Great advice by LoZ and scorpion.
Be careful about your digital footprint. Scott Thompson probably thought nothing of lying about studying computer science when he was a new grad. But then he became the CEO of Yahoo and someone (Daniel Loeb) was sufficiently incentivized to dig for dirt. You might think nothing of posting on RVF now, but a headline along the lines of "Is Prince of Persia a closet misogynist? Aspiring politician was member of online community that advocates rape" could end your career. I'm not saying delete your account, but it might be worth your while to look into VPNs/tor/other methods of internet anonymity.
Best of luck to you. We need as many politicians of pure heart and good intentions as possible.
