On Twitter, I noted that a lot of actual, practicing Christians, not people who call themselves Christians, will stop voting if both parties keep nominating moral cretins insisting that people of faith choose between the lesser of two evils. It is still a choice for evil. Christians are admonished not to participate in evil.
