If politics were more like Pokemon
What if politics were more like Pokemon? Well, one of the political parties would be guided by Meowth and Mew would be the equivalent of a Mount Rushmore type president, right? Well, something like that anyway.
In the meantime while you ponder over such lofty ideas, consider this short animation. The source of it is unknown, so if someone knows please post and this will be edited to assign credit. If you’re looking for more video game political fun, check out this and this. Enjoy.
Edit: Added YouTube video version.

That’s right, you read it here first. The next President of the United States will be a monkey, octopus or hippo. If you’re still reading hoping to have which one revealed, it’s probably a sign of your general distaste in the actual candidates. Regardless, Hail to the Chimp will let you take those animals and

The player of this battle is obviously a noob. If they werent, they would know that Ron Paul is the strongest pokemon alive. 1Hit KO because his attack is so high. But his “Mainstream media coverage” stat is 0, and his opponents is full.
