3 things I will comment on in this thread:
1) Sanders is not a socialist, you look very dumb when you say things like this. There are several countries that we consider our peers that have some form of the policies that Sanders is proposing. None of them are socialist. If you’re truly against socialism, I trust you will be ripping up your social security card, and denying any and all benefits there of. You also refuse to have medical insurance of any kind, or invest in a mutual fund or ETF, since they all rely on a pooling of resources to serve their primary functions. The belief that there are certain things in this world shouldn’t be run by for-profit institutions doesn’t mean you believe in pure unabashed socialism.
It almost makes me roll my eyes just as hard as when people claimed Obama was coming for their guns. I still think that Obama rolling up to people’s houses in the presidential limo to take their guns is the single greatest missed reality tv show opportunity ever however.
2) Most people can name the first three presidents. The point is, if you’re walking somewhere thinking about your TCOM test you have in 45 mins and suddenly somebody puts a mic in your face and asks you a random question with the camera rolling; the random ‘uhh’ you stammer out is what is going to be shown on the video to make you look dumb. Even if 99/100 people got it right, you’re going to see a bunch of blank expressions edited together so, in this case, a bunch of ‘conservative’ viewers can feel superior to the ‘liberal’ college students.
If you take the time to watch any of Katlin Bennett’s content, you’ll see that by and large she says inflammatory things to try and get a reaction. Even in the OU videos you can see her telling black students that she too is black because ‘if you can change your gender, you can change your race’.
3) The College Republicans have been and continue to be one of the largest student groups at OU. I seriously doubt any of them fear for their lives because they are on a ‘liberal’ campus. Sometimes people are protesting the person, and not necessarily their ideas.
