<p>I know this may be kinda random...but I have been contemplating joining the democrats club and such...is anyone in it or know about it? Is it fun and interesting? Would it (this is probably SO stupid of me to think of!) hurt me if im applying to a grad school or a job and a super conservative republican reviews my application? </p>
<p>Another thing about being liberal...is Cornell liberal? I guess that since it has sciences and engineering and such (and it's not a liberal arts college) I'm worried that it won't be as liberal as I am hoping. I applied to a ton of liberal arts colleges but I decided that I wanted to go to Cornell the most...will there be a lack of a liberal atmosphere? I figure since it's in the northeast and since it's an Ivy it is still pretty liberal...</p>
<p>Thanks for answering my random questions!!!</p>
<p>oh yes, cornell is liberal. but i don't think the democrats do much, just because they don't have to do much, because it's already a liberal campus. but i do know people from massachusetts who think that cornell is moderate.</p>
<p>Well after looking at a lot of liberal arts colleges and seeing Cornell people making fun of Brown and LAC's for being super liberal I was getting a little worried...</p>
<p>Cornell is very liberal. I consider myself a Libertarian, kids in my business classes think I'm ultra-conservative, but for our purposes you can consider me just moderate. On the whole, I feel as though Cornell is far more liberal than I am.</p>

<p>Yeah I was active in the democrats back in fall '04, when it was actually worth something. We did grassroots campaign work both locally and in swing states (took a couple weekend trips to PA to do grassroots activism stuff). That was pretty cool. But with the major elections over the club basically fell to infighting and, well, politics. Now they don't do too much other than bring speakers to school now and then, which is cool, they've brought Howard Dean and a bunch of other well-known people. And with mid-terms coming up they might be doing some actual campaign work in the near future.</p>
<p>Hi. I'am a liberal. I use this political label because I have no self worth or ability to form any original opinions. I vote strictly based on party lines because I am an assclown. An assclown is like a republican except I don't wish death on others. I am ignorant but I pretnenedezied to be suppper smartrz and make up wordz i cant no. </p>
<p>Honestly, if you can place your ideoligy into one narrow minded box, then you suck. No really, you won't get laid. And isn't that all that really matters in the long run?</p>
<p>Hi. I'm a political outsider. I call myself this rather than any term that roughly corresponds to my personal beliefs because it makes me sound more impressive and lets me pretend I have an unbiased perspective. If you must know, though, I'm really just an arrogant jackoff who uses the term to support my sense of superiority.</p>
<p>And, I dunno, I think being willing to suck might help you get laid.</p>
<p>My theory is that young conservatives thrive in a (decidedly liberal) environment like Cornell because they have a great deal to attack and a sense that they have a purpose. Ann Coulter could be viewed as a product of that--she co-founded the Cornell Review, one of the conservative student papers here, partly as a way to "fight back". (Disclaimer: I also have a theory that Curious George only stayed with Yellow Hat man because he thought there was a banana on his head.)</p>
<p>I know a girl who's a very active Cornell Democrat and she's one of my favorite people. Also, I went to a Cornell Democrat party last August and it was pretty good. :D</p>
