I understand what Socialism is you made many poor attempts to explain it and still I support these programs because some people are evil. Voting for representatives is not oppression it is actually the best form of government humanity has come up with yet and makes an attempt at checking the evil of power. Oppression does not include the freedom and ability to choose a job, a place to live, a wife, and a family, liberty to own firearms, worship and pursuit of interests that coincide with my beliefs. You are the slave if you do not believe these are possible in the US. Keep swallowing the drivel and repeating talking points of the Democratic party about oppression while I live my fulfilling life and recognize how lucky we are compared to the other billions of Homo Sapiens that have lived and died. Nobody is arguing it is a perfect system, and you and I both agree on the importance of Socialist programs but do not purvey mindless opinion and outright prevarication that the USA is massive slave camp. Nobody forces you to work, go live in the forest and eat bugs ... you are free to do that in the US.
