The Daily Gamecock went dark for a week last semester because, frankly, we were burnt out.
The people who stormed the U.S. Capitol Building Wednesday afternoon are not new, and they’re not going away. With this in mind, we can’t hesitate to call their movement what it is: Fascism.
Conservatives should understand the profound ideological hypocrisy that was at play the afternoon of Jan. 6 on Capitol Hill and accept the results of the presidential election instead of baselessly claiming them inaccurate.
College students need a stimulus check. Many students have to work their way through school and are independent, self-sufficient adults. They are not exempt from the pandemic, and so should not be exempt from receiving financial help. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act makes it difficult for many college students to qualify for federal assistance. But, whether you attend online or in-person, college is expensive.
Mental health trumps any school work, and scheduling out time to decompress during the week is a vital part of ensuring that your mental health remains a priority.
In 2018, I filed a lawsuit against the University of South Carolina and my art professor, David Voros, for harassment, retaliation and the following negligence in dealing with my formal complaints. Recently, two new lawsuits were filed against both USC and David Voros. As students and faculty, you have a right and an obligation to know how these lawsuits affect you too. And trust me, they do.
Despite all the time spent talking about how horrible 2020 was, we’ve spent relatively little time looking at why it was so bad. Perhaps it seems obvious — there was a pandemic, if you haven’t heard – but if we don’t look past the obvious, then we can’t expect 2021 and beyond to be much better.
I’ll make this quick. I know we all have finals and projects to be working on.
Democrat Joe Cunningham’s 2018 win in South Carolina’s traditionally Republican 1st Congressional District shocked the state two years ago. The blue wave did not survive 2020, though, and Cunningham’s 2020 loss to Nancy Mace reveals the limits of his centrist political style.
In light of an October murder one block from campus, USCPD should reevaluate its criteria for Carolina Alert notifications and use the system more frequently to ensure the safety of USC’s campus community.
Thanksgiving shouldn’t be celebrated with a sanitized version of American history, but it should be used to reflect, be authentically thankful and spent with family.
Despite all the backlash and usual detestation geared toward him, President Trump has every right to challenge the results of key battleground states in court and call for recounts.
The results of the 2020 election shouldn't be doubted. It is indisputable that Joe Biden is the President-elect. To humor Trump's complaining would set a dangerous precedent. Questioning legitimate election results is not what happens in stable countries. Rather, it is what happens in third world countries where dictatorships masquerade as democracies.
Blue Georgia is a pleasant surprise, but it was going to happen eventually.
As the next White House administration prepares to take office in January, the ongoing concerns of climate change need to be addressed for the sake of establishing sustainable living.
Last month, Twitter and Facebook decided to restrict access to a likely false New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s time at a Ukrainian natural gas company. These decisions should not be celebrated as a victory against “fake news” because they set a dangerous precedent for the role of Big Tech in our media.
Just as people have the right to vote, they also have the right to abstain, either because of barriers to voting or political disinterest.
With the election now over, the topic of politics is bound to be on everyone’s minds. As Thanksgiving arrives, it’s essential to listen to your family members’ political opinions, even if you don’t necessarily agree.
While the world continues to grapple with the ongoing changes of normalcy within the COVID-19 pandemic, college football fans of South Carolina should be allowed to attend more than one game.
The existence of the Electoral College is detrimental to American politics. It is a relic of the past that must either be updated for modern times or be confined to the dustbin of history entirely.
