2020 Elections
Why Vote for Howie Hawkins
Letter to the editor by Darin Robbins. "The status quo is no longer
possible. We cannot have business as usual when the country appears
to be tearing apart. It is time for innovative ideas and policies that empower
everyone, not creeping fascism or compromise that perpetuate our problems.
Nothing that progressives want will ever happen in a Biden administration,
and nothing will change if progressives always automatically vote
Democrat.
In the name of getting rid of a Republican incumbent, progressives
are cajoled into compromising their vote and insuring that they will always
be disappointed.
Real progressive issues and structural change can only be guaranteed
with a political party independent of corporate money and the reproduction
of
the status quo. Howie Hawkins, the Green Party, and the Green New
Deal is what this nation needs right now. Howie Hawkins is a working class
candidate
with an encyclopedic knowledge of the issues. The Green Party takes
no corporate money and has always been consistent on issues of peace, ecology,
justice,
and democracy. The Green New Deal promotes an Economic Bill of Rights
and a Just Transition to a sustainable future. A vote for Howie is not only
for a new president, it is also a vote for the ballot status of the
Green
Party in New York to continue to be a real alternative for voters.
Now is the time to vote our hopes and not our fears, for nothing will change
if
we keep choosing the lesser evil."
