Candidate on the far right.
Shamus Moynihan happened to drop by the Dedham Whole Foods this afternoon as independent Senate candidate Shiva Ayyadurai and some minions were outside trying to collect signatures.
People are running away from him like that street scene in Borat.

Does Shiva drink alcohol?

If so how much? Every high functioning alcoholic I've encountered is both brilliant in the bs and the biggest liar.
Or maybe Shiva just can't help being a fanatic for himself. He has a good example in D.C.
Can we not?

Since we're not talking about the Republican representative from Virginia's 5th district, let's assume he comes by his views without the help of alcohol, please.
Snarky...

...but at least he's not a member of the Choom Gang.

onto the ballot as an independent candidate for the senate. At the rate he was scaring off customers yesterday, he’ll struggle to have that number in time to see if his email invention suffers from the dreaded Y2038 bug.
He claims to be an anti-GMO activist

which is probably why he chose a Whole Foods, rather than say a Roche Bros., to do this.
I could maybe see the connection

if he were actually talking about his anti-GMO stance, rather than spewing word salad about Elizabeth Warren. But he opted to go the word salad route, mixed with a healthy dose of anti-Islam bigotry, so he can go fuck himself.
Also, I have a nascent theory I'm working on about the alt-right and their connection to the anti-GMO movement... the nazis who rallied on the Common last summer made a last-second pivot to some generic anti-GMO messaging, after it became obvious that they wouldn't be able to recreate what they did in Charlottesville. The InfoWars crowd has begun picking it up, in the same vein as the "fluoride in the drinking water is an insidious communist plot" wackos. Now this chucklehead is jumping on the bandwagon. GMO protest was once a leftist cause, but now I feel like it's on its own axis. Working theory: if you get rid of GMO-enhanced food, a billion people in the third world die of starvation. Those people are mostly brown, so it's your average alt-righter's wet dream.
Sounds reasonable

Sounds reasonable
You also have the fact that people who are anti-gmo are already susceptible to groupthink and aren't too concerned with facts, so if you can get them on board with one common cause, it's not hard to use that as an indoctrination springboard. like how hard righters have co-opted the pick up artist community, which on the surface has little in common with conservationism either.
