Sorry, but this whole college uprising is way too coordinated and the idea of personal space/safe space, college costs, and the like, are just political staging for the 2016 election similar to how OWS was for 2012. Its all backed by groups with connections to political players who need to energize this group as the candidate they will be stuck with is damaged and boring goods.
Figure the focus of one campaign will simply be "fixing" college, from how students are coddled to offering to pay for it all. Just watch.
- vlehto 11y agoI've got even more exiting theory for you. What if GOP and Democrats are ruling together? Let the people argue about guns, abortion, racism etc. Meanwhile Clinton-Bush coalition is agreeing on corporate welfare, monetary policy and military expeditions. If they ever get caught, it's just "working over the aisle". If that doesn't fly, just swap representatives. Add infinitum, because no third challenging party could ever appear in such seemingly polarized political environment.
- scarmig 11y agoThat's pretty conspiratorially-minded. Hillary Clinton's campaign, to the extent it has an opinion, would prefer these mini-conflagrations simply not happen during the election year. They do nothing except inflame the Republican base and alienate everyone except a small subset of student and Tumblr activists. Their very existence suggests that sooner or later she'll have to engage with the topic, which is a negative sum game for the Democratic candidate compared to yelling about how crazy the Republican candidates are.
