At school yesterday, my friend - the one who has depression - participated in a thing in class where they all put in votes for whichever presidential candidate they would’ve voted for. He was then told to kill himself (I don’t know if it was said by the teacher or a classmate) because he chose Trump.

Now, I hate Trump with a burning passion (not gonna get into why because that’s not the point of this post), but under no circumstances should you ever tell someone to end their life just because they voted (or would vote) for a different person than you did, especially if you know they have a mental condition that’ll cause those words to hurt more than you may have intended. (He had a whole breakdown while chatting with me last night - started saying life was pointless and questioning his faith and all that, it was horrible to see.)
