To Vote or Not to Vote

If a voter considers him or her self a one issue voter they should know they really are not. If a person intends to vote for their favorite issue they must realize they are voting for the many other issues associated with the candidate supporting their favored one issue.

For example, suppose a voter is interested in a candidate’s stance on abortion they need to know they are supporting all other issues that candidate advocates. That may include such things as free sex change operations for prisoners, a lack of support for Israel, Medicare-for-All, support for the Green New Deal policies, and an expansive Socialist philosophy agenda The latter will completely remake America as another Venezuela.

A one issue vote carries with it endorsement of many other issues.

On the other hand a refusal to vote for the Republican ticket because of a dislike for the person at the head of the ticket is a rejection of the positive issues of the party. Enduring the offensives of the person in order to benefit from the policies is a positive move.

Regarding both candidates, if you get the policy you get the person. In both instances if you get one you get the other.

Socialism has hijacked the former formidable Democratic Party. In light of this there are still many long standing Democrats who are good people who insist on supporting the party. The byword is what is good for the party is good for the country. The reverse is true, what is good for the country is good for the party.

Globally there are millions of people who would love to have the privilege of choosing their leaders. Here at home older adults tend to cherish the right to vote more than younger voters. We voted early. In the room awaiting to hear their number call were almost exclusively older adults. It looked like a ward at the hospital. At great personal effort many struggled to vote. They did it though.

Don’t wait to vote before getting a perfect candidate. If you do, you will never vote. All human beings are flawed, all are members of a fallen race.

An extensive poll by the Barna Institute indicates the U.S. voting-age population is about 268 million, and the survey estimated that about 212 million adults qualify as being in the “people of faith” category. Since 49% of “people of faith” in the survey indicated they would not be likely to vote, that amounts to approximately 104 million Americans “of faith” who are unlikely to vote.

This voter block could change America were they willing to vote.

Yet Barna’s research also found that these nonvoters may reconsider their apathy if their pastors encourage them to vote.

“This research underscores the fact that simply encouraging people to vote in order to fulfill their biblical responsibility would not only be seen as doing their job while helping the community, but an estimated 5 million regular churchgoers would be likely to vote as a result of that simple exhortation,” Barna said in a press release on the findings. “That, in itself, could change the outcome of the election.”
