Me arguing the other side

Well, I just had a nice paragraph, and then it got erased. :P Anyway, so what's with all the hate against BYUSA elections? They are important! Students need to feel like they have a say in who represents them. This is because if the administration just appoints BYUSA's leaders, the students feel like it is controlled and influenced too much by the great big evil bureaucracy. Students want to feel like the administration values the student body's opinions on an equal footing. The principle of representation cannot be undervalued.
Also, the presidency does indeed have a lot of influence, and different presidencies can push very different agendas. It is important that the agenda that is pushed by BYUSA be representative of what the students actually want.
