      “i’m oppressed because of my political opinions” grow the hell up. oppression is when people target you for something about yourself you can’t change. oppression because of political views is just people telling you you’re an asshole and you refusing to listen

              obviously you have to vote. but you can’t just vote. and if you vote third party you might as well not have voted.
