There is a medium to the enduring clash between the old and new guard of American politics, and hopefully, we discover it. 

We should all feel angry and disheartened by the rise of mass shootings. If anything, our contempt for these shootings and inactive politicians should translate into a more resounding response at the ballot box. 

With increasing political engagement and voter turnout, our generation has become more engrossed and animated in politics. That should be encouraged as we challenge the merits of these institutions, but that does not warrant a complete overhaul of any system without an in-depth reflection on its existence and the consequences. 

There must be a solidified wall between the rancor partisan wars of legislation in Congress and the ideal impartiality of the final adjudication in court.

A more engaged student body should be the objective of the ASUC because elaborate deliberation and dissent are the natural results of a more involved community.

If the only two contestants our political system can produce are Trump and Biden, then we all need to take a hard look at ourselves and reiterate what we value as a nation.

With the risk of relying too much on broad generalizations, I see that UC Berkeley students approach their academic seats at this school with an extra layer of complexity.

In democracies around the world and especially in the United States, real grassroots movements spark change in Congress — not on the face of the “Mona Lisa.”

A united Congress does not mean the elimination of dissent; ideally, unity is a product of genuine concern and eventual agreement. 

Although it's notoriously avoided, public speaking is a grueling necessity for most professions because communication is the cornerstone of leadership.
