Yes, but Jello Biafra wasn't always a Green Party Naderite. If I remember correctly, there was a time when he actually ran as a Republican for mayor of Orange County...

He was always an anarchist, and ran for mayor of San Francisco in 1979.

"Biafra runs for mayor of San Francisco. He finishes fourth out of ten candidates with 6,591 votes, 3 1/2% of the total; helping force a run-off. Mayor Dianne Feinstein's supporters are aghast."

Jello Biafra -

"My platform included banning cars from city limits, making police run for re-election in the neighborhoods they patrolled (practical idea if you ask me), and so on. Proposition 13, a tax initiative, had just passed and the city had laid off 7,000 city employees due to budget cuts. I proposed hiring them back as panhandlers on a 50% commission and sending them to rich neighborhoods and the entrances to private schools."
