@Anonymous you guys aren’t getting it. The OP is saying that they essentially framed the DemocraSEAS kids by putting up the DemocraSEAS posters in restricted areas and then reporting those posters for breaking the rules, thereby making DemocraSEAS look bad. Just wanted to clarify.
@Anonymous Even if this happened (which I doubt), it really doesn’t make a difference. Posters have pretty much no influence on election results…it’s all about who you know. Clearly the people in FU had a better networking campaign/are more involved in campus and know more people. That’s really all there is to it–all elections are popularity contests.
@Anonymous It does because a percentage of their votes got taken away.
@Anonymous I heard it was something like 25% of the votes or something.
@Anonymous SERIOUSLY. THEY WERE NOT FRAMED.
they had a flyer that said “where you want your council to go” – pointing to the up elevator button. And “where no one wants to go” pointing the the down elevator button on the ground floor of John Jay. That sign was DESIGNED FOR THE ELEVATOR. NO ONE MOVED IT.
they cheated themselves. they weren’t framed. get over it.
@Anonymous Knowing absolutely nothing about the situation besides this comment thread, the fact that the poster was designed for the elevator is a total non sequitur. Doesn’t mean DemocraSEAS designed it. Doesn’t mean their opponents did either.
Hell, if anything it’d hypothetically make a good frame, since it clearly demonstrates intent to flier in a no-flier area, which a generic flyer wouldn’t necessarily communicate.
Anyway, I guess my point is Lisa Mack rocks. This conclusion is also a non sequitur, albeit one undeniably supported by all observable evidence.
@Anonymous Linda Sun is the sunshine of my life ^_^
@Linda :)))) thanks for brightening my day. I showed my dad this article and in response to this comment, he said “I agree with the thumbs down, because you are probably only 80% percent or less sunshining.”

@Anonymous Need help deciding. Harmony or Schapiro. Rising Junior.
@Anonymous Shapiro. All the way. No questions.
Do you really want to walk all the way from Harmony?
@yaaaa shu and mary!!!
@Anonymous I LIKE WAFFLEZ
@Anonymous I LOVE LISA MACK!
(hi lisa)
@Lisa Hi anonymous! I love you, too. (Well I can’t actually guarantee that, but the chances that I do are pretty good.)
and hi Nate! Woooooo! to you, too!
@Nate Levick Woo!! Looks like there was some legit voter turnout and some exciting contests!
I’m excited for next year, looks like it’s gonna be a great group. Congrats to all winners and cheers to everyone who ran. And voted!
@Lisa Oh Nate. Look at you being all presidential. Looking forward to next year!
@Nate Hi Lisa, woooo!!
@I smell sabotauge
@SEAS '14 Why in the world would you disclose the margin of victory? It only creates harm.
@yeah i didn’t think vote margins were to be disclosed…
@no1curr~ is all i gotta say
@Uh, DemocraSEAS... HATERS GONNA HATE! now chill, stop covering other peoples’ posters with yours and enjoy defeat.
@ANGEL SAY com’n bwog.
@Anonymous DemocraSEAS. You lost. Now stop whining.
@Anonymous Do I hear that DemocraSEAS played it dirty! Their elevator posters were demeaning and they campaigned in no campaign zones. Pity.
@Anonymous they were framed dumbass
@non-2014 ESC member oh please. they had a flyer with cut out holes designed for the elevator up and down buttons. As in it was DESIGNED for the elevator. Elevator of John Jay was off limits
are you telling me that their opponents actually MADE a flyer supporting their opposition just to frame them? Let’s think about this.
DemocraSEAS cheated. That’s that. Maybe they just didn’t pay enough attention to the rules and didn’t mean to, but if you run it’s your responsibility to read the given materials. I’m happy FUtastic won.
@Anonymous YAY MARY!!
@ESC Mary is perhaps one of the most disappointing leaders on ESC…I think her EGO is as big as her HAIR and that my friend is quite a big ‘fro
@? Who’s Judy Kim?
@Anonymous The most awesomest girl ever
@Anonymous she’s like 4 ft tall. so you might’ve just never seen her? but she’s cool.
@excuse me but she’s 5ft tall.
@Anonymous haters gon hate. congrats on presidency!! isnt this like your 3rd year in a row or something? o.o
@goonette SHUUUUUUUUUDIPTOOOOOOOOO what an amazing guy
@SEAS '14 Kathy Sun and Sidd Bahtt cheated. They put DemocraSEAS posters up in places that were restricted and then reported those posters.
@Anonymous They were the ones that DIDN’T cheat. They’re not in democraSEAS, they were FUtastic. Congrats to them for playing it clean.
@also seas 2014 I saw people take down Democraseas posters and put then in campaign free zones in John Jay. I don’t know which party they belonged to though.
@Right... only they weren’t DemocraSEAS. Get it right.
@Anonymous 2014 is run by financial engineers……….
@what do these people do? I’m pretty sure I didn’t vote for this one.
@Anonymous ANGEL DAY, MAN OF THE PEOPLE
@SEAS '14 Wtf? Upset for ESC ’14
@Anonymous Apencer? really? come on bwog. are you really in that much of a hurry?
@*proofread! it’s Spencer, not Apencer…
@Conor Forgive us, friends! We meant no offense to you.
@Anonymous It’s Angel Say for 2013 Rep.
@Anonymous It’s also Angel Say, not Angel Day.
Whoever wrote this should be kicked off bwog.
@Conor Repaired! This too shall pass.
@Settle down The letters are one space apart on the keyboard.
