It bothers me that a lot of people aren’t grasping the reality of Deez Nuts.
All giggles aside, this is showing what a joke our political system has become. A 15 year old can register as a presidential candidate. According to him, the paperwork didn’t even ask for an age. We need to set a higher bar for who we accept into the presidential race, a bar higher than Deez Nuts. So yes, Deez Nuts is a joke, he can’t really win for a myriad of reasons, but we as America should never forget Deez Nuts, to remind us of what a clusterfuck our political system can be.
“we as America should never forget Deez Nuts” You okay, USA??
HE DIDN’T REGISTER AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, IT WAS AN ONLINE POLL IN ONE STATE.
The fact that there are people on tumblr who legitimately believe that a 15 year old boy who calls himself “Deez Nutz” could register for legitimate presidential candidacy really makes me wonder if any of them paid any fucking attention in school.
“Anybody can fill out a Form 2,” says FEC Deputy Press Officer Christian Hilland. “We do vetting, but it’s more about did they fill out the information correctly?Did they review the fields? It doesn’t speak to the authenticity of the individual who filed the claim.”
“Nuts” did, in fact, fill out a Form 2—a statement of candidacy—on July 26. The form had no information other than the Wallingford address and his Independent party affiliation.
“We check for things like, ‘What election cycle are you running in?’ If one or more of those fields are missing, we have campaign finance analysts who review those reports,” says Hilland. “We send a letter to the listed address that asks for clarification or an amendment.”
Also, if he or she raises $5,000, whoever lives at 2248 450th Avenue is going to have to come up with a real name. Nuts will then have to file a Form 1, which requires a name, phone number and address that check out.
“i want to drive a car that doesn’t break down all the time”
“i want to one day consider buying a place instead of renting”
“i’d like to not be in so much debt”
we are the least entitled generation but we get the most shit
The truth in this tho
The other day, I started thinking about all the things I would do if I had a ton of money. They were almost all about paying off debt, buying a house, fixing my car, and getting more education for a better job. The most frivolous thing was getting a dog.
People say that we act entitled - apparently it’s entitled to want to live debt-free and feel financially secure.
It’s because we complain about legitimate problems but the last generation doesn’t want to acknowledge that they are the cause of said problems.

Because generally I’m responding to people who are jerks. Like my response to that anon who was complaining about popular artests getting paid for their work when the money they get goes towards living.
