This is a couple of days late, but it is an interesting article.

A vote for Cuomo is a vote for his conservative economic program. If you’re a progressive, a Cuomo vote is a wasted vote. It gives away your power. Cuomo will take you for granted, because what are you going to do, vote for a Republican like Paladino?

No! You’re going to vote for Howie Hawkins and the Green Party. That vote will send a clear message to the people, the politicians, and the media of support for the Green New Deal: full employment, universal single-payer health care, fully funded public schools, tuition-free SUNY and CUNY, building a carbon-free clean energy system—all paid for by restoring progressive tax rates on Wall Street and the rich. A big Green vote will put Green policies on the public agenda. If we don’t vote for what we want, we will never get it.
