Although my first preference would be voting on issues, rather than
individuals, yes, I did vote for the incumbent, and the last one as well.
I'm not a Republican or a Democrate, nor am I registered to vote under
either of these parties, but another party. I don't find a chattel
connection between being an extropian and voting for a government official
so at least represents some of my views which in the country I live, affect
my life considerably. I must somehow, in some manner, deal as directly as
I can with what affects my life. In that I'd rather participate on voting
than complain about it, I vote. If any other party was in the running and
was more aligned with my own ideology, I'd vote likewise.
Best,
Natasha
