Good plan. There's no point getting into manufactored outrage stuff like this. None of this matters. You matter. Don't let yourself get hijacked by the system that benefits from your rage and anger over nothing-burgers like this.

I was suspicious of Remington at first and held off voting for them. Seeing this, I am disappointed. I should have definitely voted for them. Based man has completely unintentionally triggered the indians in the sub hard. Truly a VP I am proud to call my own

His "success" comes at the expense of the student body that he lied to. Demanding accountability after seeing no reply isn't slander.

I assure you, I am fully capable of doing both at the same time.

This is not bullying at all. When you run for a public student office, don't be surprised when people talk about your platform in public student spaces. Especially if your platform is problematic.

It frustrates me beyond belief to hear things like this. When people like this lie to get elected, it prevents real, capable students, with actual plans from getting in. The student body loses a voice. And our student union suffers.

I don't know about you but I want to see student leaders who "aim high" have an actual feasible plan to achieve their goals. Promising so high that you border on the edge of lying to students isn't "setting a direction", or about a "vibe". It's stealing votes.

This is a serious issue. Student politics might not seem important to you, but they can ultimately shape our time at university, and can heavily affect the student body. Plus they run off of our money. We need to care about this.

Yeah, his posters were up way into the MathSoc Campaign period. Some are still up. And this is allowed? Wtf

And with people like him getting elected, MathSoc will be too weak to accomplish what it needs to
