Green Party has a new Georgia branch; old memories of when the GP went downhill

The Unified Green Party of Georgia has been accepted by the Green Party US, per Independent Political Report, which has several links of note. They replace the Georgia Green Party, disaffiliated by the national party in 2021.

This wasn't the only reason the GP lost me; as I noted in March 2021, Howie Hawkins' 2020 campaign, especially his lies vs reality on how the Chinese were treating the Uyghurs, was a big factor.

Facebook censorship didn't help.

Finally, I got tired of the twosiderism, and yes, from both the GaGP, with much of its sex essentialism bad biology, and the Lavender Greens, with much of its bad psychology tribalism. That on that side includes Kool-Aid peddling, and slurs, outside the Lavenders by the likes of Fernando Mercado. But, that's matched, along with the Facebook censorship, by the former GaGP's list-serve ban. For the latter, as I told them repeatedly? I've read the likes of the Mayo Clinic for when puberty blockers are indicated AND contraindicated. They had/have not.
