Students consider meteor for president
“ Giant meteor/* said student Mason Craft with a straight face. This was his
response to our poll question, “ Who will you vote for in this year's presidential
election?”
In fact, there's a Twitter campaign for “ Giant Meteor 2016,” with a tagline
that reads: “ Giant flaming meteor, extinction level event, 2016 presidential
candidate, probably your best option.” At least one Clackamas student agrees,
and many more are searching for options.
We polled more than 130 students on campus and on Twitter, and found that
43 percent of students were either undecided, decidedly not voting or willing
to cast their vote for outlandish options like the Flying Spaghetti Monster,
William Shatner or Vermin Supreme, instead of voting for one of the four
remaining presidential candidates.
The results are eye opening, and the data doesn't lie. Clackamas students
aren't satisfied with this year’ s nominees. Talk is fine for now, but it's just
noise until you speak up on the ballot in this year’s election. Make sure you’re
registered by Oct. 18, and weigh in on Nov. 8. Your vote counts.
