It would have been nice to have better production values, but I suspect neighboring Sacto's Greta Gerwig was too busy down in LaLaLand.

this thread shows once again that humor isn't universal, you can't make everyone laugh.

I loved it!  Especially the comment at the comment about Monsanto and Chevron.

I think this is a great use of humor and creativity to address corporate control of politicians.

Is this real or a hatchet job by Green opponents? If it is real, it is really poor judgement and is quite disturbing. I could not support a candidate taking this approach to fundraising. It’s just wrong. The fair thing would be for the candidate himself to explain whether this is real or why he took this extreme action.

Dear SGA delegates

I am very disturbed by the Green Party Sex Tape video (https://youtu.be/dxhUS-QQPbg) created and posted by Gubernatorial candidate Josh Jones. I find the video offensive and an example of extremely poor judgment by someone seeking to represent our party as a candidate for our state’s highest office.

I was first introduced face to face with the Green Party at the August 2016 Green Party national convention in Houston, which I attended as an interested observer, after being turned off by the Democratic Party (as a Berniecrat delegate at the Democratic National Convention a week earlier.)

At the GPUS convention, I met David Cobb, Laura Wells, Mike Feinstein, Jill Stein, Ajamu Baraka, Cornel West (when things looked like he might Go Green) and Luis Rodriguez (the GPCA's 2014 Gubernatorial candidate). Based upon those interactions, I was impressed by the Green Party, effectively going Green the following month. Since then, I have learned a lot about the Green Party and its inner workings. I love how there is a high value on internal democracy. And I love the GPCA and GPUS platforms – solid.

But I have to say that if I would have come across this Josh Jones Sex Tape video in 2016 prior to attending the Green Party convention, I would have not given the Green Party a chance at all. The concept and content is immature and damaging to our party.  A more thoughtful treatment could have been a great PSA moment.  Instead it is an embarrassment, plain and simple.

Given this, for anyone seeking our party’s endorsement, I think the video should be deleted from YouTube. But at a minimum, if this embarrassment is to remain on-line, the use of the words “Green Party” should be removed from the video's title. No one in our party has the right to post something like that, misrepresenting our party’s name in that manner.


Disappointed in Los Angeles,
Angelica Dueñas
