“Plowy McPlowface” got pushed to second place. Sign of the times.
Send this to every Democratic party consultant who says Abolish ICE can’t win an election
Also, the full election results are pretty great (arc)
The six snowplow names that received the most votes include:
- Abolish ICE
- Stephen Coldbert
- Pope Frío XIV
- The Blizzard of Oz
- Svencoolie
- Caleb Chilliams
Apparently Stephen Colbert has a shot at the Presidency.
At some point I would like a president with experience being a competent statesman rather than a TV personality.
As much as I do like Stephen.
Yeah people bring this up with Jon Stewart a lot too, but we shouldn’t be trusting TV personalities. I know that elections have devolved into popularity contests so these guys have a huge head start, but it takes a very specific type of personality to get into showbiz stardom like that and I don’t see them turning around to be actual good statesmen. I know Zelenskyy gets a lot of props for being a comedian turned incredible wartime leader, but those are… extenuating circumstances. Would have been very interested to see what he would have done as a peacetime leader.
These are the people who should be our press secretaries
There’s also Al Franken, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sonny Bono, Jesse Ventura.
There have actually been a lot of entertainers who turned politician.
I’ll just skip right past that president from the 80s…
I theorize you can too theorize their political leanings from the diversity of their performances. Do they have a wide range of characters, where they can observe other people, take feedback, and present something that feels natural each time? I bet that diversity is rooted in a significant amount of empathy to understand other groups. Our do they play the same tough guy over and over, rigidly, as they project their ideal image? Probably gonna be someone that expects conformity and conservation of the status quo.
It’s obviously not a strict rule. De Niro, Eastwood, Pesci, and Wayne all played tough guys, but the second two only play tough guys.

It’s working well for Ukraine.
A better one than Harris, at any rate 🤷
And then the person roasting him at the correspondents dinner should be next.
Can you imagine. How pissed Trump would be. With Trump getting his show cancelled and that gives him the free time to take the presidency from him?
I would lol, for years
Personally I like Svencoolie. But then again Svengoolie is an older reference.
“Abolish ICE” made up about 70 percent of the entries in the contest among over 13,300 submissions, according to the outlet Block Club Chicago.
lol that’s fantastic
So are they going to call one Abolish ICE? Are they?
Also wtf Independent, that’s not “trolling Trump”.
Abolish ICE McAbolishICEface
