They’re Probably Not Going to Win

Don’t get your hopes up. Stacy Abrams and Beto O’Rourke won’t be winning this midterm — Tonight is the eve of America’s midterms. You probably already know the political situation. Two years into the Biden Presidency, the Russia-Ukraine war has created historic levels of inflation, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, and America’s democratic foundations are in peril. Democrats are unlikely to win in…

Vibes First

Why Democrats Should Support John Fetterman — Donald Trump's election in 2016 was a monumental wake-up call for plenty of reasons. How could someone who mocked journalists, lied numerous times, and developed numerous policy ideas ultimately become President of the United State? The answer: he spoke to the voters of America. In a society where Americans were…

Of Course, There’s No Decorum

It doesn’t matter what decorum is, the overturning of Roe ends it all — Over the past few months, protestors have shown up at several conservative Supreme Court justices’ houses, including Amy Coney Barret, Brett Kavanaugh, and Samuel Alito, to protest their support for overturning Roe v Wade. The overturning of the Roe a few days ago has increased the level and severity of…

3 Things Corporations Can Actually Do to Support Pride

Screw social media. There are much better ways to support Pride — June is Pride Month. While it's a time for Queer people to celebrate their existence, Pride is also when corporations ‘celebrate’ Queer people. Corporate allyship comes in numerous forms, from rainbow logos to more embarrassing acts, such as the Target Pride Collection. No matter what corporations do to show pride…

Hidden Queerphobia

In even the most liberal towns, anti-LGBTQ sentiments are everpresent — The town where I live is known for being liberal. Our town hosts yearly pride parades. The school we go to has several queer teachers and a student body accepting of LGBTQ+ students (even the jocks). It's a point of pride for our school district that it's accepting of all…

Harvard Does Discriminate Against Asians

But it’s not Affirmative Action — Recently, the Supreme Court decided to take up two cases suing elite colleges challenging Affirmative Action’s legality. With a 6–3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, it would likely mean the end of Affirmative Action. While there have long been cases challenging Affirmative Action, these two cases, against Harvard and…

Why Do Republicans Call Democrats the “Woke Radical Left”

How Republicans use language to scare voters into voting for them — If you’ve ever watched Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, or any right-wing pundit, you’ll always hear them refer to Democrats using extremely charged language. They’ll always describe Democrats using words like “woke radical left” or the “radical leftists.” This isn’t a coincidence though. The Republican use of charged language is in…

To Win 2022, Democrats Need to Go More Left

Democrats need to adopt more progressive policies in order to win — Centrist Democrats and their supporters often defend their decisions to push for a lower price tag or vote against bills because they represent “swing states.” Their logic goes that these bills are simply too progressive or too radical for their districts. If representatives vote for these bills, they're going to…

John F. Kennedy Wasn’t That Great

Despite the stuff named after him, there is little remarkable about Kennedy — John F. Kennedy was supposed to embody what's good in America: courage, patriotism, and persistence. He was a Harvard graduate who pushed Americans to aspire to greatness, and he was ultimately tragically shot while riding a motorcade. His legacy lives on in the form of a school of government (Harvard…

Even for Democrats, Packing The Supreme Court is a Dumb Idea

Let’s break down why “pack the court” isn’t a great idea — The Supreme Court is currently not very liked across America. Its conservative supermajority allowed the Texas abortion bill, struck down COVID restrictions, and is poised to strike down Roe v Wade, causing its approval rating to hit an all-time low of 40%. Democrats are especially frustrated with the court. They’re…
