Would Jesus approve of tactical voting?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Such as voting in the other party's primary/caucus to try to get them to nominate a weak candidate.

I hear the first thing he did after rising from the dead in the spring of 37 was a tactical vote so Caligula would have a weak opponent in the general. Most likely.

He wouldn't approve of it, He might not disapprove, but I suspect He might.


It's nice that you're trying to better yourself, but perhaps this is a better question for your clergy?....but really, the answer should be fairly obvious.  On the other hand, if you're into shaping Jesus into whatever you want Him to be, that's fine too, you'd be just like most religious people.  It's even ok if you don't (can't) see it that way, again, just like most religious people.

[Slander and/or Libel]

Seems that'd fall under bearing false witness, broadly defined, right? If you're using an instrument designed to let people express support and using it for the opposite purpose?

Most of my clergy have no formal theological education. The lead pastor has a degree in Accounting buy nothing from a seminary.

But they'd probably just say something like "Do whatever furthers the progressive agenda that Jesus stands for."

Wow, that's really cynical.

All of my pastors are Conservative, very much so.  But none of them have told me how to vote.
