This doesn't even make sense. Voting has nothing to do with if the people are being opressed or not.

I never said that Caeser was not positive for Rome in some aspects. What I am arguing is that the ideas that Cicero held (and Cato the Younger) were more congruent with the ideas of Individual Liberty then the ideas Caeser held.
