Decision 2020

EDITORIAL: It’s time to push election code reforms in 2021 for Illinois

Illinois is not foreign to ridiculous election laws. As a matter of fact, they have the second-worst and second-most restrictive ballot access laws in the nation, second to Tennessee. Allow me to elaborate. Illinois v. Tennessee regarding ballot access laws In a normal election year, Illinois and Tennessee would require third-party candidates to collect ridiculous amounts of petition signatures to make the general election ballot. In Illinois, there is a 1% requirement based on the overall vote from the largest statewide […]

MORRIS: Won’t lose any sleep voting for Libertarian Donald Rainwater in Indiana

I’m thinking of doing something different in the gubernatorial election. Some will say I would be wasting my vote. The same temptation teased me in the 2016 presidential election. Disgusted that our political process delivered the two worst candidates imaginable in Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, I flirted with the idea of going third party or simply staying home and not voting at all. In the end, I resisted the urge. Giving serious thought to voting for Rainwater It was […]

OP-ED: 21 ways why supporting the political establishment is WORSE than voting third-party

The vote-shaming engines have predictably kicked into high gear in America as the presidential election approaches, with shitlib pundits like Bill Maher doing their part to paint third-party voters as the most toxic people in the world. Which is of course ridiculous. I have no strong opinions about how Americans should vote in November, but it’s obvious that in terms of toxicity third-party voters are not on the list of people who are worthy of criticism. The dire situation humanity now finds […]

O’DELL: Don’t waste your vote on a Democrat or a Republican this November

Another election is quickly approaching us within the next 100 days. Once again, the Democrats and Republicans have presented their constituents with (arguably) the two most polarizing options possible. In 2020, that comes in the form of incumbent "Republican" Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden. Surely, it is going to be overwhelming for voters to watch candidates publish radio and television ad hominem attacks rather than debating relevant talking points. However, your voting options do not have limitations with these […]

EDITORIAL: Wake Forest online editorial sure sounds like it’s bashing third-party voters

An editorial published Thursday morning in Wake Forest University's Old Gold & Black newspaper 'Third party voting minimizes electoral impact' surely appears to be attacking voters of third-party candidates. Let's go through this editorial hit piece by Alexandra Karlinchak paragraph by paragraph, shall we? Trump and Biden are part of the problem, not the solution With only 54 days until the 2020 election, tensions around the country are running at an all-time high. There is a lot at stake for a […]

Bruges: Pickled in Gothic

With a smile, the friendly shopkeeper hands me a pharaoh's head and two hedgehogs. Happily sucking the liquor out of a hedgehog, I walk out of the small chocolate shop with a €3 assortment of Bruges' best pralines — chocolate treats with sweet fillings. Belgian chocolate is considered Europe's finest. And in Bruges, locals boast that their chocolate is the best in Belgium. I'm always tempted by the treats in display windows throughout town. Godiva's chocolate is thought to be […]

Nick Sandmann: GOP’s poster child for fake victimhood

A common complaint among Republicans is that their opponents are mainly in the business of manufacturing victims and turning those victims into Democratic voters. That complaint is true as far as it goes. Yes, Democratic politicians work overtime to get out the vote for their party by portraying society at large as having wronged members of particular racial, religious, ethnic, or gender/sexual groups, and by promising reforms that end the discrimination and compensate those discriminated against. But grievance-based politics is […]

KNAPP: America doesn’t have presidential debates, but it should

On August 6, the Commission on Presidential Debates denied US President Donald Trump’s request to increase the number of debates between himself and Democratic nominee Joe Biden from three to four. Trump’s case: The expansion of voting by mail means that many ballots will have been cast before the first scheduled fake debate on September 29. The CPD’s response: “[T]he debate schedule has been and will be highly publicized. Any voter who wishes to watch one or more debates before […]

STEVES: A look into the tastiest treats of Sicily

While food may be an art form in Italy, it's more like a religion in Sicily. Even if you know Italian food well, Sicilian cuisine will surprise you with its complexity — a legacy of successive waves of settlers and invaders who influenced the cuisine. The first time you find yourself choosing between fish couscous and spaghetti Bolognese on the same menu, you know you're at a crossroads of cultures. Thanks to centuries of North African and Middle Eastern influences, […]
