Anonymous asked:

Who are you voting for in the upcoming election and why?

I’m voting for Humma Kavula because his campaign slogan “Don’t Vote for Stupid” thoroughly convinced me that I would be wise not to vote for Stupid.

I seriously considered leaving this one here, and I also seriously considered just not answering this, as I just don’t feel comfortable saying so. Largely because in this platform it would feel I’m proclaiming there to be an objectively correct answer or that I’m playing for a team, neither is the case. However, I don’t run from the fact I think some popular economic policies aren’t based on accurate models of reality or that my values are better represented by the policies of some rather than others (after all I’m a flaming atheist who supports humanist values).

So thanks for the question but for the moment I’m still going to pass on a direct answer.
