Lessig subreddit removed downvoting. If they can't win on reddit of all loving places, how do they expect to win the 1% needed to get into a debate?

his funding hasn't budged much since his reddit ama and he has 8 days left to get 418 grand. i mean some silicon valley type will probably save him but it would be quite nice if he didnt even get his first million after mayone.us managed to get 12 mil (and waste it all)

He is less than 300k away just a day later. We can't be surprised when he gets it, but the 1% debate thing will kill him for sure (good)

So did we ever figure out if Lessig is actually mentally ill or just running a con? His messages are decently formatted and use complete sentences with lots of good buzzwords, but everything is... off. He'll act like he's answering a question, but respond with a complete non sequitur. He keeps huffily insisting that his "Referendum Presidency (tm)" means he doesn't have to deal with every other issue, but won't say who will be dealing with this stuff. A POTUS and CIC will have a thousand decisions to make before he's even sworn in. You can't just ignore cabinet appointments, diplomatic postings, military decision-making, and everything else just because they're not your preferred issue. Who is he trying it kid (besides clueless single-issue liberals)?

I also find it hilarious that he keeps getting annoyed with people for asking questions about his vague non-plan he already touched on them in his announcement.

No, its just that his ego is too massive to allow any kind of doubts to make him question his ridiculous plan. He is sort of like the left-wing Trump in that regard. If only there was a way to force Mexico to pay for getting Citizens United overturned.

Are you suggesting that he con'd himself before moving on to the rest of us?

If so, you really have to wonder who these people are who are saying, "That's right, Larry, you're brilliant! You've got it all figured out! Let's go raise millions of dollars!"

Is he working with Jack Abramoff again?

Hi friends, I just want to say that I've really been enjoying this Election Erection thread a lot. This thread in general and the post by Duckbag I quoted especially have made me feel inspired to use Microsoft Paint to create a picture collage featuring William Henry Harrison and Brian Boyko and the Lessig 2016 campaign logo. I've attached this picture collage to this post.

Enjoy, and many thanks to everyone who has posted in this thread!

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Lessig to the world: "Hey, I really only care about this one internal thing here, so if you could just not do anything lovely until I get that sorted out and get someone willing to deal with your stuff in office, I'd really appreciate it."

A winning platform!

I always was vaguely aware of Lessig as "that professor activist guy who had some ideas on how to fix the broken system that ultimately went nowhere. And Christopher Lloyd played him on The West Wing".

Only this thread made me aware of this Brian Boyko guy and the weird drama he stirred up. And how Lessig wasted a lot of money.

Rockin' politico.com, it's Lawrence Lessig, with the incredibly important message of..."I'm Trying to Run For President, But The Democrats Won't Let Me".

Wow, and what's this? It's the FOURTH most read story on politico.com? Sounds to me like someone's campaign is back in the race!

(Seriously? This is your idea of a gamechanger, Lessig? I get the idea — let me in the debates, I claim to have at least 1% of the vote and represent an important potential policy plank — but it just comes off whiny.)
