Fake presidential candidates polling high in the US
 
Back in August in Texas for example, Harambe (everyone's dead favorite Gorilla) was tied with Jill Stein polling at 5%.

Isn't a bit concerning that THIS many people take our system for granted (5% of Texas's population is still roughly 1,348,000 people.) That's over a million people that have polled voting for a dead gorilla instead of an actual candidate.

They should really do their polling sober.

Considering that our to politicians in this election have made a mockery of the process, I think it's fair that the people do the same.

Sad thing is, I'm pretty sure it was.

Shouldn't that be more of a reason that people should actually vote for someone they give a **** about? Rather than just say "well, let's just take votes away from actual candidates because our main choices suck so hard"

*whoosh*

Anyway, people don't take the polls as seriously as they do elections. I bet not even 1% of those people are actually going to vote for Harambe.

Things go over my head constantly. I really do hope you're right though, with the mental state of the new generation of voters, I'm not really so sure though.

Is anything in this election process surprising anymore? Honestly, I'm just waiting for one of them to murder the other.

Why? Who would they vote for?
