There is so much that is quotable here. Thank you. I agree with you that there is a far better candidate this time in terms of the most basic decency, not to mention the many virtues mentioned in the New Testament. I wonder why R. Postic did not consider undervoting as a better option than not voting, since undervoting is an action in itself that sends a clear message (especially if lots of people choose it—in certain countries, like Colombia, after a certain percentage of undervotes [or "blank votes"] an election is void).

We are not voting for a person, but for moral values behind the party, he/she represents. Being silent is also a choice, but a very costly one, for which will not be able to silence our conscience later.

Compelling article. Romans 13:1 - Vote for God's sake, 13:5 - Vote for conscience sake. American conscience as a society can testify to the past 8 years, the ups and downs we faced, 4 years as a Red state and 4 years as a blue state. You choose, we are voting for just a person but values behind the party.
