Ithacan Editorial

One thing I was able to actually accomplish recently was a short editorial for The Ithacan, for the issue right before Thanksgiving Break. It’s two weeks ago but might as well blog about it now. Better late than never.

Jonathan Anomaly’s recent commentary could have gone one step further. Not only do single votes not matter, but the elections themselves often result in little progress.

The belief that the latest midterm elections will result in significant change is rooted in hope, not in any sort of reality. Faces might change, policy might be re-examined in the short-term, but the fundamental structures still exist and will continue.
