So, you’re a Republican or a conservative (and no, those aren’t always the same thing) and you don’t want to vote in this election because you feel as though it’s a choice between two evils and you just don’t want to choose evil. I have said that before – I usually said it to hide the fact that I was a Trump supporter and didn’t want people to attack me because it had happened at my job, by my boss.
I’ve talked about this before, the one issue voter, and I get where you’re coming from but also know that you need to get over it. Yes, I hear you telling me that you’re “sick and tired” of people telling you to just “get over it” and cast your ballot – again, I’ve been there so I know how you feel – and let me tell you why the candidate choices are your fault.
First, let me ask you: did you vote in the primary? If your answer is no, then please step aside sonny, because we have nothing to discuss. If your answer is yes, and the candidate for whom you cast your ballot didn’t win, does that mean you are willing to abandon the electoral process entirely over what could be a prideful hissy fit?
In all the elections you’ve voted in, have you ever cast your ballot for a candidate that you agreed with 100%? The answer, my friend, is no. You cast your ballot because most of their platform lined up with your moral sensibilities only for your choice to get into office and completely abandon their entire platform for the sake of appeasing the political machine.
Speaking of the machine, it’s certainly easy for Democrat voters to rally around whoever is on their ballot without a second thought. Some of this is because many Democrat voters are mindless followers beaten into submission by their overlords, and the other part is because they see the bigger picture; and that bigger picture is to keep every Republican and conservative out of any and all positions of government regardless of what the Democrat they voted for does when elected.
Part of that strategy is brilliant and poetic, because Democrats aren’t voting for a person, no, they are voting for the machine. That same political machine installed Kamala Harris as their nominee without a single primary vote, and chose a super weird, lying, CCP puppet as her running mate. Kamala isn’t calling the shots – she can’t even take a stance on an issue without flip flopping – and yet the whole of the Democrat machine will vote for her because they understand the assignment.
Republicans on the other hand, not so much. We don’t understand the assignment because we refuse to listen to anyone’s ideas except our own which is why there are numerous organizations forming door knocking efforts that are stepping all over each other and competing for the small number of conservative activists who would actually get off their rear-ends and take action.
We, conservative Christians, have allowed the machine to take over the seven mountains and now sit on the sidelines with our arms crossed stomping our foot on the ground refusing to vote because we can’t get exactly what we want. Well, you know what I want? I want the church to be more involved in politics but that doesn’t mean I stop going; I want Christians to stop complaining about the world and get involved to change it, but it doesn’t mean I stop having Christian friends; and I want a church body that stops choosing comfort and convenience over doing the hard tasks to affect change.
But, as the Rolling Stones said, “you can’t always get what you want.” So, please spare me your moral outrage at your choices on the ballot and get off your butt to save this country because not casting your ballot is a vote to allow an unspeakable evil machine to take us further into the destruction of our country.
