3. It's great. Was even considering a rare OP, until I saw yours. It would be a dream if Abrams wins.

Damn Oprah!!
She is here today "because of Stacy Abrams, for the oppressed, the repressed, for their rightful equality at the polls, and I want you to know, that their blood has seeped into my DNA and I refuse to let their sacrifices be in vain"

THANK YOU OPRAH

I don’t get them having people on and then just talking the same points over the new content.
