Antivirus pioneer John McAfee to run for president

Antivirus pioneer John McAfee has filed paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission to officially run for president of the United States in 2016.
The paperwork was independently confirmed and later in the day McAfee created a new site dedicated to the run.

When asked, McAfee implied that his run would focus on strong encryption and a computer-literate administration.

McAfee also noted that he is "founding a new party yet to be announced."

Just watched his video.
I would vote for him just to see what kinda crazy shyte he would do. But I'm Canadian eh.
His video is waaaaaaay too long to keep the average american user's interest (by about 3 mins), and he kept his arms crossed the whole time - failing communication 101.
He should join DT as his VP.

Does it really matter who becomes the President of the USA? They can declare war on foreign countries at the behest of the corporates but can't do s**t for their own country men.

Yes, it matters. Apathy is, by its very nature, completely counterproductive.
