Thanks for asking! If you live in a high-income country but still feel a lot of envy with EAs who have more economic advantages, then I would still agree-vote.
This doesn’t answer the question for people who live in high-income countries and don’t feel envy. Should they abstain? Should they answer about whether they would envy someone in their own position if they were less advantaged?
How should those vote who are already living in a high-income country with freedom, good infrastructure, and effective governance?
(I ask this without attempting to imply anything about precisely which countries qualify).

I’m capturing “vibes” here so this might be confusing...
If you generally feel a lot of happiness for other EAs’ advantages, then disagree-vote.
If you feel neutral or conflicted, I would abstain.
If you feel generally more envious, then agree-vote.
Was I able to clarify things?
