You're talking about one person. All the politicians I've seen are wicked. I said plenty often that they should be replaced with people pf godly character. Until then, working with who is in the race (eg Harris vs Trump), have to vote for nobody by that standard. If voting for policy, we look at policies rather than the politician.

Progressives have been, at an institutional level, censoring the Gospel as hate speech or harassment, mocking God in media, promoting idolatry/universalism, pushing fornication, promoting child murder (abortion) even financially, pushing LGBT even in elementary school, and recently systematic discrimination against entire groups. They also defend Palestine over Israel when they have to pick a side. They also export sexual immorality to other countries via media and political deals which is exactly what Revelation warns about in Rev. 17:2.

The Old Testament shows these same traits... especially idolatry, child murder, and ditching Biblical marriage for perversion... being common threads for the destruction of nations. That Progressives promote these on a policy level, but mock and fight God's design and the Gospel, means we have a clear choice. One party, who is merely pandering, will at least let us share Christ, protect babies from murder, and reverse other damaging trends. Those trends are happening now but didn't under Biden/Harris or Obama.





They’re not merely pandering, though, they are swearing by The Lord’s name falsely. Why is it a good thing to vote for them when their stated plan is an active (and immoral) deceit to fake Godliness and trick you into empowering them, and convince you their opponents are immoral and evil? Don’t you worry this is a Trojan horse, that you’re inviting in Satan disguised as an angel of light to your sanctuary? Anyway, it’s working, which is why you already know that it’s not just one person we are talking about, right? You’re talking about voting for a ruling political party on religious grounds, a party that is using your religious views to sway your political opinion. They do not share your views in Christ, they are weaponizing Christianity more successfully than anyone else ever has.

Personally I worry about the fact that Republican fiscal policy is actively harmful to supporting the lives of the children who are being saved by the abortion ban. Why are we cherry picking only the pre-birth side of a pro life agenda? Why aren’t they pro- the already born living? Their fiscal policies are actively and intentionally harmful to the poor and actively against sharing costs and establishing social safety nets. To me it feels extremely un-Christ-like to spread so much hate and division and pretend to care about Christians.

I’m not sure we’re going to reach one another constructively, but I remain intensely curious how and why Republicans are so successful at this when they are certainly working against the interests of pious people like you. It’s very interesting that democrats are being successfully vilified and painted as pure evil when their fiscal policy is traditionally firmly on the side of loving thy neighbor in the way God meant it when speaking to Moses, while conservative policy is firmly on the side of stripping the vineyard bare and leaving nothing for the sojourner, of keeping the hired workers wages all night, of not caring for one another. Their policies are designed to benefit the ultra rich at the expense of the poor, and this is a damaging trend that is accelerating.
