Pick the candidate that is openly talking about protecting women’s rights, or pick the guy who thinks immigrants are eating pets and that each state, no matter how backwards, can decide on what rights you have to your body, which is always causing tragedies.
Man, what a hard choice. /s
Teba Latef, an 18-year-old Pittsburgh freshman studying neuroscience, said she’s undecided and feels like Trump and Harris don’t speak with nuance about important issues.
“They take advantage of different kinds of people,” she said, “Trump takes advantage of men who feel like they’re being left behind and Harris is manipulating women who are concerned about their reproductive rights, knowing that realistically bringing the nationwide right to abortion back is nearly impossible.”
Holy false equivalence, Batman. I dare say I don’t think that’s the caliber of incisive intellect that neuroscience demands.
What it sounds like is an 18 year old who doesn’t yet understand how the world works and how voting will work. You will never get a candidate (especially for president) who 100% matches what you believe. You got to pick the best realistic choice and try to get the best you can. Realistically a president has a limit to power and can’t get everything but if you care abortion rights Kamala is who you pick. And getting a nationwide right to abortion back isn’t nearly impossible. Its hard but not impossible
The sooner kids realize that the real world is disappointing the better. They’ll set more realistic expectations.
Spent your whole life as a kid talking about how the old people are outta touch. Now your the middle aged guy and think you shit gold. Classic, happens every generation.
I don’t shit gold, which is just another example of how life is disappointing.
I wouldn’t go that far but for presidential politics yes. Local you can dream big
Maybe if you lived in a town of six or seven people. Any time you have more than that things get disappointing quickly.
As someone in a STEM career, we do a massive disservice to STEM majors by making their studies so goddamned silo’d.
I spent a couple of years undeclared before locking into STEM, and because of that I was able to enjoy a much more robust education, and I have to say that the difference is massive. And it really shows in the professional world.
So many otherwise (clearly, very) intelligent people who seem to lack basic understanding of political theory, history, economics, philosophy, etc. My field is lousy with them. They may be an expert in the technical field of xyz, but try carrying on a conversation about politics with them (and proceed to die inside).
The most useful and important things that I learned in college, by far, were: the ability to think critically, and recognize and identify fallacious reasoning; how to do proper research on a topic; and, the importance of being constantly aware of one’s own biases as much as possible.
All things that I never would have learned had I not spent ~2 years without a major (I’d also have much less student loan debt, but that’s a different discussion).
Wdym. She sounds to have her head on pretty straight. These two parties are both terrible and very similar. We have better options.
Thats concerning.
Life leans left.
“Reality has a Liberal bias.”

“Lean” is a terrifying word. Shouldn’t they be pushing against it?
