Political parties, no. I just don’t care that much about the topic to have a solid identity for any party which I could usefully use to apply to myself.
I do have an internal dialog, though. It’s just more fluid about identity of participants. I generally think of it as different-timeline future-selves arguing about which of them has it better based on the decisions I’m about to make.
Nope. Hard choices will have outcomes, but I don’t know them in advance, and can’t always be sure of them even in retrospect. That doesn’t keep me from imagining how I’ll feel about the decision if I find myself in each cell of the matrix of options and outcomes.

Are most of the hard choices you face ones with known factual outcomes? The future-self approach seems to rely on that.
