Dario Hunter AND other assclowns as GP prez candidates

Per updates to my own "Dario went there" post, here's Brandy Baker, looking at the big picture of what all is wrong with the Green Party circa 2020. This is an issue that she and Mark Lause were talking about in 2016, in pieces from North Star approvingly quoted here.

What is in italics, but not inset, is from a comment of hers at the GP Facebook group.

The whole thing, or a serious chunk of it, deserves printing. She, like me, is some sort of leftist who also, I think, has little regard for the GP as "diddler's cult," per a common lament about Ten Key Values author Mark Satin. Here's Baker:

Marginal people, clowns, assclowns, buffoons, and people who would not be tolerated in any other organization on the face of the planet earth were allowed to run roughshod over this process, troll, whine, interrupt, and behave in an undemocratic fashion. Sedinam Curry overrode the democratically-elected leadership of the California GP and got herself and other weirdos parked on the California ballot. That is what is anti-democratic. Curry threw tantrums at state party gatherings accusing them of "racism" when it is her own failings as a candidate and her own failings to gather any real or serious base of support despite running many times in the 21st Century.

This kid Chad who did not even understand the fucking process of nominationg a GP candidate or even how the GP runs trolling on here day in and day out waging crazy accusations that made no sense whatsoever. Why on earth was he ever considered for participation in anything other than deletion from this FB page? The assclown Ian Schlackman and his nonsense, do you know that Ian worked with a Democrat against a fellow Green who was running for City Council in 2016? Do you know that he was given the nod for Gov after this? Reap/sew.

When Hunter first came onto the scene, I took a look, but before long realized that there is not much there. A lot of grandstanding and peacocking.

If Hunter cared about building a national GP, he would support the winner, you know, someone who would have been well within his rights to fold up his arms and to say the hell with this, this Party is a mess. I am not saying that Hawkins is perfect or that his people are, but this went down so fucking fair and square despite embarrassing and undemocratic people who had no money and no base of support embarrassing the GP and undoing the hard work of serious people.

The process needs to be tightened up. I do not know what my future politically is, but I can say that I am introducing a resolution to my state party, and hopefully, it will go before the GNC. I will send it to other states as well.

If the GP does NOT tighten up the nomination process and stop allowing unserious fringe people to dominate the process, interrupt with tantrums, and attempt to hijack conventions and state nominating processes (ALL of this UNDEMOCRATIC), the no one should support the GP no matter who the nominee is.

Get serious or get out and allow a serious third party to form.

Couldn't have said it better myself. We need to tighten further to to to cut out perennial candidates, whackadoodle candidates like conspiracy theorists, and ineligible candidates like Elijah Manley.

That's not all, but it's a starting point.

Update, July 25: Another assclown has bailed. Curry is running as Mark Charles' Veep.
