I don't know Ron Conway, have never heard anything but good things about him. I was expecting the published email to be more about what he thought people should vote, a plea to certain sensibilities which he believes in.
Note: I also don't live in the US (and therefore, clearly not in the bay area) and therefore have no horse in this election race.
It's a bit disheartening to see a simple list of the items/people to be voted for, and how someone should vote.
No explanation, not an "I'm voting this way and hope you do to", but rather what reads as more of a command of the way the reader should vote.
Having never met Ron Conway, I'm not going to hold this against him, like I said, I've heard great things, and am saddened to see Pando/Paul gloriously defaming him in the intro. I guess that's what I expect of Paull Carr, I haven't read anything of his in ages, and I guess I remember why now.
- sokoloff 11y agoIt doesn't read at all like a command to vote a certain way to me. He first urges people to get out and vote (that's the only part I read as command-like). He then later provides a list of recommendations. The secret ballot process in the US precludes any repercussions for voting/not voting in any particular way.
