  1. The article said it was Brown University’s corporate board gets to vote. The tactic actually worked for all people involved so far. I don't know if a no vote will bring back protestors, that's a question that remains. But it was a peaceful solution that worked... for now. If/when they come back, you deal with that then. Since we're doing a lot of guessing and speculating, I'd speculate that Columbia wishes they woulda done what Brown did.
  2. What isn't speculative is there was no encampment problem at Brown and Brown owes the protestors nothing but a vote of No from the board of corporate governors on their divestiture proposal. Obviously a successful tactic in avoiding the protestor mess other schools experienced.
  3. Speculative.
  4. No giving in. They just vote no on the proposal. Not shocked you didn't read the article.
  5. It's just the classic move of promising a vote on something. No promise of a successful vote, just a vote. Happens in legislature all the time.
  6. Wouldn't they just vote no then, and move on?
  7. Idk why more schools didn't just do what Brown did, promise them a vote on Israel divestiture, if it passes cool, if it doesn't, cool. Worked swimmingly there.
  8. And before Iran directly attacked Israel, Israel hit Irans consulate. And before that... on and on....
  9. So now it's right wing agitators and you're still blaming people other than right wing agitators. Peculiar indeed.
  10. Also, pretty hilarious blaming college students for what the media decides to cover. Is it their fault you spammed the thread at a rate almost 2x any other poster in the thread with content about them as well? But not as hilarious as blaming shooting survivors for abortion bans.
  11. no worries I'll wait 30 mins for you to contradict yourself again
  12. I guess the theory was it would exploit the left leaning anti vaxers? Hell idk what they were thinking because antivax is basically a trumper thing so it seems epically dumb
  13. There was a lot of discussion about protestors in this very thread well before trumps trial started.

  15. nah he's just stealing someone else's schtick again
  16. "If a bunch of stuff that didn't happened happened by a bunch of people who didn't do the stuff that didn't happen, the people who didn't react to the stuff that never happened would OBVIOUSLY react in a totally different way according to my opinion which is also conveniently my argument"
  17. could be a legendary backfire. My understanding is Bannon was very influential in getting RFK to run and helping is camp pain get going.
  18. I wonder if MAGA is going to continue to use people's preferred pronouns oh, wait, I'm glad it's not my argument that these folks are MAGA.
  19. Your evidence that they're trumpers literally says "Used to support trump" that's a double wow
  20. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-news-04-30-2024-f5e14fd176d69f9c4e23b48f3ab5af6a Netanyahu vows to invade Rafah ‘with or without a deal’ as cease-fire talks with Hamas continue
  21. Where did Portlandia in Freeland get all of those Soros tents?
  22. Being against Joe Biden means you're MAGA now. Good stuff LOL!
  23. Counterpoint: they're not
  24. What will his personal integrity be leveraged to get between now and the election? Is it "in case of emergency" legislation only? I don't see much legislating happening between now and then. At least that's historically what happens in election years.
  25. I'm not a professional political strategist but seeing them have a huge family squabble that is a complete and utter total ****show seems like political gold to me I wouldn't feel as ok with letting them do it had they not already passed the aid bills.
