There are 161 million registered voters in the US. If these 104 million aren’t voting, that means we’ll only have about a 35% turnout? I seriously doubt this math. (But I do understand the points you’re making in the article).

When discussing registered voters, let’s not overlook the significant number of unregistered individuals, including those who are undocumented. As a Canadian, I see the challenges we face with our own leaders who often seem out of touch. If I were an American, I’d find myself casting my vote for Trump. While he may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I admire many of his policies.

Trump garnered a massive following of dedicated MAGA supporters, and there’s got to be a reason for that. During his time in office from 2016 to 2020, the USA experienced a notable stability—no new wars, lower prices, filled job openings, and a more secure border.

Let’s talk about the pandemic; I believe it was more than just a health crisis—it seemed designed to disrupt families and sow discord across the nation. My hope is that people will prioritize their families and think critically rather than just echoing mainstream media rhetoric. Let’s work together to make choices that truly serve us all!

I understand all of this, according to my faith I would rather not pick a candidate either. But humans are not perfect and I feel that because we have let our country go into a deep, dark hole, to vote in THIS election is the only way out. I feel that DJT is promoting the values as a Christian and free person that I want, perfection, no, and neither am I. Otherwise the other side will take away ALL religious liberty we have now, God wants me to vote for freedom and peace now, I feel it. The other side is hell bent on abortion, war, control, and replacing Americans with people who have no knowledge of what our country has stood for. My 2 cents!

Stephanie, if you were really a Christian, you'd realize that voting for a "lesser of evils" is sinful, because you're still voting for evil. Also, Trump/Vance aren't less evil than Kamala/Walz, they're all equally Satanic, all deceivers on the world stage.

You did not even come close to making the case that voting for Trump is a sin. What sin?

Well, I know I am a Christian!! Ha! I am saved! I KNOW IT! But hey, Thworsch, you can say what you want, I appreciate that.

I’m not voting for anyone.

One of the reasons, is the genocide-literal genocide-happening in the Middle East. Trump supports this.

Also, all the lies regarding Operation Warp Speed, and Trump not acknowledging THAT genocide occurring as we speak.

Spiritually, and morally, I cannot support this.

Thank you for writing what my heart and mind have decreed - and I believe we have the PRIVILEGE and RESPONSIBILITY to exercise VOTING - it may be an imperfect system--but it's the BEST ONE 'out there' right now. When KING JESUS rules the NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH--then...we will know RIGHTEOUS governing. Until then...I CHOOSE TO VOTE every time there is an election.

Actually, it’s a horrible system. I will not be a part of it. What must be changed, is on an individual spiritual basis, not political, with due respect.

There is no "other side." Trump openly supports abortion.

Is that why Trump wants “certain” speech banned? Not okay, as far as I’m concerned.

If ‘104 million Americans of faith’ are choosing not to vote in the coming election, then the effect is that 104 million Americans are voting for the incumbents - led by that total effwit of a woman, who is nothing but a stooge for her gang of political crooks. Sure, the ‘Americans of faith’ may not like Trump - after all, he is so unlovable - I get that - but to hand their country on a platter to the forces of complete evil (and ultimately the rulers of the PRC) because ‘Americans of faith’ are either not interested in politics, or want to remain pure, is an act of gobsmacking insanity.

I come from a country far across the sea that was NOT founded by a class of ‘Pilgrim Fathers’ clutching their bibles - and was never afflicted with the depredations of Elmer Gantry types roaming the countryside taking the godly suckers for a ride. My country that was never so stupid as to try and prohibit the consumption of alcoholic beverages - as America tried to do in the 1920s - thus triggering a gangster society.

The country I come from was born in Original Sin as a British penal colony - that is, it was a country founded by sinners. But our founding fathers could see through the fake & hypocritical religiosity that America had embraced, so, for example, they resolved from the start never to accept slavery as an institution.

If ‘104 million Americans of faith’ choose not to vote so that they can remain ‘pure’ - thereby allowing the neo-fascist oligarchs who currently control the U.S. to perpetuate themselves, then two things will happen - (1) you can kiss goodbye to your country, for ever; and (2), you will confirm what most people in other countries already suspect - namely that ‘104 million Americans of faith’ are just suckers, I mean, really stupid suckers.

The moral of the story was summed up by a pragmatic Australian prime minister decades ago. He warned his purist party members: “To be pure is to be impotent”. So wake up to yourselves, Americans - get out and vote and force the neo-fascist incumbents out of office!

Yes, I agree. Wonder just how many of these 104 million Americans of faith have lined up for their clot shots like farm animals? Gettin their veterinary care er’ 6 months or so. Did we do this before 2020? No. But now, most of those types go on down to their “health clinics” & get their shots like good lil’ sheeple. The mRNA LNP poison they know nothing about. Don’t even research it or ask questions. This is their mentality on the whole. So they think they’re so smart by not voting, but alas, they’re not. Being apathetic is the norm for these people. It’s a good excuse, imo.

Never have, never will. Can’t fool me none. Like Sage, I knew mere minutes into their psyop, it was pure BS. People with PTSD don’t trust, as a rule. And always question everything. So no shots. Thank you.

Soo you have zip faith on medical research?

Correctomundo. Zip. The FDA gets 70% of it’s funding from big pharma. They are in bed together. Big pharma “Scientists” get paid big bucks to manipulate their data so products get approved. Most medical journals are full of manipulated data & propaganda. Docs no longer trust them. Most docs don’t do their own due diligence & research anything. It’s a huge shitshow!

Well, I needed some good news today. Thanks for this. I gave up on politics a long time ago. I gave up on church when I was instructed to say, “yabadabadoo” to “get my prayer language”…I only wish I was kidding about that. I got up and walked out while others stayed and mindlessly parroted “yabadabadoo” (I could have just watched the Flintstones if I wanted to say that). I choose to govern myself. I can balance my budget without spending other people’s money on destructive or extravagant things…something I have yet to witness in the current power structure in my lifetime. I trust my own motives and ethics. I have opted out of this (s)election season. I read Lysander Spooner, Larkin Rose. I just want to be a part of building something new and wholesome. The current power structure is not anything I wish to be a part of or grant my energy towards.

Then I hope that they are going to be very happy with another 4 years of destructive and anti Christian policies.

No, this is not good news, even if the math is wrong, which I suspect, unless they were voting for Harris, which is doubtful.

I'd like to get rid of most of our federal government, including the President and executive agencies (replacing with a diplomatic post like Secretary of State) and Supreme court (replacing with a 50 state council for interstate issues) but that is not likely to happen and certainly has no chance with a heavy deep state attached. (And, I think all voters should be required to take a civics test.)

That doesn't mean I won't vote b/c this is the system we have now. As another commenter stated, not voting is voting for the incumbent - perhaps the most unvetted and vapid presidential candidate America has ever seen: Kamala Harris. How irresponsible is that? Biden's DEI gave us Harris. Trump was trying to get rid of DEI.

Furthermore, yes, Trump made mistakes in his first adminstration but he kept us out of WAR and the economy was far better. Putin didn't invade Ukraine during the Trump years. Little Kim stopped firing missles in 2017 for a few years. Why is that? Peace through Strength.

Trump is thumbing his finger at the deep state! And just look at his team now - RFK, Jr., Elon, Vivek, Tulsi, Vance and other freedom loving Americans!

If Harris wins, then it may be because too many people believe this crap to not vote.

For me of course DEI means Deport Every Illegal. My Dad was an American Cowboy, guitar pickin ass kicking when necessary, Farrier who referred to himself as a Horse Mechanic. Our Mom was born in England and brought here when her parents immigrated by legal means. Mom was a Letter Carrier in the 1960s, a truck driver local then over the road, then a tattoo artist who apprenticed for Doc Webb downtown. San Diego, CA. Both are gone now. Dad was a die hard Republican and Mom kept her politics to herself. My wife and I raised 8 productive adults and are patiently awaiting grand #5.

if you're not going to vote because you don't like either candidate you are part of the problem. Wake up. Make your voice heard. Pray for better. Be better.

The voting is for activists. You own shares in a company, they selected 10 board members, and you vote for them? If only 10% of the share holders voted, and they voted only for males or females thinking a better direction? At the end of the day the management will run that company the way they want, and the board members are simply decorative.

I would compare it to WWE or NFL fans. I know plenty of Democrats and Republicans, they couldn't be more tribal and less informed. It's about being part of a group for NPC's who need to feel like they're "part of something."

Why not vote for the lesser of two evils? We can work to highly influence the better side, but with the evildoers, we just let them roll their dirt all over us. Pray for our leaders and help select them!

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.

'If Haris gets elected the speed bumps will be removed as we roll on toward the Great Reset. We had a taste of hard tyranny to various degrees at the height of COVID. So, if my choice is between hard tyranny and soft tyranny, I will choose the latter as this allows us at least to work toward liberty. It is often said the lesser of two evils is still evil. On the flip side, there can always be a new rock bottom. It can always get worse."

It’s extremely important to vote.

You may not agree 100% with one persons policies but it’s better to agree with 50% of what someone says they stand for instead of only 10%. Think of a marriage, it’s a give and take. Sometimes there has to be a compromise to meet in the middle.

You may not like Trump but he at least is a Patriot and we have seen how well our country did under his lead. We have also seen how Harris leads over these last 4 yrs. First and foremost, she wasn’t even selected by the people, second she and Walz both support a Socialist agenda, and third she has the lowest approval rating of any VP in history. That alone speaks volumes. When she ran in 2020, Harris was the first to drop out because she couldn’t get more than 1% of the vote in the primaries and her entire support staff disintegrated because they stated she was extremely toxic to work for. Since being VP, she has had an entire staff turnover for the same reason. Harris is over her head and she would not be running our country.

This country is in trouble and going down a bad path under this administration. Harris stated in her own words; “I wouldn’t do anything different”.

Unless you are happy with the path this country is currently on then don’t vote because you will essentially be voting for what we have right now and it will continue to get worse.

I love my country and everything the Constitution stands for which is why I’m voting for Donald Trump.

It’s better to vote than sit on the sidelines and watch.

The Uniparty Nazi Demon Worshiping Pedophiles, Cannibals/Vampires mostly of the FORMAL DEMOCRAT PARTY though they inhabit both sides of the aisle HATES GOD and wishes to THIEVE ALL CREATION FROM GOD.

That alone makes those refusing to vote for the ticket PROTECTING The U.S. Constitution under Trump/Vance/Kennedy to protect the UNALIENABLE RIGHT TO PROTECT THE RIGHT TO WORSHIP THE GOD THEY CLAIM FAITH TO is a mortal sin in itself.

Oh please this argument for non participation is not an effective way to improve the conditions. Will they participate when their children are taken? How about when forced abortions are mandated? They will lose their first amendment rights, gun rights and the right to assemble under communism.the battle will be harder then. Fight communism early.

This is mostly a non event. The obvious first question is what was turnout in previous elections, according to the survey this is only a slight decrease from previous years. I couldn't find the margin of error. A more interesting take would be that most Americans of faith are still voting for one of the two candidates even when they both support wars & genocide, that is more astounding in my eyes.
