Before Feb. 27, SMC alumnus Tom Bibiyan, 34, was primarily known for his involvement in the Green Party. “I’m running for city council in the 26th district of Los Angeles,” Bibiyan said. “I will be on the ballot. This has kind of been a speed bump in all that.” The "speed bump" he referred to? Being stabbed by Klu Klux...

I was recently on a 14-hour Greyhound bus trip from the Southwest towards California sitting next to a Donald Trump supporter. The woman was in her late 50s and had been ditched in Texas by her trucker boyfriend. Every imaginable social ill had hit this woman: She was a disabled veteran who had endured the VA’s shoddy management, she’d been...

“It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” – Benito Mussolini (tweeted by Donald Trump at 3:31 a.m. on Feb. 28) When I turn on CNN now, I prepare myself to cringe. Since the summer of 2016, the media has been addicted to one word that permeates every program and fuels every...

Here at The Corsair, we’ve been hosting a series of back and forth debates on the current presidential candidates battling it out in this presidential primary season of 2016. We’ve been going through the list of the main contenders, and the time has come for the inevitable. It’s time to talk Trump. Donald J. Trump is generally hated on college...

Ted Cruz gets no slack. Our sports editor actually called him “evil.” His looks have been compared to the Zodiac Killer and Joseph McCarthy. The Onion called his face “f***ing infuriating.” From where I’m standing in the world, it seems impossible that he would have any supporters, much less 100,000. But it’s not like half of the country is just...

While Donald Trump is running away with the Republican Party nomination, Ted Cruz sits in the shadows— and rightfully so. The face of "repeal Obamacare" can't elude the fact that he's simply unlikeable. It's his elitist arrogance, his McCarthy-esque finger wagging and that his name isn't even Ted. Ted is typically short for Theodore. Mr. Cruz's real name is Rafael...

When most people hear the word “feminist," the first thing that comes to their mind is probably something like, "a bunch of man-haters screaming about women's issues." Either that or they just release a huge sigh at the sheer uttering of the word. However, the fact is that feminism is not about hating men, and it is not just focused...

Bernie Sanders is the presidential wet dream of every individual stuck in the quicksand of the 21st century's entitled, idealistic, entertainment-seeking mindset. There's a reason he has the youth vote. This audience is composed of individuals with skepticism that they’ll never end up as rich as their parents or the people they see on Instagram, who want some kind of...

Due to his status as a political underdog running against one of the most famous politicians in the country, it is almost impossible to debate Senator Bernie Sanders’ legitimacy as a presidential candidate without comparing him to Hillary Clinton. This is ultimately to Sanders’ disservice, because he is not just an exciting alternative to an obviously flawed candidate, he is...

The majority of Americans polled by Quinnipac don’t trust Hillary Clinton. It’s not complicated to understand why — it’s because she is not trustworthy. While it’s true that some of this is due to the constant flip-flopping on issues that our Corsair Opinion Editor has so diligently tried to defend, this isn’t the reason people don’t trust Clinton. Arguing on...
