i totally agree with you as well. MasterN doesn't want a robot either. He prefers to have a slave who can think critically and back up her convictions with logic and reason. Makes for a much more interesting relationship.
However, His mindset is that He does have the right to tell me who to vote for. Just as He has the right to tell me to walk down the street naked. But, on both accounts He never would. Having a right and exercising it are different. A Master must weigh the consequences of every order. And telling someone who to vote for would in 99% of the relationships out there would more than likely be, as e.b said, a "deal breaker".
Master has ordered me TO vote though. Something i'm very happy He does. i'd never voted in a local election until we met and usually in those cased i will ask Him who we should vote for. That is only because He's kept up on the issues and is more informed than me.
People tend to hold political ideals much like religion. But, unlike religion so many don't take political beliefs into consideration when picking a partner and don't feel the strain of it until an election. Heck, this election is even causing strife in my own family. So it was quite interesting to me to see if it was affecting any kinky relationships and how it was dealt with. i must admit i'm pleasantly surprised that so many leave it up to the slave to make up their own mind.
