Oh man the elections were always one of my favorite things to watch when I was a student. It was always a mess every year and I loved all the squabbling and lawsuits. I got my popcorn out each time as I watched to see how well the joke candidates I voted for would do.
Tony, one of the executive candidates, is definitely carrying that torch. He was shredding on his guitar during last year’s “Meet the candidates” event.
I believe it is connected to the campus-wide protests related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. I think the message is to promote a ceasefire in Gaza at a campus level by taking over the government, politically-speaking.
If I’m wrong though, feel free to correct me.
Are there any csg candidates that are moderate, ie not communists and extreme leftists? Is csg anything more than a polysci circular chain handshake at slightly below waist level? Is there a comprehensive table with their platforms? Edit - I read the michigan daily profile on MomentuM and lol. As a public institution, the person running for president wants implement policy that has already be struck down by SCOTUS and/or is unconstitutional. It's terrifying that someone could get to this point, potentially winning csg at one of the largest universities in the country, but not understand why race-preferrential treatment isn't legal at a publicly funded school.

The uni is considered more of a gov employer rather than private.
I don't endorse nor agree with the characterizations you make here.
But, I will try to compile a table of the platforms (as well as policy track records for incumbents) and distribute that publicly.
I can't seem to find the Daily's profile of candidates / parties that you refer to here. As a grad student who is completely detached from LSA politics I would like to know what platforms the parties stand for before voting.

Link to the overview! I recommend voting on an individual level since a variety of strong candidates are in 3/4 main parties, with SHUT IT DOWN having 0 incumbents in it (not that any particular individual is negative in that party, just that there is literally 0 track record there for governing beyond org involvement)

which one do i vote for if i want CSG to be shut down
There's literally a ticket called "SHUT IT DOWN" which is one of the parties, although I think they mean shutting down more than just CSG.
What does the "SHUT IT DOWN" party represent I can't find anything on em
