I do know both of them socially. Donnie is a great guy and Athan is a self absorbed asshole, that's all I'm saying.

Obviously it's Athan (and Sara's) fault for assembling a coalition that had to be spoonfed, but that doesn't mean they should be backstabbed for their trouble just because their petulant "slate" doesn't have the decency to actually uphold the mandate they were elected on. Trying to make Athan look bad on the count of "backdoor politics" is pretty hilarious when the attack is coming from people who Athan helped get elected on a reform ticket, but are now planning to run against him on the programs ticket. If Donnie doesn't like Athan "telling him what to do," he should just wait until his new boss Kate Jones is running the show... not only does she have an ego that won't quit, she has already proven how loyal she is to those who help her out. You've made your bed Donnie, have fun sleeping in it.

In my mind, the problem with CFC is that it won on a mandate for reform, and yet much of the rank and file of its Senators seem more than happy to keep up the ASUO business as usual (at best) and backstab the people and ideas which put CFC together (at worst). Maybe it's the CFC's fault for capitalizing on dissatisfaction with the ASUO without having a comprehensive reform agenda and Senate candidates who were actually committed to said reforms, but hey, at least they tried. If the ASUO reform movement is going to stay alive it needs to find candidates who are actually committed to the difficult task of reform, and not run at the first sign of adversity.

It seems as if someone was not doing their jobs properly, maybe even the president confronted him behind the scenes. Kim probably knew he was in trouble, and instead facing the consequences or starting to actually perform his duties, decided to go out with flare. I mean, what better way to cover your own ass than go out blaming someone else? When was being delegates extra duties such a problem? Isn't that what you are paid $100 EXTRA of STUDENT DOLLARS to do as vice president? And I thought ASUO drama only happened when I attended UO!
