Wow the naive gullible student vote? Das has the support of the unions and the 18 year olds. Really scrapin’ Das. Good luck, the rest of us see right through you.

Has Das ever stated what he would support in tax cuts? 
Pension cuts?  Budget cuts?
I’d like to hear it!

In response to Kids for Kids

What a surprise! Students who are working multiple jobs to meet the rising costs of tuition after years of negligence by state offering the private sector tax breaks while education gets funds cut and who live pay check to the pay check supporting a candidate that has consistently cared about not just creating jobs, but maintaining the dignity of the workers who do them. You cannot be pro-union and pro-workers without being concerned with jobs. An investment in students is fiscally much more responsible than short sighted tax breaks which don’t lead to new innovation. I worked 3 jobs at once while in community college before transferring to UCSB and yet arrived to find my fees hiked, friends dropping out due to not being able to afford the cost and then was told to advocate for my right to an affordable education was a privileged perspective. Why am I not considered a hard working tax payer when my three jobs were all taxed? I didn’t follow my friends to vote for Das - I’m trying to bring my friends back to this school by making education accessible and that’s why I’m voting for Das.

Campus Democrats aren’t naive - if we were we never would have won chapter of the year, we wouldn’t have been the margin of victory in the last election, we wouldn’t be sending people to campaigns all over the country to help them work towards real change and we wouldn’t have been a part of the largest voter registration drive of any school in the nation.

Yes as I said - those who support Das are the ones on the receiving end. Gimme gimme gimme. Das’ function appears to be taking money from me to give to those who haven’t worked for my money. If you can’t afford UCSB does that mean you are entitled to go on someone else’s dime? I worked through UCSB and paid my own way. It took me 6 years, but I did not expect anyone else to help me out. I did not consider it a “right”, it was a privilege.

“my right to an affordable education was a privileged perspective.”

We are raising kids with an entitlement mentality. You don’t HAVE a RIGHT to an affordable education any more than you have a right to an affordable sandwich, kid. Wait until you are on the paying end and can’t get ahead after college because you are working too hard to pay for those “affordable educations” or “affordable houses” for others. You will wonder why you even went to college. Then you will be sorry you elected the likes of Das. You will appreciate those private sector tax breaks (as if there really were such a thing) when you get into the real world and start a business or work for someone who could afford to hire you because of them.

“consistently cared about not just creating jobs, but maintaining the dignity of the workers who do them. You cannot be pro-union and pro-workers without being concerned with jobs. “

Show me a job that Das has “created” and tell me what he has done to maintain the dignity of workers, other than talk. NOT ALL JOBS ARE UNION JOBS! YES YOU CAN be pro-worker and anti-job if you tax the worker and punish the businesses that employ them! Did Das actually say he was going to lower tuitions? How is he going to even do that?

“once they graduate they have to find a job, have no healthcare, and are thousands of dollars in debt.  If they believe that Das is the best candidate to support their interests, please respect that decision.”

Hey! I am trying to save them here, I am not ridiculing them! Das is NOT the best candidate to support their long term interests. Tax and spend self-serving career politicians like Das are the REASON they will graduate with debt and therefore be unable to buy healthcare! Don’t fall for it!

Das may or may not be the best to support their short term interest’s now, but just wait until they have to pay back the debt he has incurred giving away our money to any special interests or group that will elect him! HE IS LYING TO YOU AND USING YOU, STUDENTS! This is NOT in your best interest! By the way, college Democrats do not represent ALL students.
