“You know it’s the Black and Brown kids who are worried," she said. "If it’s Ian Roberts who’s in trouble, what does that mean for them?”

Maybe they could have a peaceful protest and sing songs. Oh oh oh maybe they can vote in the midterms… as long as whomever is running meets 100% of their requirements.

Questioning the value of voting is the first sign that you've been mind controlled by an evil foreign government.

If you're in line to vote, stay in line!

I vote no matter what. Even if I think the system is rigged. Because there’s a chance I’m wrong. Even if I don’t like the options.
