I find this mildly amusing, and it seems like we could all use a bit of lighthearted news right now. In Austin, there are several candidates running against Steve Adler for Mayor. I voted for Laura Morrison because she opposes a proposed downtown stadium, but if I hadn't I probably would have voted for 100% serious candidate Alex Strenger.
He has a three point platform:
Build a dome around Austin to keep the Californians out and make Uber pay for it.
Take away guns from the Austin police and arm them (and teachers) with flamethrowers.
Legalize all drugs and tax crack at 10% and cocaine at 35% so that crackheads and the wealthy both pay their fair share.
I know he's a joke candidate, but I actually like the last proposal.
That's pretty great. I'm betting he'll get at least 2000 votes when this is all said and done.
