The notion that free speech is somehow okay, even if it compromises the safety of others, is a delusion. We pretend that violence must be physical. It doesn’t. Words and images are powerful and affect people's psyches — to deny that is ignorant.
For a large part of the student body, the AMS represents a slew of Facebook event notifications and little else — it can be hard to see the larger picture and even harder to imagine your place connecting with it.
Although there is a semblance of openness and inclusiveness on campus, that it doesn't extend to people on the right side of the political spectrum, socially or fiscally. Talks on campus deemed misogynistic [or] racist are quashed.

This election features two powerhouse women who have given an incredible amount to students on this campus already, and who are capable of giving even more as president. With either candidate, the AMS and the student body would be in good hands.
This is a question that had valid criticisms, which were addressed. That is why it is the only question on this ballot to have been unanimously approved and endorsed by the elected student representatives without a single abstention.
