Oh look, it looks like the Stranger but its—fuck you right in your fucking fuck hole, David Toledo.
Oh look, at first glance it seems to be The Stranger, but actually it's—UGH, David Toledo, you win for biggest asshole of the primary.

The SECB is fucking done with David Toledo, a no-chance candidate running in North Seattle's city council District 5.

Toledo and his amateur animation skills were almost charming for a hot second. Then he came into our endorsement meeting and suggested we count the number of people of color on his Facebook friends list in order to prove—well, we don't even fucking know. That was weird and embarrassing for him, but now—in what appears to be an escalating effort to prove how unlikable he is—Toledo's campaign seems to be plastering our newspaper boxes with rip-offs of Stranger covers that he designed.

Toledo tells Stranger staffers that the postering is not his doing, but that of rogue campaign supporters. Since he makes his "art" publicly available on Facebook, Toledo told one member of the SECB, "There's not really a way to keep supporters from printing images that they enjoy. There is just no way to monitor who is printing and posting what."

So we're supposed to believe that someone is so thrilled about Toledo's non-candidacy that they've printed all these posters from his Facebook page at their own expense, gone out, found all but two of our boxes in North Seattle, and then used spray glue and wheat paste to stick those posters to our boxes in a way that takes forfuckingever to get off? And they're in no way connected to Toledo? Okay, dude.

There appears to be a rip-off of City Arts out there, too. And by the way, Toledo's posters violate public disclosure rules, the state Public Disclosure Commission tells us, by not including a "paid for by" disclaimer.

Toledo has asked supporters to get business owners' permission before putting up the posters, all the while still thanking them for "the love."

That's nice, but also, oh look, we do not give one single fuck, you unbearably unfunny Louis C.K. lookalike.

In the race for most insufferable candidate, Toledo has now surpassed both Nazi-saluting Alex Tsimerman and whiny techie Gus Hartmann. The primary election is next week. We can't wait to watch Toledo lose.
