Why Deez Nuts Is Actually Critically Important For The Future Of The Country
Submitted by Jake Anderson via TheAntiMedia.org,
Last week, the nation shared a moment of levity when North Carolina officials reported that Deez Nuts, the satirical electoral creation of a 15-year-old teen from Iowa, received 9% of the vote in a new poll. The number placed him in third place behind Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and ahead of GOP candidates Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker. Earlier polls had shown Deez Nuts garnering 8% in Minnesota and 7% in Iowa.
Most Americans embraced the news as little more than a tongue-in-cheek verification of our collective malaise with the political establishment, an indictment of our deep unease and dissatisfaction with the frontrunners in the 2016 presidential election. Even when The Guardian declared that Deez Nuts was officially “the most successful independent candidate for president in two decades,” few deigned to describe it as anything approximating the start of a populist revolution.
Still, one might argue that the success of 15-year-old Brady Olsen — aka Deez Nuts — from Wallingford, Iowa, embodies more than simply a successful lampooning of the American political system. There are legitimate reasons to view this development as the opening salvo in an upheaval of the way Americans elect presidents. Does this sound hyperbolic? Let me take it a step further: Deez Nuts is actually critically important for the future of the country... and here’s why:
1. Politicians may be forced to acknowledge the failed system…and apologize
The fanfare behind Deez Nuts will cause politicians to take a second look at their own campaigns. Why? First, they will be forced to answer questions about Deez Nuts. At first, they will shrug and laugh these questions off. However, it’s important to note that Deez Nuts polled at 9% with virtually no media coverage. Imagine what will happen when these numbers grow — and there’s every reason to believe they will. Faith in government and the two-party system is at an all time low. There is widespread distrust in government agencies, institutions, and politicians’ ability or willingness to represent the people.
Most importantly, on Friday, Public Policy Polling announced it will soon begin to include Deez Nuts in national polls. If his numbers stay steady at a national level, there’s good reason to believe candidates could be asked about him during the debates, especially if Jon Stewart moderates one. This will bring to the surface a readily acknowledged truth: the system has failed and it must be reformed. Such a widespread concession forces a reformist policy angle on every single candidate who wants to have a chance in the general election.
2. He provides an outlet for disenfranchised non-voters to make a real statement
American business magnate Russell Simmons recently endorsed Deez Nuts for President, tweeting out, “Ask not what deez nuts [sic] can do for you, instead ask yourself what you can do for deez nuts [sic].”
Similarly, the Rent is Too Damn High Guy, Jimmy McMillan, has come out in support. McMillan explained his position:
“Deez Nuts would be great because the children need to get involved. They need to tell these other candidates, these old men who are taking the country down the hell hole, that something needs to change. The youths are hurting — they can’t get jobs, they can’t buy a home — and these old people are doing nothing for them.”
We may have never seen such popular excitement over a “sham candidate” before. The reason is because Deez Nuts is not a sham candidate. Brady Olsen has an actual agenda that he wants to push, which is primarily targeted at exposing the real sham: the two-party system in American politics. And Olsen has been strategic about his approach. When asked by Rolling Stone about Public Policy Polling’s use of his names in the polls, Olsen said he specifically wanted his name pitted “against low-pollers, like [Deez Nuts] vs Lindsey Graham vs Lincoln Chafee, to see how desperate voters would be in that situation.”
Olsen is just as thoughtful when it comes to political calculations. While the teenager identifies as a libertarian, he admits his ideology falls somewhere between democratic socialist Bernie Sanders and Gary Johnson. This shows that Deez Nuts understands his position as an independent candidate with populist power, a reformist with the heart of a revolutionary.
Disenfranchised voters are nothing new in 2015, but this time around there is a social media-emboldened central rallying cry that seems to be discernible and digestible across a wide platform of demographics and ideologies. The strength of the humor in his satirical foundation also helps to buoy Deez Nuts. Thanks to the Internet, particularly social media, the disillusioned snark of the masses has been catalyzed and, if properly organized and leveraged, could wield unprecedented power on mainstream politics and the heretofore unquestioned media narrative, which more and more people are realizing is crafted in collusion with the corporate-owned political establishment.
3. Deez Nuts is a grass roots populist movement against the two-party system
For most of his political career, Bernie Sanders registered as an Independent. In his run for president, he has capitulated to being a Democrat. Despite his revolutionary rhetoric, Sanders still plans to work within the two-party system. While it is telling that Bernie Sanders wasn’t even listed on the North Carolina poll where Deez Nuts received 9%, his success as a galvanizing populist isn’t entirely relevant anyway and certainly does not put him at odds with Deez Nuts. In other words, while it’s important that Sanders continues to rally voters, it is equally important that those same voters understand the importance of Deez Nuts and why Sanders is so restricted in the first place. It’s because, for all intents and purposes, Sanders is still considered a third party candidate, which is exactly the reason why the Deez Nuts is vital. Tellingly, Nuts has inspired a recent wave of similar joke presidential candidates, highlighting just how pervasive disillusionment with the electoral and political system has become.
The Deez Nuts movement is a platform by which a wide variety of both voters and non-voters can critique the system in a way that is not only measurable, but deeply disruptive. However, it’s not particularly time-sensitive — it could continue on for years, even decades, and will only grow with organization and sophistication. Eventually, a voter base that is simultaneously decentralized yet targeted toward one specific issue could present a major challenge to the two-party system, forcing networks to not only regularly allow third parties into all presidential debates, but to give them equal time and fair treatment. Whether Brady Olsen emerges to be a successful spokesman for this movement or not doesn’t even matter at this point. The power of Deez Nuts resides in it being a leaderless movement with one specific purpose: breaking the two-party system.
4. Deez Nuts could force major mainstream concessions, such as an overturning of Citizens United
With widespread popular support comes power. There is a very real sense in which a high-polling Nuts will translate into actionable reform to the system. For example, the jestful heart and soul of the movement itself is that the two-party system is broken, primarily because corporate money and crony capitalism have rendered representative democracy dysfunctional. One of the most cloying wrenches clogging our political system right now is the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, by which Super Pacs and corporations have flooded elections with unprecedented amounts of campaign funds.
Could the Deez Nuts candidacy force the establishment to readjust in order to avoid an outright collapse of the political system? If this were the case, the establishment might push a sacrificial concession out to the hungry masses in order to placate their anger. With the proper organization and coaching, Deez Nuts might be able to call for the head of Citizens United, which, incidentally, Bernie Sanders plans to decapitate if elected.
5. Deconstruct scripted policy positions as anemic and not representing the people
Perhaps the biggest cause behind the unlikely success of Deez Nuts is how transparent the failings of representative democracy have become in recent decades. Indeed, people are so desperate for honesty from a presidential candidate that herds of misguided voters are willing to tolerate the racist, sexist rants of sociopathic plutocrat Donald Trump — just for a whiff of unscripted candor.
In the current online viral landscape, in which Deez Nuts is in more demand on Google than Hillary Clinton, a 15-year-old teenage boy has tapped into the zeitgeist and now sits poised at the breaking point of an electorate so sick of anemic policy positions over substantive real talk, they would rather vote for a vulgar, nihilistic moniker than a career politician.
Who knows? If the popularity grows to a certain point, perhaps it’s conceivable someone will organize a citizens’ debate at which Deez Nut could actually participate. While a 15-year-old is not going to be elected president any time soon, it’s not too difficult to imagine a push to see an informed, eloquent representative of youth — the future of the country — square off with the very oligarchical despots angling to rob him of his future through climate change inaction, economic collapse, and federally organized student loan theft.
6. Even if you don’t vote, you can use Deez Nuts to grease the wheels of a symbolic movement
There is an increasingly large contingent of intelligent American citizens who are philosophically opposed to voting, believing that it lends support to a irredeemably corrupt system that enables perpetual war, taxpayer funding of the military industrial complex, corporatocracy, destructive trade agreements like the TPP, and the racist Drug War that feeds the prison system.
It’s hard to argue that non-voters are wrong in their vitriol against casting a ballot, though this author still retains belabored, agonized faith in an American revolution that will be aided by ushering malleable candidates into compromised positions of power.
That is possibly the greatest asset of Deez Nuts: the character can be leveraged by both voters and non-voters towards the same purpose: exposing the ineptitude of the system and using a cultural meme to create a groundswell of public support against the two-party system, which is sometimes called a polyarchy, or “inverted totalitarianism.”
In other words, even if you don’t vote, support the Deez Nuts campaign. Taken further, is a vote for Deez Nuts really even a vote? There’s an argument to be made that voting for Deez Nuts is actually a vote for non-voting, as the person is trying to elect a straw candidate that can’t possibly hold office and is in fact a satire of the voting system itself.
Am I using doublespeak? Let me rephrase the position: non-voters should champion the cause of Deez Nuts as an open mockery of the very system in which they refuse to vote. It is, in some respects, a vote for anarchy, for non-hierarchal symbols of subversion to authority. Vote or don’t vote, but Deez Nuts is the variable for which many agorists, anarchists, and socialists alike have been waiting: a tool of subversive satire that shows how late capitalist representative democracy does not work when the representatives are bought and sold by corporate auctioneers.
7. It is culture jamming at the highest level
A reappropriated billboard that reveals a truth about a corporation, a viral meme that takes a politician’s words and overlays them with a graphic to suggest the real meaning hidden underneath — “culture jamming” is a verdant form of subversive activism.
Rarely has there been an opportunity to culture jam at this level. Sure, you can protest and interrupt a speech, you can make a mashup video of the corporate-funded candidates eating their words, but not in recent history has there been a chance to culture jam an actual election by clogging its polls with an artificial candidate whose mere existence and name lampoons the entire system. Use this opportunity — wisely.
And Deez Nuts, if you find yourself a bit confused or looking for direction, feel free to reach out: we’re good listeners.

I hope he sacks the lot of them.
Do you think his hair is curly?
If he wants the ladies' vote he better wear it high and tight.

For me it's Rand Paul in the primaries. And if he isn't the nominee then it's Deez Nuts in the general. I'll write in if I have to.
Yeah Deez Nuts and Donald Trump are polling well. Makes sense. God Bless America
All of teh banker wars, 9-11, WMD, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sandy Hoax, Elliot Rodgers, etc, etc, etc... And the ZH crew still believes in their bullshit media! You are "nutz"!
If people would actually vote for the candidate they want and believe in, there could be a quiet revolution very quickly. But the political culture in the US has brilliantly created a deep-seated fear in the minds of most, so they refuse to actually vote for who they want. Instead, they vote for the "lesser of two evils". It is accepted doctrine that it is more important to "stop the other guy from getting in" (=dogs sleeping with cats, the moon turning blood red, the sun going supernova, etc) than it is to support someone you honestly believe in. Of course, the corrolary to that is that they assure you if you actually vote your conscience and your interests - and not their acceptable alternative to the end of life on Earth - you are ensuring that "the bad guy" gets in.
It's a very twisted system, but it is very effective at maintaining the status quo, which is the true goal behind all this. I don't see it changing any time soon.
Bingo.
If all those who hoped Ron Paul could win would have voted for him, he would have won in a landslide.
I think it may be worse than that, SofaPapa.
People don't think. They wait to see what's popular and they jump on that bandwagon just so they can 'fit in'.
Of course, the popular consensus is mostly formed by MSM (mainstream media, for the newbies).
For most, it's much more important (and easier) to be on the winning team (to fit in) than it is to actually develop their own moral compass and therefore; to act upon it.
I could go on, but that's $.02 worth... I think.
I had a feeling this author was pushing some kind of lefty agenda and I was right. Spare me the global warming bullshit already. Nothing but a plan to make us all love much lower standards of living. But, best of luck to you kid.aybe showing more people what a sham this entire process is will actually wake some more people up. I can credit Ron Paul's 2008 run, maybe some others will look back and credit you for their awakening, as absurd as that may seem for a guy named deez nuts.
Carl, I promise I didn't junk you- honest.
If someone is 95% to your liking, you're gonna shitcan 'em for the 5% you disagree with?
Never been married, eh?
Nuts stands head and shoulders above "I'd sell out my own father for a seat at the big table" Paul.
Hope he has a cousin in Canada... they are in the middle of an election, and would be a refreshing change there too
Deez Nuts says:
"Independent presidential candidate Deez Nuts announced he is supporting Sanders’s bid for the Democratic nomination." "He added in another post moments later that he endorses Ohio Gov. John Kasich for the Republican nomination." http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/dem-primaries/251729-deez-nuts-endor... Just another useful idiot.Equal time. At least he hasn't endorsed Chump.
Uniting the left and the right, Deez Nuts.
Unite? Castrate.
Yes, this is just a hit piece. It becomes apparent at "climate change inaction"
A symballs of righteous American protest.
Skate, help me out here. Is symballs an actual word?
Bah, verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.
Thanks, translated from engrish it makes a lot more sense (not). Bah!, indeed.
Deez Trump or Donald Nutz?
Let's be honest. Nuts will be the VP, so the signs on everybody's lawns will read:
TRUMP
NUTZ
They're both Nutsies, although in different ways.
By the way, are there any Ashkenutsy candidates?
Nothing will change in the US of A until the people realize that they are not subject to their servants.
To be honest, I never heard of Deez Nuts until ZH started putting up articles.
And, by the way, none of that shit in the article is going to happen.
When he comes in 3rd or beats a major head to head it will be pretty awesome though.
While the teenager identifies as a libertarian, he admits his ideology falls somewhere between democratic socialist Bernie Sanders and Gary Johnson.
Deez Nutz just described my political leanings. I've never felt closer to a candidate than how close I feel to Dezz Nutz. Its' as if Dezz Nutz is underneath me, all day, fighting for the sweet sticky American Dream we've been denied. Deez Nutz truly is fighting hard for my juicy, dripping, piece of the American Pie. I have a feeling Deez Nutz campaign is about to explode!
I didn't even read it.
Like trying to find meaning in a monkey poop drawing.
That might not be too far off either.
pods
Deez Nuts is just the latest steam valve meant to relieve pent-up pressure against the system, like Trump is doing, without actually resulting in real change. And, it takes our eyes off of the financial rape occurring behind our backs.
Our eyes were never on the financial rape in the first place. That level of conscious consensus has not existed for a long time. Of course, it all comes back to publik skool and perceptions management and an obfuscation in the thoughts of money and liberty.
It makes sense that whether out of intentions of comedy or of disgust at the current situation, anyone who votes for Deez Nuts is doing so out of protest. Imagine Deez Nuts winning the popular vote country-wide lol.
That actually raises a point: many say that taking part in the voting system in any way, shape, or form is validating the system - so the best thing to do to really protest is to not vote at all. But then there is another side which says that in order to be heard at all, you need to use the current system to make your point, and voting for imaginary characters makes a bigger statement about the idiocy of the whole process.
I'm still not sure what side is right, as I see valid points to both.
Then cast a vote of a fundamentally different kind. Like endorsing a currency alternative to the state currency. It's at the same time voting, making a statement, seeking coalescence around a common thing, a material action, a bet and a rejection of the other system.
Then you should not feel a need to cast the other, much inferior kind of vote.
If you don't vote somebody will still be elected and take power over you. If you do vote for a third party your opinion is registered. If enough of you vote third party, say 15% you can be sure one of the main parties will adopt some of the third party's issues.
If you don't vote you are nobody, Mr/ms blank. You just don't count or matter to the powerful. You castrated yourself. You helped them take power.
Well, it would be a darn sight better than any of Doze Nutz winning! :>D
"1. Politicians may be forced to acknowledge the failed system…and apologize"
Ok, now that I have conquered my hysterical laughter, I must point out apologies are normally given by someone repentant. This is not a failed system as viewed by politicians but is working as intended.
We are long past apologies. The time now is for revolution and flushing the obscene filth is the only course. Anything else is perpetuating the status quo.
Miffed
As if we would ever gert an apology in the first place!!
You are right and Deez Nuts have nothing to be repentent and apologetic about.
Nuts never broke the system, it flushed down the toilet all by itself.
Deez Nuts may be the start to a social revolution to bring back one of the aspects about America the founding fathers alluded to but is rarely mentioned, the pursuit of happiness.
Nuts are always interested in the pursuit of happiness,
but usually in cooperation with their prick neighbour
I have a nutty prick neighbor who thinks I'm an asshole.
Should I be worried?
Depends. Some of them like assholes.
I'm not so sure about Deez Nuts. I want to know why he supports a dick?
I guess Ayn Rand should have written "Who is Deez Nutz"?".
The American populice were his testees for this spectacular prank...
Hooray, we’re saved!! And not a shot fired. Booya!
When will the kids get angry and start protesting "The college I went to stole my home" ?
When I start seeing that at 5% I might have some hope it will get fixed.
I MOST SINCERELY hope that if America is subject to the two party catastrophe of Bush vs Clinton - the write-ins for Bernie Sanders, Deez Nuts, and Donald Trump will overwhelm the votes for the traditional two party system. That should be tantamount to declaring our political system to be broken. If such a result/message is PROPERLY digested, contemplated, and presented to the population for consideration - THAT is the start of something. The problem would be overcoming the bought and paid for, manipulated mainstream media coverage that would be instructed to minimize it or deflect attention to other shit like the Kardashians or cute cat YouTube videos.
Fifteen years old.
Thank God for the kids.
There may be hope yet.
He couldn't do worse than the current criminal moron.
The political system has been outwardly broken for at least the last twenty years (some people say more than that).
And they think that a little humor will bring about change, don't think so.
Pitch forks and torches.
Did you ever see a hangman tie a hangknot?
I've seen it many a time and he winds, he winds,

While "Deez-Nuts is humorous, if mocking tyranny worked to reduce or eliminate tyranny, there would be little tyranny in the world. Unfortunately tyranny is founded upon psychopathy, not empathy--Tyranny's criminals are incapable of guilt or shame. Mocking, at its best, can only cause tyranny's psychopaths to fear the uncovering of their lies, and so they just "Room 101s" the mockers.
Tyranny can only be disassembled; The destruction of tyranny's systems, morale, and personnel.
Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity..
Tyranny's Paradox is that tyranny depends upon the production of their victims to sustain themselves.
Tyranny Cycle: Information and plunder flow up, power and control flow down.
Tyranny Disassembly: Hinder and/or break Tyranny's Cycle up and/or down flow to reduce the ability for tyranny to sustain themselves.
How about the Vctims Paradox? "Who can I call? What can I do? -
There will always be a big momma or daddy for those who want one. Lacking one, needfull victims seek and find the psycopaths they crave. A bi directional relationship that is part of human nature (for the most part) granting some exceptions.

The only candidate we'd support. The rest of them are all with the opposition.
In the past, "None of the Above" was never allowed as an option on the ballot, probably out of fear that it would outscore the candidates.
Deez Nuts is the work-around so that voters can express their non-support for the whole corrupt farce of "participatory democracy" in the USSA.
I doubt that's what that 15 yr old had in mind.
"Deez Nuts is the work-around"
Deez Nuts is the reach-around

Compelling story, but I'm still voting for Pedro.
Won't be long until everyone says it is pointless to speak of him because he in not elidgeable to run. But don't worry, the Repubicicans and DemoNazzis are taking control of the process. "You WILL only vote for the choices WE give you!" and that's that.

Right, a natural-born citizen.
citizens united didn't have anything to do with super pacs - other cases did.
citizens united said the government can't fine or jail people for making a political documentary because they set up a legal entity to make the political documentary.
Had that case... you fucking idiot left wing moreons - gone the other way - the 1st amendmnet would not mean what it says, and corporations like this website and the new york times could be banned from "electioneering" by an eeeevil PResident Trump before an election...
Why?
Because the law said corporations and unions, regardless fo size cant spend money 30 days before an election. Most things talking politics are organized as corps.
why not 90 days?
why not a year?
Why not jail only left wingers?
if raising money to make a movie is banned and you cant make the movie, your speech is abridged.
Reason.com gets the libertarian and constitutional law right over and over - ZH keeps letting myopic fuckwits who dont see the danger of ignoring the plain language of the 1st amendment.
You want to control money - make it reasonable - put a 5 mill cap on or something
otherwise, there's no end to it, and billionaiores are free to do what no one else can.

"Citizens United" is like Roe v. Wade. Everybody has an opinion about it but virtually no one has read the damn thing to have even a scintilla of knowledge of what they're talking about.

Lindsay Graham, Jeb, and John McCain need to choke down a big gulp size of Deez Nuts. Lindsay would probably look forward to it though.

Deez Nuts or not Deez Nuts? what a loaded question.
A more seminal moment in politics there has never been.
I still can't get over "Deez Nuts, uniting the right and the left"
So, Deez is a centrist.
i wonder what his position is on bike seats
Not yet. You have to wait for Deez Nuts to meet Bush.
To be fair, the left and the right just ain't equal. With Deez Nuts the left is mostly a lower element - it's a scientific fact!
I hope it's not a split position - it doesn't go well with the male electorate.
Speaking of the electorate, Deez Nuts should know that election reform is a sensitive subject with Japanese voters (he must never mention downscaling elections).
I recently listened to the Tom Woods debate about whether Rand was the best "choice" for Libertarians, despite his desire to continue the Warfare State and his kneeling down to AIPAC. Link here:
http://tomwoods.com/podcast/ep-468-rand-paul-yes-or-no-walter-block-and-...
The author of this piece is obviously a supporter of Sanders. I would actually argue that Sanders would be the best choice of the Libertarian. Although we would disagree with much of what the "socialist" stands for, including continuation and expansion of the Welfare State, I believe he is the only Peace Candidate out there. He would *theoretically* put an end to our military adventurism abroad and our Bill of Rights destroying War on Drugs here at home.
As the lesser of all the evils, as an avowed anarcho-capitalist, I still must say, he may be the one. Thoughts?
"I would actually argue that Sanders would be the best choice of the Libertarian."
Actually, Sanders being a dual citizen (Israel) should never be considered as a candidate in the USA.
Dual-citizenships should never be allowed in any position of political or bureaucratic power over an electorate. It is akin to treason, especially in the US.
Won't you ever learn?

Deez Nuts: a Turn-and -cough test for American politics
Hey, if being a natural born citizen doesn't matter anymore, then neither should being at least 35 years old. Deez Nuts for President!
that herds of misguided voters are willing to tolerate the racist, sexist rants of sociopathic plutocrat Donald Trump — just for a whiff of unscripted candor.
Evidently Jake Anderson won't be voting for Trump. But he supports Deez Nuts? Getting pretty amazing here folks.
running mate required for deez nuts? deez nuts/underwood or deez nuts/onya chin. best zh comments needed.
"Global warming inaction" and Trump bashing author has a hidden agenda. But I do like what deeze nuts stands for at least...
"Deez Nuts" will reach efficacy when Americans at large lose everything "meaning the only things that have value in their lives" which is a bank, 401K or Stawk statement every month that tells them how much they are worth gets reset to "0"
Then "Deez Nuts" gonna get fuckin "shelled!!!
And every single God Damn politician running for high office is well aware of that fact... So they have only two option(s) left: 1) Keep the illusion going for however long they can keep the plates in the air... And 2) When they know they can't keep the plates in the air anymore they will opt for the next excuse to take the Country to war which will be alot like the one coming up on it's 14 Anniversary only much worse!
If I had to place a bet on what will happen out of those two inevitable outcomes I'd say Doze Nuts are either going to be missing or swinging from the end of a rope when 1) or 2) or both happens!!!
In politics as in marriage, I count about six stages: love, hope, resignation, frustration, anger, then finally divorce.
I know; I've been through both of them. The writer, Jake Anderson, is probably young.
"His platform included unconventional points such as forcing businessmen to wear clown suits within city limits, erecting statues of Dan White (who assassinated Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk in 1978) all over town and allowing the parks department to sell eggs and tomatoes with which people could pelt them, hiring out of job workers, due to a tax initiative, to become pan handlers in wealthy neighborhoods (one being where Dianne Feinstein lives), and a citywide ban on cars."
