Election Reflection: Harrison Brunelli C'17
(11/10/16 8:08am)
As I see so many of my friends declaring this election outcome a resounding victory for racism, sexism, homophobia etc., I hope instead that this election is a wakeup call that millions of Americans do not feel represented by the Washington establishment and feel they have no voice in the corridors of power. This establishment is deeply interconnected with the academic and corporate elites who largely exist in a bubble, which I've experienced firsthand at this university. As a policy wonk and neoliberal, I’m reckoning with this myself.
