We are Transhumanists, and we disavow Zoltan Istvan's candidacy for President of the United States.
We also disavow the nominal Transhumanist Party USA, so long as it cowers under authoritarian control, so long as it denies the diversity of Transhumanist values, and so long as it mongers unnecessary hostility toward others.
We support the Transhumanist Declaration, which reads: "Policy making ought to be guided by responsible and inclusive moral vision, taking seriously both opportunities and risks, respecting autonomy and individual rights, and showing solidarity with and concern for the interests and dignity of all people around the globe."
The positions and actions of Zoltan Istvan and his political party are not consistent with the Transhumanist Declaration. They are not inclusive. They do not show solidarity with or concern for the interests and dignity of all.
We are Transhumanists, and we disavow all political parties and candidates that would falsely or narrowly represent us.

The momentum is undeniable and it proves that people are finally waking up to the toxic reality of the so-called Transhumanist Party. We are stripping away the facade and showing the world that Istvan does not speak for us.

I tried to explain to Zoltan that a political party needs an organization that is open to those it claims to represent. He has ignored my advice and I am compelled to sign this petition.
Transhumanism should be a means to improve lives and provide abundance. It needs to be inclusive and respectful of even those who would reject Transhumanist technology.
I'd happily give my support should exclusivist and hostile attitudes toward religious groups be withdrawn from the words and actions of the party and its leadership.
As a transhumanist Zoltan does not represent me. In fact he damages our cause by scaring potential voters away with his focus on immortality and libertarianism.
Not that good a publicist either. That bus is P.T. Barnum buffoonery of the worst kind. A horrible idea... executed even worse. And astroturfing a community... is not done. Any publicist worth their salt knows this.
Hi Chris. I think I was able to remove your signature.
I will do all I can to keep Zoltan Istvan from ever being the presidential candidate for the US Transhumanist Party or any party, and in fact he should make no decisions on my behalf based on the selfish posts he made on his online social media accounts .

I think that Zoltan is not representing transhumanism accurately or with good information. I have serious doubts about a Party approach -- rather than working through policy institutes, etc. And I've seen some evidence that this US Transhumanist Party is neither inclusive nor accurate.
