I'd vote for him.

Oh ho ho, so Voldemort has decided to join American Politics.

So, here's what ya gotta do: Explain what issue the comic is addressing and discuss the artist's choice of Lord Voldemort as the candidate (eg: Does this signify that he or she is targeting a specific audience, etc).
Also keep in mind: How does this express the constituent's frustrations with their representatives in Washington?

No one make any comments about how he can't run because he's not a naturally born citizen or that he probably hasn't lived in the US for the required 14 years. As you can see, I have already done that for you.
(Besides, knowing ol' Voldy, he's probably bewitched everyone into thinking he's fulfilled the requirements.)

The chicken is basically saying overtly maniacal and genocidal politicians would be preferred over corrupt ones.

That is freaking hilarious.

Reminds me a bit of the Zombie!Reagan for president ONN video that we watched in class. This is also commenting on the deteriorating situation that republicans find themselves in. The democratic party has been on a fairly steady increase for a while now, (although popular discontent with Obama may be hurting this trend), and the GOP seems to be getting a little frantic.
