22) What is the 1 thing you would like voters to know about you most?

1. I am running to better the stream
2. I will make a judicial branch
3. The toxicity and voting system
4. I would like to see their qualifications first

5. I support it, but no harassment or anything breaking TOS
6. Yes, they have had too many chances and continue to harass users
7. Yes, if they start too many wars or harassed too many people

8. Since I started it, I think it was just
9. I think that it is ok, if 7 congressmen vote aye on it
10. Yes, if they break the rules or abuse power

11. I will make sure that we can compromise on things, so the stream can flourish
12. I think that it works
13. Yes

14. Yes
15. Yes it should
16. There are plenty of signs, a new user support a certain party

17. I will try to change the voting system to make sure that everyone can rank their choices from best to worst, so that a user can vote for a minor candidate without worrying about what everyone else is going to vote for
18. Try to defuse the situation and distribute punishments as necessary
19. Yes, I have been active
20. I would be in way over my head, but I’d try to keep the site running smoothly
21. The best thing is the great election cycle and the

22. I am a libertarian and would like to change the stream, and help people have fun

If ya say so

1) Just for fun, but I hope to keep it fun and lower the temperature after the recent drama.
2) Honestly haven't thought about that much. I don't know for sure, but I'm open to suggestions.
3) I want to address the massive polarization on this stream, especially between people like Kamikaze who think this stream is full of Fascists, and those who believe the opposite. I think a little reason could calm them down, maybe along with a presidential announcement denouncing Fascism and white supremacy.
4) I will try to get diverse viewpoints in the congress, possibly appointing Kamikaze (IK that may turn people against me, but it doesn't appear that she actually blackmailed, since she didn't have demands. She was just revealing her hand, and screenshots of conversations on a public platform aren't really private information. I still think it was an a-hole move, but not blackmail) or Beez, if they will accept, as well as people I agree with. I haven't talked to anyone, but I will try to find people based on what I explained.
5) Very strong pro-speech
6) As far as I remember, they have broken Imgflip's TOS and been deleted. Correct me if I'm wrong. Therefore, alts by them would also be against the TOS and will be excluded from this stream.
7) If someone breaks imgflip TOS (this includes harassment or threats), they should be permanently banned. Other cases I am considering are if somebody uses alts to post more than they should be able to, or try to cheat an election with alts, then they should be banned for at least one more election cycle.
8) As I said on 4, I don't believe it was necessarily blackmail, but rather a jerky move. Therefore, she should not have been impeached.
9) I don't know if there are established rules for politicians in this stream, since there were a few months that I wasn't on here at all. If you know if there are or not, please let me know. If not, I would like to lay some out so that there are clear bounds for somebody to act, and they will get impeached if they break them.
10) If someone oversteps his authority as an elected official or break Imgflip's TOS while holding office, I will hold an impeachment trial.
11) I will have conversations with him/her over important topics, all publicly available. No private or secret conversations. I will try to work out compromises where we disagree.
12) I don't see how it should really be changed, but I am open to suggestions if anyone thinks they can improve it.

Out of space - will continue soon

wait Kamikaze is a woman?

No

Wait, i just realized you are running for prez. Nvm

Idk. I for some reason thought he/she was, but I can't think of why and definitely could be wrong

you'll never be a decent person.

at least I'm not a fascist nazi.

maybe you wouldn't think that if you tried it.

Well who is his big secret alt with proof

That’s what i wanna know.

I know I haven't finished this yet, and I might have to get on tomorrow and finish.. I've had a busy day

I don't really know, I'm pretty new to this stream, honestly. Uhm, I'm going to for one thing listen to my peoples, and see what they want, and try to make decisions based off of that.

1. I’m running to make the Presidents stream a better place for free speech but also a place for cracking down on harassment and abuse.
2. I will pass a law concerning free speech and making the policy clear on abuse, the alt-right, the left, and other political groups that tend to abuse or harass others.
3. I want to address the current situation on white nationalists and NEO-Nazis. But I also want to address the current toxicity in Imgflip, particularly the Presidents stream.
4. My top choices as of now are RichardChill, Wubbzymon, OlympianProduct, Envoy, and SurlyKong69.
5. My previous comments have already answered that.
6. As long as they’d post any harmful or abusive images or comments.
7. Yes, but only in the most extreme cases.
8. I think Kamikaze should’ve been impeached for his actions toward Envoy. He was an adult abusing a kid.
9. I think the minimum number for approval on impeachment should be lowered to 6/10
10. Only if it’s necessary.
11. I will cooperate with the president as best I can as to not fan the flames on any more conflicts.
12. I think it’s perfect just the way it is. We just need to work on how to reach congresspeople whenever there’s a vote on a law or impeachment.
13. I think we absolutely do!
14. I’ve heard rumors of alts being rampant in the stream, but i will have to do some more reasearch on the matter to come to a conclusion.
15. Yes, I think it should
16. You need loads of evidence to Ben 100% sure someone has an alt.
17. I think it should be done through StrawPoll.
18. This is the time when we most need to cooperate. Cooperating will get us out of the situation smoothly and quickly.
19. I will be very active.
20. I would definitely crack down on censorship, harassment, and toxicity.
21. The best thing is that it is very organized, after all, it is just a stream on the internet full of random people.
22. I will fight to the death to protect their right to express their voice and opinion.

25) What is the 1 thing you would like voters to know about you most?

Ngl, reading all of this is hurting my head

lol, answer what you can, it's not like it's required or anything. Just a good idea to at least give voters an idea of what you stand for

1. one of my main goals is to restore the fun-ness of this stream, it's gotten too serious. I plan to do this by setting a new standard for a president, as well as a choccy milk charity.
2. probably work with congress and OP to draft a proper constitution.
3. the small team of mods.
4. well sure.

5. anything that abides by the TOS should not be censored, now if there are NSFW things then mark it NSFW.
6. well, they already received a punishment (which is not being allowed to run this cycle) so no.
7. a major problem with banning is there is not yet a feature to do so, so it would be hard to enforce. sure we could disapprove images, but what, we have someone follow them around 24/7 deleting their comments?

8. im clearly biased, but I believe kamikaze blackmailed me.
9. it seems fine to me, although anything can be improved upon.
10. depends, we definitely need to really set concretely what is grounds for impeachment. but, impeachment is necessary in some cases.

11. well, like OP I believe it needs to be changed quite a lot. his parliament idea is pretty good, and we can maybe work with congress to decide what to do there.
12. it's very chaotic and doesn't do anything really.
13. I think we need some form of a congress, the president is really just a dictator without it.

14. not really, it's possible but there's no indisputable proof.
15. well, it depends if someone uses alts to vote them of course, but if they have an alt, say one is the main that posts normal memes, and another that posts political stuff, that shouldn't be a problem.
16. well, it's very hard to prove, so that might be hard to enforce if it is made illegal.

17. olympian product
18. firstly, they've been my VP before so I trust them, secondly there a global mod that could really help the stream. thirdly I really liked his ideas when he was running for head of congress.
19. *blank*

20. I stand firmly that ranked voting is a good idea, but a straw poll works fine for this.
21. as a centrist I believe I can work with anyone, so I will get the heart of it and negotiate with all sides.
22. yes, im very active on imgflip.
23. hmm, like the owner of imgflip? probably remove the limit to comment threads. annoying as HECK.
24. there is so much drama, and so much tearing each other down. but the stream managers do a good job, although they are not online all the time.

25. I might not have the most points or the most followers, but I will work harder than any candidate out there.

(1) To spread wackiness across this stream.
(2) Call New Zealand.
(3) Memer's rights, among other things.
(4) lmao no
(5) We will turn this wiki into literally 1984, so fr** sp**ch=🤮🤮🤮
(6) Yes.
(7) of course, all cringe bluepilled normies will be banned from this stream, only those who are based are going to be allowed in this stream if I become president.
(8) It was justifiable.
(9) Idk.
(10) Probably yes.
(11) I will propose to them my ideas.
(12) It's fine ig.
(13) Not really.
(14) Moonman a lot of times seems to be an alt of Whitenat, but I know that's not true because I know Moonman has been on Imgflip waaaaay longer than Whitenat.
(15) As long as it's not being used for bad purposes it's fine.
(16) If they act similar.
(16) I don't have one.
(18) Same as above
(19) Idk, someone who agrees with my views.
(20) I don't really care.
(21) LET IT GROW
(22) Yes.
(23) Turn it into a 1984-esque totalitarian regime.
(24) Idk.
(25) Idk.

(part 1)

1) at first it was to make sure whitenationalist doesn't win, but also to give all of the members of this stream a voice
2) prob work on adding rules so this stream doesn't get attacked by users like whitenat & moonman
3)whitenationalist, hate against minorities & the lgbtq+ community, and previous abuses of power
4) yes, since this stream now has serious problems

5) depends on your definition. Just because I'm against deleting anything critical of the stream doesn't mean Nazis should be able to post hate & bigotry.
6) absolutely.
7)only if they cheated in an election, broke the TOS, abused their power, or are just trolls spamming crap

8)I'm against it, it seemed like comments got taken out of context and opposing candidates used it as an opportunity to get a rival out of their way
9)It seems somewhat fair in general, but both political sides should have the same amount of power & voice so it's not always one side getting what they want
10) only if they do something worthy of impeachment

11) I will work with Congress to try to come up with a common ground
12) it's okay, but a bit uneven politically
13)yes

(part 2)

14) with Envoy, it seems a bit shady, but the real problem is imaginestudio. I've seen at least 3 accounts that are more than likely to be alts for his campaign
15) if you're using it to make it seem like more people support you, or to win debates/arguments, yes, if you just happen to have an alt in case your account gets deleted, no
16) I can be sure if their username is completely for support of a candidate, and doesn't have any other content. the usernames also give hints.

17) currently it is dr. Iceu
18) iceu is honest, reasonable, and after kamikaze's impeachment and del dropping out, I needed a user that's not afraid to speak their mind but also not too controversial (and one that is well known, but also well liked

20)I don't think it should be a strawpoll because cheating is far too easy, but just commenting on an image is too visible and could change users' choices. maybe a specific mod gets dmed users votes
21) I want to hear both sides, even if I agree with one more, first.
22) Yes, unless something is going on in my personal life that needs more attention. If that happens, I will let the other mods know.
23)If I had full control, I would try to add less politically biased community mods, try to cut down on underage users, and add more icons (mostly after 1mil+ points).
24) the best things about this stream are that it gets imgflip's community engaged, lets users get a say in some things, and is a break from boredom | the worst things about this stream are that many members don't see whitenat as a problem, a lot of candidates mudsling too much, and members abuse their power

25) I want voters to know that if I win, This stream will be in good hands, no matter what comes next.

Vote beez or I break your kneez

To reply to question 20
You can only vote once in strawpolls

you can use multiple devices

Oh yeah

"Jewish Problem"? Flagged. And to be reported to the sitewide mods.

If I can ask, what was that about?

Ask one of the global mods. A racist troll decided to vandalize this thread with hateful nonsense. Not worth dignifying with details.

Ok thank you.

Yeah I read some of the message..

Ok its just that Im jewish and I like to be aware when someone is outrightly racist against me.

Oh I didn’t know that...yeah he is very much outright against you.

Have you been able to find someone to tell you what it said?

No I didnt feel the need to since the mods took care of it hopefully.
but if he see's this, he should know that, well, im very jewish and very proud. so watch what you say around me...

Yeah, his account was nuked I believe.

Phew that was a lot

1.to stop the wars on Imgflip
2. Probably make a speech abt coming together for Imgflip (but idk yet)
3. I want to stop wars
4. Idk, it depends if y'all think I'm taking it seriously

5. We're free right? Others r still lock in their cages for not doing anything wrong, but I'll prove if their innocent or not.
6. Yes, but I'll conduct a peace treaty with them if they keep attacking us
7.Well if I can't find a way to stop them, yes, but I'll won't give up on them.

8. Didn't see Kamikaze's impeachment. Can u send me the link?
9. Need link to answer
10. Still need link

11. Well and fair.
12. If it's weak, make it strong if it's strong, try to make it stronger. (tBh, idk for now)
13. For the actual pres. of the u.s. has a Congress, so i don't see the point of why we don't need it (keep it to sum it up)

14. - 16. Even if someone is alting on here, I wouldn't know who. So u could say, there's any impostor among us. I can't be sure if someone is or isn't alting. (I can accused everyone of alting to not worried of this problem. Lol)

17.-19. I don't have 1. For some occasions I like to work alone as a lone wolf, but idk if anyone wants me. It's me against the world. I would like someone who helps support me, and don't give up on me. (I'll listen to any ideas she/he have)

20. We'll do the way u usually do it.
21.I'll stop it, make arrangements for the peace treaty that both sides r happy with. People ik some of y'all may disagree to my idea. The troubles for the outside war, but we're on Imgflip where we all love memes, isn't it something we should move on together as one. What I'm trying to say is that the history we have, the holocaust, the assassination, the murders. I'm just hiding my fears in a locked box, hidden and forgotten. Ik what goes around, comes around, but we're on Imgflip, fighting is just a dumb idea here, where the website was created for memes, not wars.
22. I'll try to be active a lot, I'll check in everyday making a meme saying, I'm online.
23. The pres. Cannot have to much power if they can't share it to others
24. I like the stream, but I'm not a big fan of the wars people start

25. I'm a tennis player for CHS (Calallen High School), so I may be inactive during the games or tourneys, but I'll check in at the end if the day.

this is it

so how did i do scar

if I don´t get voted for pres. can there be a journalist

1- I am running because I have nothing better to do and I want to try out being president
2- I want to announce my secret plan to help imgflip
3- drama and mod abuse
4- of course!
5- I'm all for free speech
6- I wasn't here when they were banned, but if they got banned, keep them out I guess
7- With my MEME system, if somebody breaks the rules 3 times, they are banned for 1 day
8- I wasn't there and do not care
9- I want to change it so there is a simple vote, not clogged up with representatives
10- The only reason I would impeach somebody is if they were constantly breaking the rules
11- With the MEME system, I don't kill congress, but I leave it dormant because there is no need for it
12- Its easy to get alts, bribes and corrupt politicians in there
13- NO
14- Not really, but there's always the possibility...
15- Only if they are illegally helping the party win
16- If the account behaves and has the same aesthetic as the other, its most likely an alt
17- I don't have one, VPs are allowed with the MEME system but it complicates
18- N/A
19- I'm looking for somebody who likes my government system, but also isn't afraid to speak up
20- Direct democracy style, simple and pure
21- I will handle it maturely, and have the people vote on the solution
22- of course I will, you cant run a government without knowing what's going on!
23- I would never want full control of imgflip, that's not how the MEME system works.
24- Best: The government aspect is cool. Worst: Many of the politicians are corrupt and stubborn.
25- I would like you all to know that even if I don't win, I still want to help Imgflip any way I can.
