     I am a single issue voter, that issue being "stop taxing me, no one else taxes citizens living abroad, I don't benefit from any services or privileges associated with being a US citizen", but even so I'd only vote libertarian over my dead body

     In the end I vote with my conscience to do my part in sparing my former countrymen from a four year orange nightmare... but still pretty please stop taxing me
