The 2024 elections were, without question, a catastrophe for the Democratic Party. Between Vice President Harris losing convincingly and losing control of the Senate – which includes Dave McCormick’s upset win over Incumbent Senator Bob Casey – there were effectively no bright spots for Democrats. As I mentioned in my previous article, for the Democratic […]
In case anyone hadn’t noticed, a rather important election was held just two days ago in the United States, with that being the 2024 presidential election. This is not to say the other races were unimportant, but the focal point was certainly lasered onto the race between Vice President Harris and President Trump (now President-elect […]
To resign is to take responsibility for one’s actions. Ever since SHUT IT DOWN took power in CSG in April 2024, its leadership has mixed incompetency with actual malice toward the U-M community. It’s time that the President and Vice President of the Central Student Government take responsibility for their misdeeds and depart their offices […]
Remember Joe Biden? I vaguely remember him, besides his argument with former President Trump about golf (Trump would win, by the way). If you compared Kamala after September’s debate to Biden’s “debate,” it’s night and day. Trump and Vance are both underwater in their favorability. This sounds like a solid victory incoming, seeing the way […]
The U.S. presidential debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump was certainly highly anticipated. Following the poor debate performance of President Biden at the June 27th debate and his subsequent decision to drop out three weeks later, Vice President Harris became the presumptive, and eventual nominee for the Democratic Party. President Trump, who […]
March 18th, 1959. Arguably one of the most consequential pieces of legislation slid across Dwight D. Eisenhower’s desk; the President greeted the press with a large smile as he stamped the Hawaii Admission Act. Even despite the dark history and acquisition of the formerly independent country, the Act received 93% approval by voters on the […]
Most political enthusiasts across the United States were rather intrigued to observe and analyze the first presidential debate of the 2024 U.S. election cycle. This enthusiasm was not necessarily because they expected an intellectually heavy, fierce, and energetic discussion. More likely, the excitement was related to the prospect of a rematch between current President Joe […]
Political trends and voting patterns are well-known for their volatility over time. West Virginia, a presently firmly conservative state, was once known for being a relatively blue state. In the 1996 presidential election, Bill Clinton won West Virginia by nearly 15 points. In 2008, current U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat, won the gubernatorial election […]
There is no question that Ann Arbor is a generally thriving city with countless positive attributes – a thriving social scene, gorgeous parks and landscaping, and a strong economy anchored by one of the most prestigious public universities in the United States. Unfortunately, like all cities, Ann Arbor also has several significant flaws behind its […]
In Ann Arbor, it can be all too easy to forget the wider state and region we inhabit as students at the University of Michigan. It is affluent, educated, and diverse — at least ethnically, racially, and sexually. If it were not for the typically midwestern weather, you could be forgiven for mistaking Ann Arbor, […]
