“To bring this back to the original question, as a center-left country, between CMC and Pomona then, I say Pomona should be the pick.”



This argument seems to be missing a step… How do you get from “we live in a center-left country” to “Pomona should be the pick.”

Maybe you mean that we should go to a school that matches the political leanings of the country. But that seems like an odd criterion for picking a college-- what if the political leanings of the country were different?

Or maybe you mean we should go to a school that matches the “correct” political ideology. In that case, maybe we should all go to UC Santa Cruz or Pitzer since they have a reputation for being more liberal than even Pomona.

I honestly don’t know what you mean. I really don’t think the last election is any reason to go to Pomona over CMC. As a liberal CMC student, I enjoy the political awareness and diversity of opinions on campus. Being exposed to different points of view is how you learn.
