This is my opinion, but I think a Christian has to be resigned to casting votes that the World will undoubtedly ignore. If the greatest voices in politics are given to the World, the Flesh, and the Devil–and the voice of wealth in politics is almost always the voice of worldliness, have no doubt about that–we ought to shout in thanksgiving every time we find a candidate we can vote for in good conscience.The problem is the two party system and the brainwashed Americans that think their vote doesn’t count and that they MUST vote for one or the other.
It’s self-indulgent and prideful when, as now, the third party candidate has no chance at all.Nothing wrong at all with voting for a third party candidate.
I’m not convinced the Dems running are a lesser problem. They are a different problem to be sure, but lesser problem? Questionable to say the least.However, I have also learned that a vote for someone who has no chance of winning doesn’t help the person that is the lesser problem of the two that could win.
Where are we taught that being faithful to the Gospel means saying things the secular world will listen to?It’s self-indulgent and prideful when, as now, the third party candidate has no chance at all.
More to the point, how will these two parties ever be challenged if no one is willing to vote for any other party?Voting for the candidate that most lines up with your values is neither self indulgent nor prideful. Many people are sick of the choices we have had recently, and I don’t blame them at all for voting third party. If so many people weren’t locked into your line of thinking maybe we could get better candidates.
You are morally bound to oppose great evil when you can. One would fail that at the peril of his soul, and rightly.I don’t think I’m morally-bound to vote for the lesser of two evils
He’s more brave than every man in DC put together. He has been attacked, his family has been demeaned, he has withstood 2+ years of fake investigations that resulted in nothing after 2+ years of fake news articles and constantly defends Christians like Catholics on abortion and Catholic Covington kids when everyone else jumped the gun. As far as women, let’s look at liberal icons areThis is not a man who is a “great and very brave soldier” in defense of the Christian attitude towards women and marriage.
Care to elaborate?In my opinion, they are a lesser problem.
When it’s a thrown away vote, that’s exactly what it is. It’s like marrying someone because she looks like you. Self-love.Voting for the candidate that most lines up with your values is neither self indulgent nor prideful
If more people were clear-eyed about opposing murder, we would get better voters.If so many people weren’t locked into your line of thinking maybe we could get better candidates.
What if you vote for a third party candidate that is pro-life? Or are we morally bound to vote Republican because they’re somewhat pro-life and have a better chance to win? At any rate I’m not convinced that more than a handful of Republicans are even interested in advancing the pro-life cause, they rather just have the issue as a cudgel to bash Democrats with.You are morally bound to oppose great evil when you can. One would fail that at the peril of his soul, and rightly.
The problem is 2 or 3 Republicans in the Senate hold up meaningful pro-life legislation such as Senators Collins and Murkowski preventing planned parenthood from being defunded.What if you vote for a third party candidate that is pro-life?

Keep in mind that he did the same thing to the sitting President himself by implying he had investigators in Hawaii with evidence that Barack Obama was not born there when he had no such evidence at all. (You know the tweets are out there to prove it; this isn’t people saying things about him, but his own words.) He has the habit of spreading blatantly false rumors about others, even now. As for sexual offenses, again, it doesn’t take anyone else’s accusations to charge him. His own words say plenty to put him in a glass house.He’s more brave than every man in DC put together.

(1) Bill Clinton, an alleged serial rapist, who lost license practice law and had to pay $850K settlement
(2) JFK a pervert who turned WH into a brothel every weekend (fact) while his wife fled the scene and (3) Ted Kennedy who killed a woman after which he was made “Lion of the Senate”,
