It’s hard to get MIT students involved in politics. We’re politically aware, but not very politically active. We sit in our rooms reloading fivethirtyeight.com, and we crack political jokes when the opportunity arises, but we consider ourselves too busy to get out our phone and make calls or get in a car and canvass in New Hampshire. We’ve got problem sets, demos, papers, grants, and dissertations to worry about. To many, this election is a form of entertainment to be enjoyed at a distance.
