This is what the 2016 election has come to – that voters would either support “Kevin Kline’s character from the movie Dave" or "the ghost of Martin Luther King, Jr., assuming he only said the three quotes that white people like" than their party's candidate.

At least that's according to John Oliver, who blasted third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein on Sunday's Last Week Tonight.

He dug into each candidate's record, declaring Stein a conspiracy theory-loving politician without principles. As for Johnson, Oliver ruled that he's not the brightest figure in the presidential race.

“He has been polling around 6 percent nationally, which is pretty remarkable, given that his race has been largely notable for moments like not knowing what Aleppo is (and) not being able to name a world leader he admires," he said.

In short, Oliver is less than impressed with the figures American voters think are viable alternatives to Clinton and Trump.

“The more you look at Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, the more you realize the lack of coverage they complain about so much might have genuinely benefitted them,” Oliver warned. “Because their key proposals crumble under the slightest amount of scrutiny."
