I don't plan to voté any longer!
If i went abroad, I'll be happier if wasn't compelled to vote (like in some countries of S. America).
Who knows when a polítician lies?
If i was a JW I'll behave like them in such issue , yet Jer.17:5 warns me well I should not trust my heart (and none).
I'm not electing a god... I'm voting for a President. As far as I know, there's a time limit on that job. (At least in the US there is).
It´s doubtful a god needs to be voted for (I haven´t met one, at least).
I´m happy you´re the place you are (you´ve said USA) but, if you have read about LatAm (and the ways too many men tried to be voted permamently and more than twice) such in Bolivia or Venezuela, foolish ppl voted for them because they gave them FOOD, a humbre job, and a promise they will make all ppl alike (in my case, poorer that I was).
They have been lying more than 20 years! and no one really serve.
May I ask your opinion on #MAGA or Trump?
Twitter showed me not too many agreed with him and, instead, they love Cortez and the leftists.

By the way, since your brief profile says you´d be in Ohio (Cincinatti?) Is it true what I read, poverty has increased those areas like Detroit?
I'm aware other countries have even more screwed up situations, that's why I said "in the US"
I said I'm not voting for a god because of the scripture you attached to your post. Without trying to debate this or the pros/cons of being a JW (of which I do have experience) I don't believe that is what that scripture is talking about. You don't have to turn away from god to exercise your right to vote. Most people realize that politicians are lying to them and that sadly you're just trying to pick the person who is going to do the least damage. They are all corrupt.
My opinion on MAGA is that it's bullshit.
My opinion on Trump is that he's a pompous lying buffoon who likes to tout his own perceived importance while putting down others. (watch a couple of his press conferences) But, part of being in the US is that you have to put up with the ******* you didn't vote for (I don't mean silently, you can also exercise your right to protest) if he wins the election, even if he's shady as hell. (apparently) But for everything that the media puts out to demonize him, the country is still in one piece... and unless he gets voted in again, I only have to listen to this crap for another year.
I don't know who Cortez is, but a quick google search linked her with Bernie Sanders who I have heard good things about and I would have voted for if he had made it to the election last time. I voted for Clinton... and I really, really didn't want to. Lesser of two evils, imo.
I do not live in Cincinnatti, but yes the whole country is going to honeysuckle. Wages are stagnating while the cost of living skyrockets. Healthcare is decent, if you have insurance to pay for it. They can't deny you emergency care, but the bill may make you wish that they did. If anyone asks the government for help (welfare/disability/etc) they get labeled as lazy, or a freeloader. The US makes it extremely difficult for the not wealthy to leave. The elderly can't afford medications with how little they get with medicare and social security, and they are talking about stripping social security which will suck for all of us who already can't retire until we're in our 70s, if at all. Insurance decides what medications you're allowed to use, not your doctor. The cost of insurance also drives some doctors to quit practicing, so good luck finding a good one. If you have diseases like HIV or Diabetes the cost of your medication/insulin is insanely high and the government won't do anything to fix it. Instead they focus on building a wall to keep people out, or try turning the endangered species listing into a way to make money for letting animals go extinct. Climate change is a hoax according to our leaders, because they can't figure out a way to profit off of it. Politicians/publicists/lobbyists are all resorting to this manipulative misinformation and fear-based advertising to try and get people to vote the way they want them to, and oh and we have people shooting up public places all the time now. But don't talk about gun control, because half the **** country will bite your head off for "trying to take their guns". Instead call it a mental health issue, AND DO NOTHING TO FIX THAT EITHER.
But, don't worry because for the millionth time CNN is talking about how some group or another is "definitely" going to get Trump impeached. And then I suppose everything will just be rainbows and unicorns again... (sarcasm sign)

And that's all I can really think of off the top of my head, and with zero sleep.
I'm completely aware that other places have it worse. I'm not trying to win some messed up contest over who has it worse. Just sharing my opinion about the state of my country... which will no doubt get me bitched at by somebody else.
