I think we as a society need to focus less on nationwide politics and more on local politics and improving our communities through our own direct actions. Yes vote in the presidential election. But also volenteer in your local parish and maybe in secular charities as well. Though official on the books charities often have a lot of rules and red tape about them. If you're on the right I think it would be in your interest to look into what the far left calls "mutual aid" "building duel power structures". They're the idea of the community coming together and organizing to take care of it's own needs instead of relying on big government and big business. They do things like cook meals in the park for the homeless, make community fridges and pantries which give away free food and free stores which give away second hand goods.

Before I was old enough to vote, there was a period of time when I had every intention of voting. But then as I got nearer to an election that I could participate in, I saw how much politics destroyed relationships, and respect for leaders. Due to a variety of factors, I personally felt like I couldn't participate in voting, as I would not be able to vote in an unbiased manner without getting invested in politics. So for now I choose to watch from the sidelines as the world burns

If your only Christian value is not supporting abortion, then I fear we are all further from The Lord than we really realize.

[@Sousabird]

My entire voting life has required very little discernment, because I just pick whoever is most pro life. When I was a child I thought it would be much more difficult. In the end, all that most of us can do is love and do right by those who the Lord has put in our lives.

[@eldermillennial8330]

Well, how do you feel about Kennedy’s truce plan? He’s calling on peolife people and moderate pro choice people (against late term abortion and MEAN “safe & rare” when they say “SAFE, legal and RARE”) to call a truce for at least ten years to unite on deincentivizing women from having abortions. He doesn’t want to outlaw it, BUT does want it to become as rare as possible, and is opposed to biomedical ghouls who want their poor little bodies for diabolical experiments. His plan could eliminate 53% of abortion in a few months! That’s why if he runs for president in 2028, we should seriously consider supporting him.

[@jameslovell2626]

Even if that candidate throws out the whole Gospel? Christ taught us how to interact with people around us, the poor and underprivileged, the ones who seek mercy and compassion. This doesn’t mean to those we believe deserve it, but to everyone. Including groups one “pro-life” candidate believes don’t deserve it. As has been made very clear, especially in the most recent rally. The one who stands up for the majority of the country is the right one, not the one who stands up for only one group. The fact that so many “Christians” support hatred and bigotry while the other candidate is trying to build up the whole country, is disheartening, to say the least.

Guys its VERY important as Christians that we aren’t FOOLED by a candidate’s WORDS on how much they love God… LOOK AT HOW THEY ACT. Are they more humble than the other? Are they helping more people with programs? Do they encourage giving to people? Do they look down on people? Do they value the unborn? Do they divide people? You will find BOTH candidates fail more than the other on every topic, but from what IVE seen… Kamala DEFINETLY beats Trump on almost all of this… As a Christian… even though I abore abortion and other anti-Christian things that Kamala endorses… there is NO WAY IN HELL I can get behind a candidate who is as PRIDEFUL or RICH or DIVISIVE as DONALD TRUMP, a candidate that makes such a strong “us vs them” mentality for people, ESPECIALLY in Evangelican white men and women in the South, FURTHER dividing a group of Christians from the rest of the world

How does your candidate and those surround and support them treat others of conflicting opinions? No one is perfect by any means but after 8 years of incessant negative screeching about trump this trump that, the world is going to end, and my finances contributing to less and less because I'm spending more on groceries and bills as with everyone else, I'm going to be voting for the person who has a clear plan that contributes to the benefit of everyone, and form complete sentences and not sound drunk and honestly desperate while doing it.

[@KalebOfAxum12]

I am not a Harris supporter, (anyone who would dare call abortion “women’s healthcare” has no right being president). But I did the research on this matter because I was eager to use it in a debate and I found that while there was a mobile abortion facility in the area it wasn’t exactly as close as some sources were making it out to be, with this in mind there is still plenty of other actions by Harris that still prove this argument quite well. Just recently for example, Harris had Mrs. Obama speaking at a rally where she quite literally declared that women shouldn’t care if their husbands or boyfriends get upset about having an abortion, which just shows how depraved and selfish these people really are.

Additionally, I truly don’t think he cares about the betterment of his country or his fellow men. I think any good results are happenstance in the course of the quest for power.

For those who think we need to vote republican based solely on the issue of abortion I'd like to say republicans voted against a national abortion ban and Trump said he wouldn't support one.

[@Fragolux]

A couple dissident GOP congressmen have outright admitted their refuses to legislate on it whenever they're in power so they can cynically use it for campaign fodder. As for Trump, he's an old New York Democrat who probably doesn't feel particularly strong on the issue himself, and I personally think he's afraid trying to push for a national ban might cause blue states to revolt.

[@skyfox4072]

A nationwide abortion ban would be hard to push through. Instead the overturning of Roe v Wade allows the pro-life movement to campaign at the state level to change hearts and minds over the issue which can affect legislation at the local level. Democrats want to close this opportunity with Roe v Wade style legislation at the national level.

While I understand that most wars are opportunistic grabs for resources and power, exactly what is the rationale for wars being bad. Joshua's conquest of Canaan was at worst tragic, but evil it was not. Just as the death of Judas is portrayed as his just judgement, while still being a tragic instance of someone who had been given everything and still chose evil, so his death was just. No person who, in scriptures, is filled with the Holy Spirit to do an action should ever be interpreted as doing wrong or even a "necessary evil". The right hand of God does no evil. so when othniel or shamgar judged Israel and slayed thousands of its enemies, there is no point in that text that suggests sin was incurred. What is the point we should be looking for to say that one war is bad and another is good.

[@eldermillennial8330]

A righteous king never initiates a war unless God explicitly orders him to do so. Be prepared to finish but never start a war, and NEVER resort to deception to convince your subjects that a war is just when it isn’t. Don’t be a neocon.

@@eldermillennial8330 Exactly how explicit does it need to be. Do you think that only the heavens opening up and being told by God directly (to the king) is necessary, or can a religious authority (monk, bishop) say that its right (vision or otherwise). Is there no way at all for a person to tell whether he needs to go to war without divine revelation? Is this a judgemnet that is arbitrary of Gods own will? Or is this something that can be seen plainly by persons in the right position? And I am not a neocon.

I don't know if St. Paisius' advice is still applicable today. Fortunately, I am not an American and can look at it from the outside, but as a Czech I have that division of society at home too. Paisius' criteria: 1. Neither candidate is a Christian. Trump plays at it but his fruit is rotten, Harris doesn't even pretend to be. 2. Love of country: that's where I believe Kamala leads a bit. Donald comes across as a man who loves only himself. ... I would probably personally vote for Harris because she is consistent and predictable.
