Green Party VP Candidate Ajamu Baraka

Green Party VP Candidate Ajamu Baraka
I don't know much about him, but some of the things he seems to have said really strikes me as... off.

I'm not sure he's such a good choice, and i really doubt that he'll bring much to the green party ticket.  Especially with his comments on Bernie Sanders.  If the Green Party wants to establish themselves as a serious party, I think Jill Stein has done a poor job of it with her choice in running mate.  I know that Bernie Sanders had an opportunity to be the Green Party Candidate--but he turned it down, not wanting to be responsible for Donald Trump winning the election.  I think the good news is that Sanders movement--unlike the Green Party--won't disappear for four years after this election, and I think he'll push some much needed changes.  Even if he's not running for President (and that, IMO, was what made him a good candidate in the first place)

You're missing the "l" at the end of that link, so it just gives you a 404 error.  Here...
