Donald Trump is that he is a coward, and Kanye West is anything but. So Kanye might be worse. But I’m not sure.

That too!!!

That might be true if he had pulled this in April, but in July? It’s too late. Running for president as an independent is a seriously difficult undertaking. That’s why so few do it. Each state has their own rules for how to/who can get on the ballot, and a lot of the filing deadlines have either passed or are coming…

is it ok if I just walk for president? My knees really hurt.

Ugh, can the rich people just like stop? Stop this shit? Can we put them all on an island together (we know they love exclusive islands so it shouldn’t even be hard) where they can circle jerk one another while we get on with our lives?  Please?  I just want to go a month without having to see something that Elon…

Man I wish I would have gotten some press with my write in to usurp the county commissioner that came up with the racist mask policy on the Oregon Coast. It's between her and this yuppie pud that makes shitty beer by the community college. 

I think he's bipolar and clearly in a manic phase. 

Running for president? I think it’s a step down once you’ve run (and won!) for Jesus.

You are exactly right. What worries me is that so did Trump.

Yeah, i am up here in Canada and I really don't get why you vote for your president separate from you political party. It isn't like they aren't already associated.

The electoral college wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on if so many people didn’t vote for Trump the first time around. Regardless, the electoral college needs to not exist too, it would be nice to have an actual democracy. 

I remember when Yeezus came out and Grantland did a thing where they reviewed each individual track on the album. Like, an actual review of each song on the album. I went to see him and concert that year, and still remember how much everyone in the audience was looking forward to his trademark rant, and then hanging…

Remember when Kanye was (overly IMO) celebrated as a hip hop producer and not as the sad go to example of what happens in a society that doesn’t properly fund mental health services?

Kanye is a troll. He wants to promote his upcoming album and doesn’t give a shit about anything else. He and the Kardashians looked at the world and thought this was a good time to gloat about being rich.

BURN IN HELL Kanye. You already have more than enough power/fame to satisfy your ridiculous narcissistic ego.

Yeah, if this is what we’ve come to in our politics, I’m backing you Harron. Just promise a complete Jezebel staffed cabinet.

This is exactly how Trump gets a second term. People who either think it is funny/ironic/”special” to vote for Kayne may as well be casting a vote for Trump. It’s how Trump won the first time around. It distracts from real votes for real candidates. If Kanye was really for America, or in any sense a smart man, he…
