ASUW has currently desolved into a thoroughly ridiculous bunch of name-callers. I am embarassed to be associated with all of the people who are freaking the fuck out over two calls of confidence that never should have been made. I really don't mind the drama that much, or at least I didn't at first, but I am oh so disappointed to see people who I usually consider my friends, both on "the Chair's side" and "Vice-chair's side", allow themselves to throw around petty blame-casting statements about everyone fuck else just because 2 people got called out publicly.
Seriously guys, its not about racism, sexism, radical liberalism, conservativism or anything else that ends in i-s-m. If people could get over themselves for a minute maybe they would realize that there are legit criticims that could be leveled at the leadership of both of them. No vote of confidence should be on the table at this point, for sure, but there was a smidgen of justification for the tension that personal political play has now blown out of proportion.
And yes, I can see why a lot of people are upset and defensive...but for God's sake, DO NOT start blaming people like the ASUW President or other people within ASUW for doing something that either of them is now supposedly taking the blame for. Bullshit. You are raving.
And this, children, is why you should never get involved with student government. That, and, Gary Cooper will probably tell lies about you and make you cry.
