Brian Jones on: Cuomo, Education, Teachout and the Democratic Party.




Watch this guy for at least a few minutes. Ask yourself: why isn't he a Democrat?

NB: The Green Party has issues of its own and I am NOT recommending a vote for the Green Party.

But let's simply consider..... and deal with..... his analysis:

Including Teachout ( primary challenger to Cuomo), the DEM Party and Cuomo himself.

Essentially he says what you say.

When NYers who worry about public ed have to consider voting for *Cuomo*.... as this is the best the party is going to do for them.... Jones words are cause for serious reflection.

I reiterate: why are we being asked to vote for Cuomo-ism when core DEM principles are being championed by someone ELSE?


Not an ez choice for a lot people this year.
